Ep. 23: Angela Coraccio on infertility

Angela Coraccio is a writer and editor who was involved in starting up the Abortion Rights Campaign in Ireland. In this episode of Bits of Me, she shares her experience of infertility: from fighting for an endometriosis diagnosis and coming to terms with the fact that her husband was not sold on the idea of trying for a baby, to measuring and scheduling and tracking everything, trying IUI, and eventually deciding that she was done focusing on this one thing she wasn't able to achieve. We talk about the online forums, the things people say, what grief does to you and why reproductive choices should be destigmatised, regardless of the situation.  You'll find Angela's blog, which features everything from home renovation updates to thoughts on infertility and body image, at http://thinkofmeoften.blogspot.com.
