MEET KELLY
I am a seven-time IVF survivor and at the age of 52, I had my one and only live birth, a beautiful precious girl.
From the time I can remember, I wanted to be a mommy. My plan was to complete my studies, marry in my twenties and have children in my thirties. Like many young women, I wanted to meet Mr. Right first and go through all life’s stages just like everyone around me. That was not my fate. I met Mr. Right later in life and got married at the age of 38. That’s when my long fertility journey began.
My 13-year struggle with infertility included seven IVF cycles, six IUI’s, guidance via multiple natural cycles, countless alternative treatments, numerous miscarriages, spread over five fertility specialists on two continents. We also went through the adoption process. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do. In 2016, we were blessed with a miracle at the end of our long journey. I am an infertility survivor!
