The Three-Bucket Dance Of Infertility

You need to land in one of these spots.

I’ve been chasing the infertility drain since about early 2021 (probably before that, but I didn’t really know). One of my friends in Atlanta tells me it’s what “drives the car” for me, which is probably true. I’ve written about it now about 115 times, with maybe this being the best one (or most prominent?):

I have a friend through church who has a kid (nice) but one of her professional colleagues (a female) and her husband are struggling with infertility themselves. This other couple, neither of whom I know, hit a wall recently psychologically — it happens, as I can tie infertility to almost totaling my car (see below) — and my friend asked me how to think about it. There’s no real way to think about infertility other than “Whoa, this kinda sucks,” but I can give you some buckets. Before I hit those buckets, though, here’s the article about the car totaling.
