How the Holidays Are Particularly Hard for Couples Struggling with Infertility

by Mary Rose Somarriba, Editor
Natural Womanhood


Marc Sherman and his wife Erin know the pain. Perhaps you have been trying to have a baby for a while now. As the year comes to a close, the sense of grief can feel like a heavy chain, pulling you down and stifling your joy for the season.

It’s one thing that babies seem to be everywhere at this time of year, and maybe unconsciously you had hoped you could bring some tidings of good news at a holiday gathering. Instead, you may feel like it’s one more year of infertility, on the books—perhaps you were in the same position last year—and one more on the way; will it ever end? The pain can be compounded when loved ones say unhelpful things.

So as we near Christmas, we at Natural Womanhood spoke with Marc Sherman of Organic Conceptions, on how real this pain can be for couples, and how loved ones might better respond.

Natural Womanhood is the most far-reaching women’s health literacy program since the Pill. We exist because many women are harmed by or at risk from the use of contraceptives, and most don’t know they have a viable alternative.

Natural Womanhood is a non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of fertility charting, as a way to promote disease prevention, self-knowledge, relational intimacy, and effective family planning. Natural Womanhood helps young women and couples regardless of their income, ethnicity, or religion.
