My saga began in the year 2000. At the end of October, I found out I was pregnant with my third child. I had two daughters, ages two and eleven at the time. I was one month away from turning thirty-six. Life was good. At my second prenatal appointment, my obstetrician said my uterus was…

Little did I know on October 8, 2021 my life would change forever. I got a call from my doctor saying I needed to admit myself to labor a delivery because I have tested positive for Toxoplasmosis- a parasitic disease women typically get from cats. I knew this could be devastating for the baby. I…

Hello,Welcome to Ella’s story. Ella was conceived after two back to back miscarriages & two years & 8 months later of trying to conceive. I took a round of clomid & we were so very excited when I found out I was pregnant. Every milestone and every week we passed was a blessing to us,…

My Infertility Journey started back when I was just 27 years old. I never wanted to be an old Mom and so, after 6 months of marriage, we started trying to conceive. After 6 months and, being the controlling type of person that I am (am sure most women going through this journey can relate),…

I was on a birth control called implanon which made me feel insane but it was better than the alternative at the time, pregnancy. Health insurance was…

I am a TFMR mama. I am here to share my son Sebastian’s story. At the age of 12 I would talk about getting married, having a home, 3 kids and owning 2 dogs. I met the love of my life in January of 2020. From time to time we’ve had our ups and downs…

We were finally ready to start our family and I got pregnant after 3 months of trying. We were so happy to find out we were pregnant in early November 2020. Our due date was July 30, 2021. This was my first pregnancy and our entire family was very excited. We were nervous about any…

Our 1 in 1000 I was once joyously naive. I didn’t think I was immune to things going wrong in pregnancy, but I simply didn’t acknowledge how unexplainably and devastatingly wrong they can go. Even after an early miscarriage in my first pregnancy. It was heart-breaking but also encouraging to know I could fall pregnant.…
