So, I’m kind of freaking out.
In a good way.
I have been writing for the SheKnows Parenting channel for a few months and at the end of the year, one of my assignment editors asked me if I would be interested in writing a weekly column on infertility.
Immediately I was a ball of delight and nerves.
Interested?
Yes!
But also terrified.
I’m neck deep into my infertility journey and it is pretty much all I think about these days, but could I realistically come up with enough topics to sustain a weekly column? After mulling it over, discussing it with my husband and a few very dear friends and making a topic list that multiplied several dozen times over, I decided to go for it! Infertility is a topic that is too near and dear for me not to write about and if my story can help just one person, then I will be gratified.
Infertility does not discriminate and it is so important that for those who are fighting this battle to stick together. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing my story on SheKnows and I hope that if you or someone you know is struggling with infertility or secondary infertility, you will read along, comment, ask questions and that we support one another.
My first post is up today, Holding on to hope during infertility and I would be so very grateful if you read it and helped me promote it.

So proud of you for taking this bold step, Tonya.
Good luck with the column!
Thank you, I am a reluctant pro when it comes to this topic, but so grateful for the opportunity to bring it more awareness.
Oh Tonya, I am so terribly proud and happy for you.
I’d be HONORED to share this for you and my heart is always with yours.
“I won’t give up, if you don’t give up.”

Thank you dear sweet friend. I appreciate all of your support, kind words and love. xoxo
This is all you, Tonya. Sharing your struggles with others to help them! I’m sure you’ll help many couples with your new column and meet some wonderful people. You made the right choice and I’m so proud of you! You’re a.m.a.z.i.n.g! XOXO
Thank you, my forever friend. I hope by sharing my words that I can help others. xoxo
I am so glad that you agreed to doing this column. I too was curious as to whether there is enough material to write something every week but you of course proved to me that there was indeed.
Like I commented over there on that column, I can confidently say that there is no braver and stronger women out there then you. You are remarkable and truly do inspire me everyday with your determination and perseverance. You are an amazing writer and really know how to share your story eloquently. Your readers over there and here of course too are very very lucky to have you. XOXOX
I have already submitted over 40 topics and come up with more every day. There will never be a loss of subject matter. Sadly.
Thanks for your support. xoxo
I hope that your story helps others and I will do my best to promote your words.
Thanks, Jessica. I appreciate you helping me spread the word!
