Journey to Motherhood

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written about my fertility journey. In a way, it’s by design.

Ahh yes, our fourth IUI treatment was a success, as I mentioned in my last post! Unfortunately, the success of this pregnancy also came with some complications. Leading up…

We had gone through four IUI treatments, as I mentioned in last week’s post. But let’s go back in time for a moment.

Hello and welcome, friend! 🥰 In my last post, I touched on a lighter topic. I want to keep a good balance on my blog so it’s not overwhelmingly depressing. Not just for myself, but for my loyal audience, as well. (Yes, you. 🥹💗) If there are any topics that anyone would like to know…

Heyyyyy you! Come back for more, have you? I’m glad you returned because there’s still a long way to go. And please know that I love getting to share it with you! 😍 If you haven’t already, you’ll want to read We Want a Baby before reading this post. You know, catch up on the…
