About Me:
I met my husband in 2009, we married in 2010, and we've been a couple of parental wannabes ever since.
Years of trying to conceive have brought confusion, frustration, sadness, bitterness, and heartache. We've gone through multiple failed fertility treatments over the years, including an IUI and three rounds of IVF, multiple canceled cycles and seven losses before seeking out an expert in reproductive immunology to help solve the riddle that was our infertility. After an extensive panel of blood work, Dr. Braverman suspected I had endometriosis, which was confirmed by a laparoscopy in January of 2019. One month later, to our shock, we were pregnant naturally!
We pray that our story brings you hope that someday you, too, will achieve your dream!

In this episode, I talk with my Insta-BFF, Elyse, who chose to become a single mother with the help of fertility treatments. Like most of us, she’s been through the ringer but you’ll be happy to know that it all paid off in the end.

In this episode, I speak with a woman who prefers to remain anonymous, we’ll call her Kate. She share’s her story about being a Native American living in Alaska, suffering a miscarriage and a chemical pregnancy, and making peace with living child free. This is unlike any story we’ve shared on the podcast, so I truly hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we are discussing the history of endometriosis so we can try and figure out why some providers observe this disease as a major cause of infertility and some do not.
