IVF is a rollercoaster island, a swinging pendulum of hope and despair.
It’s an island built on endless prayers. Of “letting go” and of relentless hustling. Of zillions of shots, doctor appointments, and ultrasounds. Of constantly saying, We’re doing everything possible that’s in our control, while also believing so much of it is out of our hands.
It’s a shipwreck island. One you desperately want to leave, yet somehow must hold onto long enough to endure. It’s a place where you never quite know when to let go, when to throw in the towel, or when to keep fighting. Every step feels like an uphill climb.
And the most dangerous part? The quicksand. Because it’s so easy to be consumed by it. IVF can quietly take over your entire existence if you let it, I have seen this happen to too many others.
So instead, you remind yourself to be present. To feel the sun, the breeze, the pulse of your amazing life you’re already living, even as you pray for the chance to create new life, too.
It is the greatest joy to share that we are 31 weeks pregnant. After more than two years of infertility, here we are. These past two years have taught me so much, from endless research and advocating for myself, to learning the latest technology, data, and studies. One of my new favorite things is to help others who are in the thick of it. So if you/or know someone who is going through infertility/ivf happy to chat!
