Y Si Ya No Puedo, ¿Qué Hago?: Un Relato De Infertilidad

This story (10 minute read) describes the reality of being infertile when a woman yearns to have children. Patricia Cruz Pineda is a rare case (currently one in a million) who cannot have children naturally or using IVF. She and her husband divorced because his frustrated desire to be a father led to him start drinking heavily. She will never have children, and focuses on advice for women in her situation: focus on family, friends, and the community, and avoid events like children’s parties and baby showers for a while. Most useful for a community group focused on women’s health issues. Written in Peninsular dialect and very directive, which might draw mixed reactions from Latinx/Latin American readers.
