We would not give up
30.03.2021

My partner and I have been together for 11 years and are 30 and 35 years old. We started our monitoring at ovo in 2019 after a year of trying to conceive naturally. After several tests, it turned out that we had unexplained infertility. It was frustrating not being able to conceive naturally. To this day I still have a hard time accepting this infertility. We tried 5 inseminations without success. We were hopeful each time and when my test was negative, it was disheartening. We turned to IVF. We had 18 follicles harvested at the time of the egg retrieval and from this harvest, we had 7 frozen embryos. Despite all our hopes, I was very stressed and sad. I wondered if it was going to work, if we were ever going to be parents, and I was completely floored when I heard of other women or friends getting pregnant when we were having so much trouble. Against all odds, my first frozen embryo transfer worked. I am pregnant with a beautiful boy and we are so happy. I have learned not to give up, that despite my despair and anxiety, life can find its way. Good luck to all of you and keep hoping and persevering despite the storm of infertility!
