À propos de cet audio
In this episode, we open up about one of the most emotionally heavy chapters of our IVF journey.
Retrieval day... the day we had built so much hope around. We talk about what actually happened that day, the emotions leading up to it, and the uncertainty that followed. Shortly after, we were in Mexico when we finally received our embryo results: a moment that should’ve felt like relief, but came with complicated emotions.
We then walk through our first transfer and the heartbreak of learning it failed. Transfer number two followed, bringing a brief moment of hope with a false positive on our anniversary... only to end in a failed blood test days later while I was on a plane to Orlando, struggling with guilt for not being there for my wife.
As if that wasn’t enough, we share how learning that close friends gave birth during this time added another layer of pain and what it feels like to move forward knowing we have just one embryo left.
This episode is about grief, resilience, missed moments, and holding onto hope when things don’t go as planned.
