Description
What if the journey to parenthood wasn't the romantic, fairy-tale route everyone paints, but instead, a maze of medical interventions, emotional turmoil, and gut-wrenching decisions? Join us as we unmask our deeply personal struggle with infertility, from a vasectomy at 24 to years of unsuccessful attempts at conceiving. We bare the heartache, the hope, and the biology behind the trials we faced, offering solace and advice to those embarking on this challenging path.Conception wasn't our only struggle. We also experienced the blinding joy of an unexpected pregnancy and the crushing despair of a devastating miscarriage. Brace yourself for a raw, no-holds-barred discussion on the emotional rollercoaster that is infertility, its impact on our marriage, and how we navigated the painful yet essential process of acknowledging and addressing our emotions.To wrap up, we take you along on our journey through IVF, a decision laden with ethical, moral, spiritual, and personal implications. Hear about our trip to South Carolina for the procedure, the fear of losing the baby during pregnancy, and the importance of traversing this journey as a team. Today we're enjoying our miracles babies who are now toddlers, but wow, what a ride to get here! Hopefully our story can offer a beacon of light to those navigating the seas of infertility.Connect with Lauren:InstagramFacebook Connect with Jason:Jay’s InstagramJay’s FacebookBraveCo Instagramwww.braveco.org
