Welcome to IVF Baby Hope and to our infertility and IVF story and journey. Since I can remember I always wanted to be a Mom. But I had decided to wait to finish school and start a career, so it didn’t start becoming more of a reality as I entered into my early 30’s. For me, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be! I had come from a really large family on both sides, my Mom and her sisters had many kids, so I thought, it should be the same for me! I’ve been through a number of fertility treatments over a 9 year period including Clomid, Letrozole, IUI, and IVF and have experienced 6 miscarriages. The infertility crazy train as I call it! But ultimately, I don’t regret any of it, but I am sure my body and mental health would argue otherwise! My hope and husband has kept me going. Follow me on my continued journey by subscribing to my IVF Baby Hope YouTube channel and read about our full story.
I will be pulling together a variety of resources related to IVF and infertility that I feel can be helpful to those planning on starting or who are currently going through the process of treatments. The more we know the better advocates we can be for ourselves.
I wanted to create a spot to praise our wonderful Doctors who have gone above and beyond to help us along our infertility and IVF journey. If you have a Doctor you want to share, please send me information and clinic and we will post.
I have been given so much strength and hope by watching and reading other women’s stories throughout the years. I will be adding links to videos and articles here to pass along. If you have a story that you would like to add, please share with us.
I was 30 years old when I experienced my first miscarriage and loss and it really tough. I went into a pretty bad depression and it took me about two months to pull myself out of the big hole I had fallen into. I thought if you worked hard and put all your best efforts into life, what you really want will come easy. But for me, it took a big fall and a big uphill climb to get where I wanted to! But once I got to the top of that mountain, wow, was it worth it!
My husband and I tried to conceive for 6 months before going to a Fertility Specialist. She then helped us get pregnant with our first child. We did one round of Clomid and a HCG trigger shot and wham, it worked the first time. I wish all these other treatments were just like that! But let me tell you, I am forever and ever grateful that I was able to experience pregnancy and have a child. #Grateful #Blessed
