infertility can really suck.

After keeping it a secret for many years, I finally "came out" with my disease in 2015 - infertility, endometriosis and premature ovarian failure. Much of what you find online about family building via egg donation isn’t based on personal experience. There’s so much unnecessary fear being created by people who haven’t actually lived it.

That’s where I come in!

I’m here to help you find your way to or through the path of donor conception with unconditional support. I want you to see the joy and the love. The beauty and the normalcy that I feel my family represents. If you can see it, you can be it. Right?

Thus, I've created this site for YOU, to make you laugh, remind you that you CAN DO THIS, and to offer resources and support to help you keep fighting like the champion that you are!

DONOR EGGS CHANGED MY LIFE

After 8 years of infertility and 5 years of fertility treatments, in 2017, I finally got pregnant with the help of an egg donor and it was the absolute BEST thing that ever happened to me. FINALLY… the baby that was always meant for me, genetics not required. My beautiful, magical girl, Florence.

But, my journey didn’t end there.

I so desperately wanted another baby - a sibling for the love of my life. We had two embryos left from our egg donor, and unfortunately they didn’t take, so I made the very hard decision to start all over with a new egg donor. Thank GOD I did. I got pregnant with my son in 2022, and in 2023 he arrived and everything made sense. All the pain and suffering led me right here.

My children are the place my life begins and ends. The first time our eyes met - I knew I had loved these babies many moons ago, for thousands of years, in previous lives, on another planet, forever and ever ago. You can’t screw up what’s meant for you, that’s just how the universe works.

They were always for me and me for them.

In my ebook "Why I'm Glad My Eggs Didn't Work" I honor the pain and the beauty of infertility, and provide a source of hope for those looking to carry on this magical path to parenthood. It’s a book beyond clinical trials, data and research. It's a personal story about rising above your broken eggs and finding purpose and joy. It’s a place to find comfort in knowing you are truly seen and heard, and a sense of relief that it’s all going to be okay.

LIKE MANY WOMEN WHO ARE FACED WITH THE IDEA OF CONCEIVING VIA DONOR EGGS, WHAT WE NEED MOST IS HOPE.

The Ultimate IVF App to Help You Stay Sane While Managing the IVF Process

I vividly remember my very first IVF cycle. The doctor sent me home with a stack of papers with protocols and lists of medications I needed to take with dates and times of when I’d needed to take them. Some were oral pills, some vaginal suppositories, some intramuscular injections, and some in the tummy.

12 Things I Get to Have, Thanks to Donor Eggs

I can’t tell you how long I used to focus on the things I didn’t get to have by pursuing donor eggs to conceive. From the moment my doctor suggested we think about it, my mind was all-consumed every second of every day with all the things I was losing - a DNA connection with my babies, an easy route to pregnancy, an easy story to tell, time, energy, a shit ton of money, etc.
