Making A Miracle
Written by Juliette Lindeman, Guest Blogger A little over seven years ago I began a journey. A depressing, heart wrenching journey that ultimately led to one of the greatest days of my life. In my early twenties I had no thought of infertility. I figured that when I wanted to start a family, I would. It would be easy, I had seen my friends and family do it without issues.…

By Lindsey Taylor, Guest Blogger Sometimes, it would be so much easier to just give up. Give up everything you have worked for. For some people months and years. All of the doctor’s appointments, and ultra sounds, the monthly medications, the daily meditations, a roller coaster of emotions. The daily self-work, the constant self-talks. Acupuncture, exercise, all of it. It would be so easy to quit fighting, to give up…

Written by Starlyn Cafferata, Guest Blogger There are so many moments in my infertility journey that stand out to me, whether they are good or bad. My biggest feeling throughout my journey was that I felt “less than” because of my diagnoses and because it was “my fault”. Not a single person ever made me feel that way or blamed me, except myself. I often would spend time thinking about…

Written by Karina Knight, Guest Blogger I have always looked back and wondered if I could’ve done anything differently to improve the chances of having a successful pregnancy. What did I do wrong? Maybe I shouldn’t have had that extra cup of coffee? Guilt, pain and unbearable sadness is what best describes the moment they told us “there is no heartbeat” when we arrived at the ER immediately after my…

Written by Alexis Kiely, Guest Blogger My road to parenthood started in 2013. My husband and I had been married for a year, I was 33 and he was 34. We had just gotten back from a beautiful vacation in Europe and had decided (as the planners we are), that next on our list would be having the kid that we had both always wanted. In our inexperienced minds, that…

Education and information is so important, especially the world of infertility. The more we know about our bodies and how they work, the better chance we have of conceiving. Mira was created to help with just that. What prompted you to create Mira? Was it experience with infertility or something else? I believe women need to have more education and control over their own health. Right now, information is generally…

Written by Jessica Di Bella, Guest Blogger We started dating when we were only teenagers back in 2005— dreaming together what our wedding day would be like, how we would build a life together and of course, what our future babies would be like. The value of family and wanting to create one of our own one day, has always been a common value we treasured about one another. By…
Infertility Uncovered

Written by Elena Ridley, Guest Blogger Ah infertility, it was a word I was not super familiar with until my husband and I started trying for babies several years ago. Never ever in my life had I considered I would be affected by infertility. No one in my family struggled with it, I had normal cycles and had never had any issues in the past, but once we began trying…

Written by Lindsey Lederer, Guest Blogger It’s true what they say – so much can change in a year. One year ago today I was two days away from my embryo transfer and I was full of hope, but my heart was guarded. I had been on this road before and both times I hit roadblocks. This time felt different. I had a different protocol and a different mindset. I…
