My husband and I got married in August of 2021. After 6 months of trying to have a baby, we ended up at our first fertility clinic. We were so unsure of what to expect. The doctor told us we would never have a baby without medical intervention and that IVF was our only option. We were devastated. We did
Going through fertility treatments is an incredibly challenging journey. Doing it while living in a country far from your family makes it even more difficult. I faced countless medical appointments, setbacks, and disappointments, often feeling very alone. Because I did not have a close support network, I often wished I had someone who truly understood what I was experiencing—someone I
After I became pregnant and lost my baby, something inside of me broke physically and emotionally. For many years, I went through different fertility treatments trying to get pregnant. My husband and I began a long journey of surgeries for both of us, IVF attempts that failed… and still, we couldn’t conceive. At some point, I decided to pause everything.
Our journey to starting a family began two years into marriage. We were young, healthy, and honestly, a little naïve to the reality of infertility. After a year of trying, we saw a specialist, and that’s when I was diagnosed with endometriosis. I had surgery to remove scar tissue, and we began the long road of fertility treatments. Month after
Back in the spring of 2023, I was diligently trying to find a part-time weekend job that offered fertility coverage as my husband and I couldn’t afford treatments. I already had a full-time job; however, they didn’t have insurance that covered fertility coverage. I applied for several retail jobs and was hired at Tractor Supply. After a month of working
In January 2021, after a failed IUI, I came to Moms in the Making with a heart full of anger and with the question, “why me?” I always thought that if I had enough money for the fertility treatments that this wouldn’t happen to me. I went through 11 years of infertility and I got plenty of diagnoses. The last one was: unknown
We moved into our townhouse in 2015 after we were married. We loved it, but we knew it wasn’t our forever home. We expected to bring home our first baby there, and began trying to conceive in 2017. In 2019, I had a dream of the room we had begun to call our nursery. I asked God what it meant, and
We have been married for nine years. During that time, I experienced three ectopic pregnancies. My last ectopic was in November 2018, right when we were going to try our first IUI but I became pregnant naturally. We couldn’t resume fertility treatments until I was healed from the ectopic pregnancy. That took us into January 2019, however, my husband deployed
My husband and I have been married 9 years. Before treatments, we had 2 miscarriages. We did 3 rounds of Femara & 3 IUIs with no baby. Then we decided to pursue IVF, but we only got 1 embryo. I got pregnant; however, I had another loss. This time it hit me hard, my heart was broken and my hopes
As I’ve shared before, my job wasn’t a good fit when I transferred from Michigan to Florida; it was the same, but far too different. I was emotionally and physically burdened and, in December 2021 with support of my husband, I quit. I pulled my 401k to support the household until I found another job. When that was spent and
