We Kept Going… But Not in the Same Way

Jen’s path to becoming a mom didn’t follow a straight line.

After years of trying, multiple rounds of IVF, and not a single embryo, she made the decision to move forward with egg donation, hoping that would finally be the turning point.

But even then, things didn’t go as expected.

After four failed transfers, Jen found herself in a place so many women reach in this process:

Do you keep going the same way… or do you change something?

In this episode, Jen shares what it looked like to keep moving forward while also making the difficult decision to shift direction, from choosing a new agency and egg donor to changing clinics, and what ultimately led to the birth of her daughter.

We talk about:

• What it’s like to go through years of infertility with no clear answers
• Why egg donation doesn’t always mean immediate success
• The emotional weight of repeated failed transfers
• How to recognize when it’s time to make a change
• What gave her the confidence to try a different path
• The reality of holding onto hope while adjusting expectations

This episode is a reminder that continuing forward doesn’t always mean staying on the same path.

Sometimes, the most important step is choosing a different one.
