5 ways to succeed while trying to conceive
Infertility is utterly heartbreaking?that is, until you succeed. I went through seven rounds of intrauterine insemination (IUI), four rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF), two miscarriages, two surgeries and countless acupuncture treatments before giving birth to a healthy baby conceived with donor egg and donor sperm.
I often lost hope along the way. I remember one time when I was on FaceTime with my mom and blurted out, through tears, ?Maybe it?s just not meant to be.? ?No,? she replied with absolute certainty. ?You need a baby. We just have to get you a baby!”

How I'm building my family with donor eggs and sperm
 I?m so glad that my mom gave me the encouragement I needed during that time. By surrounding myself with supportive friends and family, exhausting all options and even attempting to crack a smile now and then, I was able to survive the seemingly insufferable and finally take my baby home.
It?s possible to increase your chances of success and become another happy ending. My hope is that these five steps will provide some helpful tips on your path to parenthood.
1. Acknowledge it
Your friends and family mean well, but they say the darndest things, like ?Everything happens for a reason,? ?Have you thought about adoption"...
