I never imagined I would be on this journey. After nine months of trying, I have faced two heartbreaking recurring miscarriages this year. Each loss has brought a wave of grief and uncertainty, and now I am just beginning lab testing to understand why I can't remain pregnant. The emotional roller-coaster has affected not only me, but also my husband and daughter, as we try to make sense of this new reality.

The financial strain is overwhelming. I have urgent care bills from the sudden miscarriages, and the lab tests are just beginning. As someone who works a physically demanding job without regular breaks, I am the main income earner for my family. Taking time off for appointments has led to lost income, and the prospect of a high-risk pregnancy means even more medical visits, tests, and time away from work. With my age and history of a premature birth, the uncertainty about what lies ahead is daunting.

This is a battle my family and I are fighting together. I pray every month for the chance to be pregnant again, and now I am facing the challenge of understanding why I can't keep my pregnancies. The mental fatigue and emotional toll have disrupted our lives, and I fear the road ahead will be more extensive than we ever imagined. I am deeply grateful for any support as we navigate this journey and try to give our daughter a sibling.
