We are #1in6. I remember when I was struggling with getting pregnant how tired I was of the “just stop stressing about it” or “maybe just stop thinking about it”advice I would get.
Our journey to parenthood still feels surreal. Infertility is a rollercoaster that you don’t want to be on, taking you slowly up each hill and barreling you down, only to climb another. Initially when my husband and I started trying to grow our family, we “didn’t stress” (which ended up being the most common and unwelcome piece of advice offered by well-meaning friends). When we didn’t get pregnant after a few months of trying, I tried not to worry even though I was desperately afraid that something was wrong.
#1in6 - My husband and I had been trying to start a family since 2014. After a year with no success we were referred to Olive. We started out with all the usual testing and everything came back clear.
