Amy Klein, THE TRYING GAME

Amy Klein, THE TRYING GAME

Amy: I'm a writer and an essayist. I never thought I'd be writing a prescriptive book, but it has a lot of my story when it's relevant in there. I am a health journalist, so I've interviewed a lot of doctors and a lot of patients because I want to help people not make the same mistakes I did. I want to give them answers to the questions. Because there's so much information out there, I want to help them get through the journey. Even if it's something that they show their mother, "Read this book," or show their best friend, "Read this chapter on baby envy. This is why I'm having trouble being happy for you. It's not that I'm not happy for you. It's just that I'm not happy right now, and I want what you have," if that could just make people feel less alone. I say if you think going to all these events is going to make you a better person, like going to a bris, where I had a cry myself in the bathroom stall, if you think going there is going to make you a better person, then go. If you can, try to take care of yourself. I have an article coming out soon about what I learned about infertility is helping me during quarantine.
