“For three years, my body has been a prisoner of trying to get pregnant, I’ve either been about to go into an IVF cycle, in the middle of an IVF cycle, or coming out of an IVF cycle.

For so many women, and not just women in the spotlight, people feel very entitled to know, ‘Do you want kids?’ A lot of people, especially people that have fertility issues, just say ‘no’ because that’s a lot easier than being honest about whatever is actually going on.

People mean so well, but they have no idea the harm or frustration it can cause. I never wanted kids then I became a stepmom! and there was no place I’d rather be than with them.”
