Stephanie's Story: From Personal Struggle to Public Triumph
Stephanie's journey into motherhood was far from easy. Battling with a diagnosis of diminished ovarian reserve, she faced the fear of being the barrier to starting a family with her loving husband. Despite the trials, Stephanie's resilience shone brightly. With the help of Dr. Jennifer Hirshfeld-Cytron and Fertility Centers of Illinois, she courageously underwent three IUIs before turning to IVF - a decision that changed their lives forever. 🍼💕 She welcomed a baby boy in May 2020. While planning their next IVF journey, Stephanie and her husband were thrilled to find out that she was pregnant again, this time without any fertility treatments, with another baby boy who was born in September 2021. But Stephanie's story didn't end with the joy of becoming a mother; it sparked a fierce passion for advocacy.

Erin's Story: Cupcakes Everywhere
From the depths of challenge to the heights of inspiration, @erinsarriswrites has transformed her infertility journey into a source of inspiration with her children's book, Cupcakes Everywhere. 🧁 After facing infertility hurdles, Erin and her husband’s path was anything but easy. They began their path to parenthood in Las Vegas and eventually moved to Illinois and started treatment under the care of Dr. Brian Kaplan. With determination and the magic of IVF, they welcomed twin girls – her two little cupcakes baked in a “special bakery” (aka Fertility Centers of Illinois)! Then, a little over a year later, she welcomed another miracle baby, this time a “home baked cupcake” which was a surprise given what she had gone through to become a mom the first time around. Erin’s experience inspired her to write a story that brings hope and understanding to infertility warriors everywhere who struggle with something that may seem to come easy to others. This National Infertility Awareness Week, Erin’s story serves as a reminder that you are not alone! 🧡 🧡 🧡 🧡 Join us in celebrating Erin’s incredible journey and the sweet surprise of cupcakes that made it all worth it.
