Infertility is a very hard and invisible disease. It cripples, terrorizes, and destroys lives. I hope that through my story you either feel validated in your feelings or finally understand a small portion of what your infertile friend, mother, sister, aunt, neighbor, or coworker is or has gone through. May you finally understand their ugly side of hope.

A note from Luanne Rose: "I have been through hell and back in attempt to have children of my own. I have cried more tears than I thought I ever had inside me and left so many, too many, heartbreaks in my past. Through my trials and struggles, I have come to find that I am not alone in my moments of self-hate and stings of jealousy when I hear yet another friend is pregnant. I have also realized that almost every person I was surrounded by that was not experiencing the same thing as I was craved to know and understand what I was going through."
