Why me? Fertility issues are enough of a struggle, I didn’t know if my baby would survive after birth - with Heather (IVF, Cholestasis, Induction, Uterine Scarring)
In this episode I speak with Heather, who takes us through her struggles of trying to conceive. She tried for 12 months unsuccessfully when she finally went and consulted with a fertility specialist who discovered she had a blocked tube and rather than going through the process of rectifying the issue, decided IVF would be the path they would take. Unfortunately, she had to go through 5 rounds of IUI before her insurance would cover her IVF treatment. But luckily for her, Heather fell pregnant on her first round. The struggles didn’t end there though, she was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, had a bleed at 28 weeks and later developed cholestasis which resulted in the induction of her son, but not the end of her harrowing journey. Right after birth, her son was rushed to the NICU and the following morning had to be airlifted to another hospital to be put on life saving machines, where he stayed for the first 30 days of his life. Heather has since had 3 unsuccessful embryo transfers and has discovered she has scarring in her uterus. She has one embryo left, but is still undecided if they will go ahead and try again.
