In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Samantha, a retired pastry chef turned domestic engineer aka stay at home mom, who faced the challenging journey of infertility despite already being a mother. After a smooth first pregnancy, Samantha and her husband sought to expand their family when their first child turned three.
However, after 22 months of trying, they sought professional help due to difficulties conceiving their second child. Samantha's low AMH levels prompted her to consult a fertility specialist, and she faced additional obstacles like miscarriage and mini polyps. These challenges led her to consider donor eggs as an option.
Samantha also struggled with negative self-talk, questioning whether having one beautiful child should be enough and why she was putting herself and her family through this journey. However, she realized that her love and desire for another child were profound, and she couldn't be truly content without giving it her all. Knowing she wasn't alone in her experiences brought her comfort and reassurance.
Samantha also generously shared her personal experience in selecting a donor.
“I wanted to know about her personality. One thing that she (the donor) wrote about in her questionnaire was when she was in a car driving, she's more likely to be listening to a podcast than to music. Yeah. And I don't know what it was about that, but just that phrase, that sentence, I thought, that's me. I listened to podcasts in the car instead of music. And there's this mundane detail, but it's something that we share and that just kind of pushed it over the edge”
It served as a tangible connection, a small but significant sign of similarity that pushed her decision forward.
Join us in this episode as Samantha shares her emotional journey, offering valuable insights and inspiration to others facing similar struggles.
