For the Barreness is a supportive community for those who have faced infertility, pregnancy loss, IVF or fertility treatments, or any other challenges on their path to parenthood. This is a safe space to share our stories, connect, and find solace in knowing we’re not alone in this often isolating journey.

📣📣📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: The “Not so happy” Mother’s Day Card Exchange is now open!

A little love in the mail for a day that can feel especially heavy for so many of us. Whether you're still in the thick of trying, parenting after loss or infertility, or living child-free-not-by-choice, you know how complicated and tender this day can be. This exchange is a chance to send a bit of kindness to someone who is struggling on this holiday and to receive that same warmth in return (if you would like! You can select to only send).

No matter where you are in your journey, you're not alone—and a heartfelt card might be the reminder you didn’t know you needed.

“Reading the stories of others has really helped me because I don’t know anyone in person that has gone through this. I love to see that there are so many people feeling the same way I have been feeling!”
