Why I am here, for me and for you.

As a young woman facing multiple reproductive issues, I have often felt like a failure at womanhood. My body felt like it was letting me down, like I was somehow falling short of what I was created to be.

I felt failed by doctors and healthcare professionals. I was dismissed, rushed, or left carrying more questions than answers. Appointments ended without clarity. Tests came back inconclusive or confusing. Each visit added another layer of uncertainty, and I would leave wondering what was wrong with me and why no one seemed able or willing to help me understand.

I navigate the desire for motherhood alongside infertility, sometimes alone and sometimes hand in hand with my husband. It is a tension without a clear roadmap. Grief and hope exist side by side. Wanting something deeply while living in uncertainty about whether it will ever come is a weight few people talk about honestly.

What made this journey even harder was the absence of resources and support. I did not know who to ask. I did not know what questions were allowed. There was no safe place to talk about the fear, anger, guilt, or loneliness that came with this experience. Without that, I felt completely in the dark, surrounded by millions of questions and no one to discuss them with.

I created Her Story because I know I am not the only woman carrying this silence. This space exists for women who feel unseen by their bodies, unheard by the healthcare system meant to care for them, and unsure of where they belong in conversations about womanhood, fertility, and motherhood. Her Story is a place to tell the truth, to ask the hard questions, and to remind ourselves and each other that we are not broken because of what our bodies are doing.

If you are here, you are not alone anymore.
