I am Cindy and welcome to Surviving & Thriving. I started this website as a way to share my infertility and life journey with others. Spreading infertility awareness is my passion and I will do whatever I can to help other women and men know they are not alone. That being said, infertility does not define me- I am a wife, mother, sister, friend and so much more. You will find so many topics on this site that will share a bit of my story. I love to share and only write when I feel truly inspired, so what you read will always be from the heart. Writing is healing and therapeutic for me and I hope it helps you , too. Thank you for looking around and I hope you find something that resonates with you or can help you know how to help someone else navigate their own infertility journey.
