If a ‘rainbow’ is a baby born after loss, then a ‘unicorn’ is a baby born after infertility. One of my many side projects is helping to grow a supportive community for parents who have experienced a reproductive trauma. I have fabulous colleagues who run the Rainbows & Unicorns blog with me, and today we launched the RainCorns Tribe* Facebook group!
RainCorns Tribe is a peer-led, pro-choice, science-based, secular support group for parents who’ve experienced a reproductive trauma. This includes, but is not limited to, support for people who have experienced pregnancy/baby loss, infertility, pregnancy termination, traumatic birth, pre-/postpartum depression or anxiety, as well as those in the LGBTQIA+ community.
Please join us!
Friends and allies of parents after reproductive trauma, and anyone still TTC, are welcome.
* RainCorns Tribe is closed group, meaning that all member requests have to be screened by an admin. Non-members can see who is a member, the group logo, and group description, but they CANNOT see the group’s content. All members will be vetted and must be approved by admins.

Hi, I am an egg donor recepriant and have had a lot of fertility issues including early onset of menopause and hypothyroidism due to previous cancer treatment. I have a son from this and he is the light of my life( my poor hubby). But I am now trying for a sibling for him and have had many medical road blocks lately. Thin lining and a failed FET have been the lastest with a hysterscopy thrown in. Just wanted to connect with women who have been there too.
Welcome, Louise! It’s nice to meet you. I’m sorry to hear about your continued struggles, I know it’s so hard. And I’m sorry your FET didn’t work this time. What are your next steps?
