Infertility And Me: Stories of Infertility Survivors, IVF, & TTC

Dadriaunna, angel momma, wife, and faith based fertility advocate walks us through losing her baby boy at 24 weeks gestation and how her tragedy led to passion and purpose. Dadriaunna's unwavering Faith in God pushed her to seek mental health treatment post the stillbirth of her son. It was then she was able to climb out of darkness and through the trenches of grief, trading her ashes for God's beauty.

We delve deeply into the idea that black and brown women should have to suffer in silence and bare the weight of pain alone. Dadriaunna encourages anyone, despite race or religion, to find community specific to your needs and consider the concept of what being fertile really means. Join me as we get real about the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual effects of infant loss.

In this episode of I.A.M, I discuss in detail my experience with an infertility clinic that I ultimately never returned to. As fertility and infertility warriors it is imperative that we feel connected and build strong rapport with our RE's and nursing staff. After all, we spend a vast amount of time and large sums of money on our journey's to parenthood. As a patient going through IUI, IVF, fertility drugs, egg donor, sperm donor etc. we should understand every step of the process thoroughly and feel comfortable asking questions. Being an advocate for yourself or spouse will ensure less stressful cycles and ease anxieties. Join me as we get real about changing RE's at any stage of the process, even if it means waiting longer to start treatment.

Amy walks us through her diagnosis of endometriosis as a teen and her infertility journey to date. Amy began trying to conceive six months prior to her wedding in September of 2015. Two years go by with no success of conceiving, Amy decides to have laparoscopic surgery to remove stage four endometriosis.

After her surgery, Amy's doctor put her in medically induced menopause for four months. This would allow her body to heal properly without menses. Once the four months were completed, Amy and her husband became pregnant naturally. At 20 weeks(5 months), it was revealed during the anatomy scan that Amy's baby boy had more than one heart condition and other abnormalities. Amy and hubby's baby was born stillborn at 21 weeks gestation. Amy and her husband tried to conceive naturally again for 8 months without success. They then started their IVF journey which lead them to multiple rounds of IVF.
