The author, not pictured, leans on her husband for support during IVF treatment.
  • Infertility has taken a toll on my husband and me — emotionally, physically, and mentally.
  • My husband, thankfully, has supported me every step of the way during my IVF journey.
  • Throughout this process, I have fallen more in love with him.

Over a year ago, my husband and I learned that we would need to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) to have a biological child.
