Your goals

How do goals apply to infertility? Well I believe that infertility is filled with a lot of unknowns and one of the best ways to deal with the pains of infertility is to take control where you can. I feel that goals are one of the ways to take a bit of control.


Obviously the big picture goal is to have a baby but until that day happens, you can break things down into manageable goals. For example if you are just starting the infertility journey a good goal could be to research the different brands of Prenatal vitamins to find the best fit for you and then make a habit of taking them daily.

As your journey progresses a good goal might be to set up a doctor’s appointment and then setting goals to follow what the doctor orders.

Now as women you should set individual goals; ones that are going to help you take control in some way shape or form. Some ideas of goals include:

1) Research infertility: knowledge is power!

2) Join a support group

3) Start an exercise program to help make your body baby healthy.

4) Join a volunteer group

5) Start a fertility health diet

6) Chart your basal body temperature

7) Start journaling about your feelings

8) Set a goal to save a certain amount of money to devote to fertility treatments or baby items

Whatever goals you set, make sure you make them manageable, measurable and write them down. Also make sure that you review those goals on a regular basis. By starting good habits now, it can help you feel like you are working towards something and help create a sense of control.
