So, here is the deal. I’m almost 40, about to embark in the biggest process to conception with the help of science, called 4-cycle IVF, and I’m actually feeling pretty optimistic, even though this is the 6th year of my trying-to-conceive life.

I realize I’ve learned so much and also, I had no idea of how conception really works until I set up to try it myself. This is not an education we get normally. Not in my culture, in my generation, but I’m sure it applies to many other women and certainly men around the globe. Yes, I said men, because this is typically not a one-person plan even though it can be (but then you’d be skipping most of the steps I took first and go directly to the help of science).

I wish I had been writing this blog all along. Now I’ll attempt to reconstruct everything I went through in a series of articles. If you are a person of any age that hopes to be a biological parent at some point in the future, you can learn something from my experience or share yours.

Welcome to this stork’s journey!
