The holidays are a time for gratitude and together

The holidays are a time for gratitude and togetherness, but for those experiencing miscarriage or infertility, they can also be a bittersweet reminder of what could’ve been. If you’re struggling to feel thankful right now, that’s okay. You’re allowed to feel sadness, anger, and longing—it’s all valid. Give yourself grace to set boundaries, take time for yourself, and ask for support. You are not alone in this journey.

Remember we don’t know exactly what the future holds. So many people have faced unexpected turns in this journey and ended up with beautiful outcomes, even if the path wasn’t what they originally envisioned. It’s okay to focus on one day at a time, and know that each step forward is a step toward a new possibility, whether or not it’s clear right now.

November is National Adoption Month, which can be deeply meaningful for those who’ve suffered or are suffering from miscarriages. For many individuals or couples, recurrent miscarriages can make the journey to parenthood difficult and emotionally draining, and adoption offers an alternative path to building a family, providing hope and a sense of possibility after the heartbreak of pregnancy loss.

November 2nd is a day to recognize the struggles and resilience that come with infertility. With the election just days away, IVF has been a big topic, but for many families, it’s their only hope to grow the family they’ve dreamed of. About 2% of babies in the U.S. are born through IVF—that’s over 8 million lives! So when you vote, think of those families, the women fighting to have a baby, and all the people who wouldn’t be here without IVF. 💙

For this edition of My Miscarriage Story, Samantha Diamond, the co-founder and CEO of @birdbeco, sheds light on the intense—yet often invisible—experience of pregnancy loss. While expecting her third, she had a vivid dream of loss—and discovered she had miscarried. This profound shock and grief marked a pivotal moment, intertwining personal heartache with a commitment to providing resources for those navigating fertility challenges. Eventually, the experience fueled a desire to support others, birthing Bird&Be as a way to provide accessible fertility resources and mitigate the loneliness that often shadows loss and infertility.
