Our journey started almost exactly 5 years ago, when we realized we weren’t getting pregnant after a year of tracking my ovulation. After a series of tests, we found that we were dealing with severe male factor infertility. After many more tests and lots of waiting and thinking about the next steps, we decided to […]
Rainey and Isaac tried to get pregnant for 3 years after they got married. They suffered 1 chemical.

I had a fairly easy route to becoming a mom. My husband and I were blessed to get pregnant with our first son soon after we started trying to start a family. I had a pretty normal pregnancy until I was diagnosed with Cholestasis and induced at 36 weeks. After spending some time in the
