I know he’s hurting too. Even if he doesn’t tell me all the time. Seeing a baby can be just as triggering for him as it can be for me. Infertility is painful for everyone involved.

for 6 years of our lives together we have tried to have a baby. that is 2,190 days. that is 72 months. during those 6 years we had 1 miscarriage (2017) & 4 failed intrauterine inseminations (IUIs) (2018-2019) before we decided to try invitro fertilization (IVF) this spring. // i took an extended break from social media during that time to focus on my health, my family, & ultimately getting pregnant. i’m so happy to finally announce that our 1st IVF round was successful! after i took my last hormone shot 2 weeks ago i snapped this picture showing all of the syringes & medication vials that i had to inject myself with to even have a chance at getting pregnant. it was an extremely expensive, emotional roller coaster, but one that I would do again in a heartbeat. we are so excited, but in the same breath, i remember what it was like to be where we were only months ago. trying so hard, hoping so much, & terrified that something that comes so effortlessly to so many might be something that we would never get to experience together. to anyone trying, don’t give up. i’m here for you. you’re not alone. ✖️ huge thank you to all of our doctors, nurses, & the medical staff at the Utah Center for Reproductive Medicine at the University of Utah — we couldn’t have done this without you! ✖️
Infertility has changed me. It’s broken me more times than I can count. It stole my hope. It changed my future. It gave me anxiety. But most of all, it forced me to be stronger.

Did I ask to be infertile? No. Do I enjoy being infertile? Fuck no! Do I have a choice? Also no. So all I can do is keep going. Keep pushing forward. Keep doing all I can to bring the baby I see in my dreams into my arms. Oh, and become a warrior along the way.

We've been keeping a little secret... Do you know how hard it was to keep a secret like this?! So hard!!! I can't believe I'm typing this right now because it still doesn't feel quite real!
But I'm so happy to share that...We're PREGNANT!! After a ton of shots, pills, meds, doctors appointments, treatments, and a million prayers, we are finally expecting our MIRACLE BABY! This family of 4 is now becoming a family of 5.
Our journey hasn't been an easy one but I can tell you that our faith has brought us to this moment. I will be opening up and sharing so much of our experience on our inferfility journey on my youtube channel over the next few weeks so make sure you subscribe to get all the juicy details! The first video is already up explaining more! But it's official, Baby AJ is on the way with more embroys ready to be born! Expected arrival January 2020 and we cannot wait!

Everything.⠀
⠀
Finances... When trying grow your family through Infertility and adoption, everything costs money. The average IFV cost is $23,000, according to @fertilityIQ. Fertility treatments are very emotionally draining, then you have to add the financial burden. It can feel impossible.⠀
⠀
For us, the financial burden of our adoptions that fell through were such a burden. It really took a toll on our mental health.⠀
⠀
What on this list can you relate with?
I seriously have NO idea where this has come from, but it now won't go anyway and trust me, I've tried to breathe it in ♀️ I still can't get my head round the fact it's made an appearance this early on
.
I'm now 12+2, the nausea seems to have gone (unless I leave it way too long between eating) and the extreme exhaustion is turning into just feeling a bit tired. I keep seeming to be getting headaches/migraines of an evening though which was rather debilitating last night and ended up with me going to bed at 9pm!
.
We have our NHS 12 week scan tomorrow and the scanxiety has already began. I get so nervous that at any second this bubble we are in could burst. I just desperately want us to get over this first trimester milestone. Once we know everything is OK, we are going to start looking into the costs of different things, take a trip to mothercare (more to have a browse ar carseats etc) and slowly start clearing out our second bedroom aka "the junk room" .
.
None of this still feels real. I'm not quite sure when it will sink in .

We have been through a lot when it comes to our infertility/IVF journey. But what is crazy is we have only technically been through one IVF (now a on our 2nd). It doesn’t matter how long or short your journey is (infertility, financial, relational...whatever it is)...we can all have compassion for other people’s journey. Are you that friend that lends a listening ear?
Our new vlog is live sharing about our entire IVF journey.
Can’t hide my bump or my excitement any longer!

Baby GIRL Jacobs will be here this Christmas.

Jett might be more excited about the balloons right now, but he will come around .
.
.
Never thought I would have two babies in residency but here I am. Nervous about the transition but grateful to be here. .

To anyone struggling to get here, you are not alone. Don’t let an Instagram picture fool you. Everyone’s path is not the same. We all have stories to share. Will share mine soon for those interested. If you want to start a convo , share your journey to pregnancy below!
