Meet Landon and read his mommas story below "We had our daughter in January of 2017. When she turned 1 we decided to try for a sibling. In April we learned th...at we were pregnant and so excited to welcome another January baby. Our first ultrasound at 9 weeks showed that the baby was measuring properly however they could not find a heartbeat. We moved forward with a D&E. Our doctor treated this like it was just a normal occurrence and was extremely uninformative and unprofessional. Another 6 months of trying and I had another positive pregnancy test. I switched doctors and they agreed to send me for blood work early to ensure it was a viable pregnancy. After positive blood work, we found out a short time later we would lose this baby as well. Having 2 back to back losses at the age of 31 our new doctor recommended we see a fertility specialist to look into the reasoning for this. We made an appointment right away and after many blood draws and invasive tests we were diagnosed with "secondary infertility" due to a low ovarian reserve. At this point, we decided to move forward with a medicated cycle. To our surprise we were pregnant after our first cycle however just as before we learned this pregnancy would not last long. Devastated, and terrified to experience another loss we made the decision to move onto IVF so that we could test our embryos and ensure they were genetically normal to give us the best chance at a successful pregnancy. No one prepared me for the emotional roller coaster that comes along with IVF. I always assumed IVF equaled a baby....boy was I wrong. Our first retrieval resulted in zero genetically normal embryos. We moved onto round two which resulted in one genetically normal embryo. We transferred this embryo in December of 2019. After many positive pregnancy tests, our blood test determined we had yet another chemical pregnancy. I couldn't believe after all of this needles, blood draws, monitoring appointments, etc. that this was happening to us again. We weren't ready to give up yet. We went on with retrieval number three. This yielded one genetically normal embryo again. We were scheduled to transfer on March 25th, two weeks after the world shut down because of Covid. Fertility clinics were closing left and right. We were told our transfer was still on however that could change any day. We made it to the 25th and I had to have our embryo transferred at the clinic alone, while my husband waited in the car as they were not allowing anyone besides the patient into the facility. It was so far from the experience I envisioned in my head. Third time was a charm for us and we're expecting our quadruple rainbow in December. The anxiety that comes with pregnancy after loss is almost debilitating. We look forward to each milestone in this pregnancy and cannot wait to be holding our baby boy at the end of the year."
