Evie is here this week to share her story of navigating trying to conceive over a seven year period.

Her story involves;

• The joy of getting pregnant quickly 
• The turmoil of that pregnancy ending in a missed miscarriage 
• A long period of TTC
• Second pregnancy resulting in miscarriage 
• Self referring to Fertility Associates
• Diagnosis of unexplained infertility 
• Ovulation Induction
• IUI
• Her husband getting diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 
• Spontaneous pregnancy resulting in their first child 
• Chemical pregnancy 6 months postpartum 
• FIIX Study
• IVF
• Unsuccessful fresh transfer

Evie's story is one of heartbreak but also one of hope. I know it's not always easy hearing stories of success however I do think it is important that we let ourselves hear these stories to keep our hope alive.
