And Now I Freak Out…

Today, we officially paid our deposit for IVF treatment. $1000 for that. Thanks COVID relief money! YIKES. I was all excited & ready for IVF until today. The weight of the financial component hit HARD. We got our start date, which is April 16th. I hate that we have to wait that long, but I’m

Update

I haven’t wanted to write a blog post. I haven’t wanted to really do anything regarding our journey. The last time I got on social media before today, I had jokingly posted about being annoyed with seeing several birth and pregnancy announcements upon scrolling for less than a minute.

Taboo? Screw You! 💁🏼‍♀️

I have been tossing around this post for several months. I don’t like sharing things that are currently a struggle because I don’t want to come off like a victim, bring more negativity, or seem like I’m whining. My purpose for sharing my journey, especially the hard stuff, is to give others hope, educate, and
