I’m Victoria, a mom through egg donation and founder of Infertility Unfiltered.
On this blog, I share the real, unfiltered truths of infertility, genetic grief, and all the joy and love this journey to motherhood has brought me.

Infertility changes everything - your plans, your relationships, and your sense of self. I started Infertility Unfiltered because I lived it. I wanted to give people what I never had: a safe space to talk, evidence-based guidance from trusted experts, and a community that gets it.

I went through the donor conception process all alone, and it’s my mission to make sure that never happens to anyone else. I have created resources that connect you to experts in the industry, voices from donor conceived people, recipient parents, and a community of the best damn people in the trenches with you, you will ever meet. I am here to help you navigate your own path with clarity and confidence, whatever that looks like.

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.
