Eating french fries 🍟 following an embryo transfer or IUI has become a tradition for many seeking to start or grow their families through assisted reproductive practices.
These fries 🍟 represent more than just a way to settle the stomach with something salty and fried, it’s a way to hold onto the hope of a pregnancy taking place.
A sibling or first child for a family, what someone has always hoped and prayed for. It can be grasping and holding on to something so tight that it will stick and work because I/we did “this”.
These fries 🍟 represent so much more.
Time that has passed, financial strain, “this will be it, I know it”.
“It will stick this time.”
If you see someone posting their 🍟 story and experience, know that they are holding onto hope for something amazing and it’s likely been a long journey with many roads and routes to get them there 🍟.
