Meet Lauren, an #infertilitywarrior who has gone through a ton so far throughout her fertility journey, including a near-fatal pulmonary embolism from being on birth control when she was 19; discovering her husband's male factor infertility, four IUIs and medicated cycles, and lots of "glimmers of hope and heartbreak." After IVF and some devastating failed embryo transfers, depression and a diagnosis of endometriosis, Lauren and her husband decided to pursue adoption, which is where they find themselves now—feeling hopeful for the future, but still guarding their hearts.
