You are unable to conceive. Should you go on through life feeling sorry for yourself? NO. Look around, and you’ll see other ways of being happy!
When someone asks, “Why you don’t have a child? It’s been so many years of marriage!”… it pierces your soul.
When you take a number of medicines to conceive, and go through whatever your doctor suggests, but still you get your periods on time… it breaks you inside.
When you see your younger siblings, cousins, friends, colleagues around you, having their own children… it kills you.
You feel incomplete. You feel sick, depressed. You feel inferior to all other women having children. You just stop loving yourself – you stop believing, you stop praying….and you stop hoping!
And this is actually where you go wrong. Sub fertility and infertility treatments do not have a 100% success rate, but if you stop trying, you put a full stop yourself. Keep on fighting.
And remember that your education, your work, your behaviour, are the qualities that define you. Not having a child doesn’t make you lesser than other women. A childless life can be equally fruitful, or may be better if you make it. Your hobbies, your passion can make you bigger.
Follow your dreams and aspirations. Keep struggling with the word ‘infertile’, keep hoping. And along with it keep living every moment to the fullest. Love your life, the way it is.
In case you are sure that medically it is not possible for you to conceive, and you want to experience motherhood, then believe me, you are special. You are appointed for a very divine intention. Don’t kill the mother inside you, but look around. You’ll find children who do not have parents. Step forward towards them, and then see.
Life will smile back at you in a way it hadn’t smiled at anyone.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
