For a while, I contemplated whether to continue sharing my fertility journey publicly. While I’ve enjoyed connecting with others online who are going through similar experiences, the recent disappointment has made me reconsider.

I understand why some women and families choose privacy. Seeking fertility treatment can be isolating, even when surrounded by love and support. The constant worry, decision-making, and self-doubt can be overwhelming. It’s tempting to retreat into isolation and avoid judgment.

I’ve chosen motherhood and decided to pursue this journey alone. Balancing medication schedules, self-injections, and emotional ups and downs while maintaining a positive environment for a potential embryo can be challenging.

It would be easy to give up and isolate myself. But I’ve never taken the easy path. Despite my tendency to overthink and analyze, I’ve always worked hard to achieve my goals.

I choose to be open and vulnerable. I choose my village, my family, my support systems, and my cheerleaders. I won’t let this setback deter me from my dream.

While some people prefer privacy during their fertility journey, I find strength in sharing my experiences. This blog is a way for me to process my thoughts and feelings, save memories for my future child, and connect with my loved ones.

I’m not afraid to lay it all out on the table, even if it means facing public disappointment. I know that I have your love and prayers behind me as I move forward.

On Wednesday, I’m taking the first step towards understanding what went wrong with the transfer. I’ll undergo a biopsy to assess my uterine microbial environment and determine if any treatment is needed.

On Monday, I have a surgery scheduled to explore my uterus and remove any potential obstructions.

In November, I’ll begin another round of hormone treatments.

It would be easy to isolate myself, but I’ve never taken the easy path. I choose to face this challenge head-on, with courage and determination.

To those who are facing infertility and choosing to keep your journey private, know that you are not alone. Your strength and resilience are inspiring.

My GoFundMe page remains open and your generosity will directly contribute to the cost of my fertility treatments.
