When Nature Strikes: What a Flooded House in New Mexico Taught Me About Fertility Journeys
Have you ever witnessed something so unexpected that it completely shifts your perspective? Recently, a video popped up everywhere showing a house in Ruidoso, New Mexico, being swept away by rushing floodwaters while visitors at a nearby brewery looked on in stunned silence. You can watch the unforgettable footage here. It’s a striking reminder of how quickly life can change—and how unpredictable the journey can be, whether you're facing natural disasters or navigating the complex path to parenthood.
This powerful event got me thinking: what can such an overwhelming, uncontrollable moment teach us about fertility journeys, especially those that happen at home?
The Unexpected Turns in Our Fertility Stories
Much like that house being uprooted by the flood, fertility journeys are often marked by sudden shifts. Whether it’s an unexpected cycle change, emotional upheaval, or logistical challenges, things rarely go as planned. And when you’re trying to conceive (TTC) from the comfort of your own home, those surprises can feel even more intimate—and sometimes isolating.
But here’s the thing: resilience doesn’t mean going it alone. It means finding the tools, support, and knowledge to rebuild and keep moving forward, no matter what the waters look like.
