About Fertile Heart & Julia Indichova
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in the Fertile Heart community. Sixteen years ago, a diagnosis of “irreversible secondary infertility” marked a turning point in my life. Though I didn’t know it at the time, my soaring FSH levels were a gift that continues to unfold each day. Conceiving my younger daughter was the beginning of a pilgrimage that led to re-claiming my fertility in the most awe-inspiring ways. Perhaps the most compelling reason for creating this website is a deep knowing that a similar pilgrimage and gifts await every single person longing for a child. So thank you again for visiting.
Look around, connect with others through the message boards, come to a workshop, call in for a phone circle, and please let us know what you find useful and what you’d like to see added or changed.
In parting I’d like to share the quote from my second book, The Fertile Female: How the Power of Longing for a Child Can Save Your Life and Change the World. “I guess I might as well confess my bias right at the start: In the range of human experiences, motherhood, for me, is very near the top of the list. But motherhood will not save your life. To let all that comes -- the difficult and the easy -- move through you, and to respond to it as truthfully as you can, can not only save your own life, it can heal generations’ worth of grief in your family line. And it can help you find the courage to speak up and add to the Power of Good”-Julia Indichova Founder, FertileHeart.com
