1. Describe the process of getting pregnant. Was it easy for you? Was it hard? Did you have to go through fertility treatment? Getting pregnant was relatively trivial for my Husband and I. In November of 2021, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). My OBGYN at the time had just handed me a brochure about […]
Our journey to a baby wasn’t easy. My husband Dan and I had been trying to fall pregnant for around a year when I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS).

Our journey began almost 5 years ago when we decided we were ready to have children. I was 39 and Ty was 34. We’d been together for 3 years and knew it was forever. I had my IUD removed and thought everything would fall into place and be super easy. My first pregnancy was at

Rainbows & unicorns I never would have thought my adult life would revolve around rainbows and unicorns until the infertility world blew up in our faces. My husband and I were married in July 2019. I finally got my fairy tale happy ending and we couldn’t wait for the next step of having a baby
August 27th, 2022 will always be remembered as my boy’s birthday. Sarvin Bhalru was born on this day at 22 weeks and 1 day and lived for 4 hours with no support until he joined the stars. It all started in February when my husband and I decided to officially start trying, so I removed
