Short Works

In the depths of fertility treatments I used to wonder if I would ever have a child or experience being a mother and here I am.

As a kid and teenager I used to think about whether I would ever be an aunt, and I am one.

As a university graduate I questioned if I would ever be a writer, and this is now my corporate profession.

As a young adult I dreamed of adopting a dog. Now, I can’t imagine my family without our sweet rescue pup.

I know I’ve been missing in action on here for quite some time, but I promise, I have good reason.

Earlier this year, I became a mom.

But the road to get here was a challenge.

Together, my husband and I navigated ~3.5 years of infertility, multiple doctors appointments, tests, and countless drives to the fertility clinic. I was prescribed various medications, most of which made me ill, all while my husband administered shots, wiped my tears, and walked alongside me through many months of disappointment and grief.

While this journey was very personal, I’m sharing part of my story in hopes of making anyone who may be navigating a similar journey know that they’re not alone. I know how isolating and trying infertility can be and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

To say I’m grateful for modern medicine and science is an understatement. Every day I thank the universe for a healthy baby. I’m so in awe of my body and how it grew and carried a human being. I never want to take that for granted.

My question is: are more content writers using AI and not making any changes to content? Or are AI outputs influencing our language choices?
