“When the process gets difficult–due to being uncomfortable from my ovaries being so full, when I have to pass on a night out with friends or give myself another shot–I think about that feeling of joy and every part of the experience is worth it. I remind myself that at the end of the day, it’s only a few weeks to a few months where my life is ever so slightly different and that I’m helping someone’s dream of a family come true.”
