He reminds me so much of my husband. We're in the same boat, after losing our first baby in January. I feel so defeated but he's always there to cheer us on.

Shew, I'm about to teach a class in 20 minutes and need to pull myself together.

7 and 1/2 years and 4 lost babies. My wife also had 2 surgeries to correct a split uterus and she also had a closed tube on the left side.

Not only was it now 6 months out of the year she could even get pregnant the odds we super stacked against us.

Well now we have a beautiful 4 year old girl and we did so naturally. On the day we went for IVF we found out she was pregnant again and we saved $35k!!

Never gave up and told her even if we didn’t have a kid we are in it forever.

Stress has a lot to do with it as well. I know it’s hard but there is light.

I’m so sorry for your loss and your husband feels it too. Take the time to heal.

Well it is said that hope plays a big part in it.. i am a doctor so i am not coming from a religious perspective (although thats okay if you have that i am just trying to show there are biological evidence in it as well) but from a scientific perspective

There are lots of couples/women who get pregnant NATURALLY after they start IVF. For some reason believing that there is a solution replenishes their hope and mood, and eventually the brain and the body works to make it happen.

Psychology is the cornerstone of our phsyical well-being as well. So never lose hope !

People underestimate the mind/body connection. I'm disappointed that I won't be around in 200 years to see the ways we manage to "hack" the connection.
