Your #1 Digital Reproductive Health Companion

I always thought that I would be done having my kids by 28 max, but I'm 34+ and I'm still trusting God. It's a journey that I never anticipated and one that has tested me in ways I never imagined. The longing for a child, the hope and excitement each month, only to be met with disappointment and heartache. It's a rollercoaster of emotions that no one prepares you for. Infertility can be isolating, but Fertitude is bringing together us girls who are fighting the same fight, who understand the pain, so we can lift each other up when the days feel unbearable.

As a preggy mama, having a network of other women who understand the challenges and joys of this beautiful journey makes all the difference. While my friends are amazing, they're in different life stages and couldn't relate to the daily triumphs and struggles of pregnancy in the same way. From the first kicks, to the occassional cravings, not being able to sleep on my belly, sometimes you just need someone who really gets it. I know my friends tried their best sha. But this is exactly why a community like Fertitude will be a huge game-changer for women across Africa and beyond. That sense of belonging is everything!

After undergoing a cesarean delivery, my journey into motherhood took an unexpected turn. The recovery process was challenging, both physically and emotionally. In those moments of frustration and uncertainty, I turned to online communities for support. I vividly remember connecting with a woman who had gone through a similar experience. Finally, I had found someone who truly understood the unique challenges I was facing. It was through this experience that I realized the importance of safe spaces where we can openly express our pain and struggles. Fertitude is playing a vital role in providing that much-needed resource and support system for all women.
