The Silent Side Effects No one prepares you for the way fertility medications change you not just physically, but emotionally.

The bruises on your stomach from countless injections.
The bloating that makes you feel like a stranger in your own skin.
The weight gain you can’t control, no matter how much you try.

And it isn’t just the physical toll.
It’s the emotional rollercoaster no one talks about.
The mood swings that make you feel unstable.
The tears you cry in silence because it feels like your body is betraying you.
The constant question, “how much more of myself do I have to give up for this?”

Fertility treatments aren’t just about science, medicine, and protocols.
They’re about sacrifice.
Piece after piece of yourself given away in hope.
Hope that this round will be the one.
Hope that all the pain and side effects will finally lead to a miracle.

But the hardest part?
Even after everything, sometimes, it still doesn’t work.
And you’re left holding the bruises, the weight gain, the emotional scars…
and wondering how much more you can endure.

This is the side of fertility treatments people rarely see.
And it deserves to be talked about.

TESTIMONIAL FROM A CLIENT!

“I had such a wonderful experience with Ashley!

What I thought would be a low-risk pregnancy with my 3rd baby turned into a high-risk pregnancy whirlwind, which led to me having to give birth in a hospital. Also, with my diagnosis of ITP (extremely low platelets) came the inability to have an epidural if needed, as well as needing to be intubated during a C-section if it came to that. With my undiagnosed postpartum depression and anxiety with my first healthy baby, and PTSD from severe blood loss after the loss of our first baby early in pregnancy, I knew I needed support at my birth.

Ashley did an incredible job supporting me during my pregnancy, especially when it came to pesky side effects of the medication I had to be on. I felt such peace after every interaction I had with her, and I was reassured, which allowed me to feel confident and excited about my upcoming birth (something I hadn’t felt before I hired Ashley). When it came time for labor and birth, I can't even express in words how incredible and intuitive she was at every one of my contractions. Because I was at such a level of peace with her presence and quiet strength, I was able to allow my body to progress at a more efficient rate than I ever thought possible!

Now that my once newborn baby girl is a year old, I can confidently say that I have had no hint of postpartum depression or anxiety despite the complicated and high-risk pregnancy and birth. The birth of my third baby far exceeded every one of my hopes and desires, and her birth story is my favorite to share with people. My postpartum period was the easiest one I have had, thanks to Ashley’s support through it all. It was, hands down, the most incredible and empowering birth I have had out of all three of my children - all of which I owe to Ashley! I wish she were there for my miscarriage and first 2 births, and I can confidently say I will hire her for any future pregnancies!”
