I can’t believe I can finally say “I’m pregnant!” After 5 years of trying, 5 failed IVF cycles my husband and I went with a donor. Our faith carried us through the ups and downs and our belief in God gave us the courage to know the impossible was possible through Him. . I share my story not because I think it’s unique, but because I think it’s something we don’t talk about. I want to inspire women to start speaking out about their fertility challenges. Lets encourage these conversations, so we can build awareness and advocate for each other and future generations of women. .

People often ask me, how did I make the leap to choose egg donation as my path to parenthood. Full disclosure: it was incredibly hard for me. Not only was I extremely attached to my genetics, but I felt like my identity as a women and mother were being threatened. I felt like the baby would feel more like my husbands, than mine. I felt jealousy towards the egg donor. And the list goes on. I was sad, angry, and truthfully, I wanted no part of it. Now, sitting here today with my beautiful, healthy 3-year-old boy, I could never imagine life without him. Although my fears were valid, none of them came to fruition. My son is my son and he may not have my genetics but I am his mother without a shadow of a doubt. We openly talk about our story. He loves asking questions about “the egg lady” and how he grew in mommy’s belly. I’m so grateful that I chose egg donation to build my family and I’m grateful for @DonorEggBankUSA and all that they do, especially during #NIAW2023. They are making happy families every day. I would do it again in a heartbeat! #ad #NIAW #voicesofinfertility #FindYourVoice #SpeakUpSpeakOut #infertilityhope #iwantababy #ivf #infertility #donoreggivfcycle #infertilitywarriors #frozeneggs #infertilitysucks #lovemakesafamily #donoreggmom #donorconception #embryotransfer #fertility #fertilitytreatment #donoreggivf #donoreggsivf #infertilityjourney #eggdonorivf #ivfwarriors #ivfsupport #infertilityawareness #donoreggmama #donoreggs

Keep Your Head = Stay Calm My mantra as we move into week 3 of filming. It’s been so challenging to be away from my family for this long. The hours and commitment this project demands is new to me, but in the end I know we are making something special and I can’t wait for you all to see it. 📷 @hlheadshots #Drowningthemovie #indiefilmmaking #indie #movie #film #shreveport
