  • Diary Entry Eight: Goodbye IUI, Hello IVF

    Send a text

     This week on The Waiting Walk, I’m stepping into my final round of IUI—the third and final one required by our insurance before IVF becomes an option. I’m sharing where I am in the process, what this round looks like, and how I’m holding hope. Plus, you’ll hear from other women walking their own paths—whether through IUI, IVF, or somewhere in between. Every walk is different. Every walk matters.

    Until next time-breathe, walk gently, and hold onto hope.

If you’re in the middle of waiting, hoping, or just trying to breathe through it-I see you. You’re not alone.
