"IVF to Baby Hackett is officially kicking off 🎉

After almost 3 years TTC
many medicated cycles
getting diagnosed with
1 ectopic pregnancy from IUI 1
2 failed IUI’s
…we have decided our next step is IVF 🙏🏼

We had our first appointment this week for pre-ivf labs and procedures, went over our timeline, received 2 huge packets of consent to sign our life away with, and order meds…soo many meds 🤯 We now wait for the egg retrieval cycle to start in February!

There is still A LOT of unknown ahead, IVF has no guarantee for a baby. However, We are clinging to hope over fear and trusting the Lord’s plan for us. This whole time we thought we’d never be able to do IVF because of cost. God has showed up and made it very clear to us this is our next step and He’s been paving the way ever since 🙌🏻

We are so grateful for this opportunity- nervous, happy, excited, and ready as we ever will be!

I’ll try my best to update as we go through this process for all of you who have been praying and cheering us on since we looped you in. For those who pray, encourage, love, and support us - Thank you❤️ your hearts mean the world to us.

Lord willing, IVF will lead us to a baby 🙏🏼

LETS DO THIS! 💉🤰🏻🌈👶🏽🤍✨

Ps - I’ve already been blowing up IVF sisters with all the questions, but if you have any tips for us we’d love to hear all we can get!"

The strength of the women in this community amazes us every single day.

A conversation we don't have enough. Black women are twice as likely to deal with infertility, but half as likely to seek or receive treatment. There's a long list of reasons for this from lack of representation, harmful stigmas, to discriminatory practices in healthcare, to lack of access, but what we can do is encourage communities where all are welcome and everyone is heard.
