I didn’t think getting pregnant was going to be difficult for me. My partner and I were both healthy and relatively young. However, after a year of trying to get pregnant, we found ourselves across from an infertility specialist. One miscarriage (on Christmas Day), an unexplained infertility diagnosis, and three IUI cycles later, we were finally pregnant. It took many doctor’s appointments, tests, and invasive procedures. The emotional roller coaster of holding both hope and grief together can take its toll. I found so much comfort in speaking with others who experienced infertility. I hope to be a source of support for someone else experiencing the same.
