Inside Infertility . Content Warning.
Infertility isn’t just a “journey.” It’s a quiet heartbreak that repeats itself month after month. I’ve been walking through IUIs and now IVF, doing everything my doctors ask, everything my heart can handle… and still, the hardest part is the waiting.

The Beggar’s Curse
The Beggar’s Curse Uncle Chaman was known in his neighborhood as the most miserly man around. Whenever a guest visited his house, after the usual formal greetings, he would start complaining about every little thing: “You won’t want tea, right? That’s harmful. Well, the sherbet is slightly warm; will that do? The cake and biscuit shop is closed right now; what can I do? The samosa seller is just heating the oil; it will take some time. How long do you plan to sit here?” And so on.
