Here’s to hoping. 🤞✨

Imagine spending your one precious life on this planet leaving nasty comments to strangers. (Also, I did try to prioritize starting a family in my 20s… 7 years of secondary infertility later, I’m at the end of my IVF journey and days away from transferring my one & only healthy embryo. So either wish me well or keep scrolling.)

I’m so lucky to have this crew and these friendships. And I’m so grateful our daughters know that femininity or fun doesn’t undermine credibility or professionalism. 🫶💖

And I WILL NOT GET SICK 😮‍💨🙏🏼

Time for my annual check-in with my younger self 🥹💖 The vision I had for my 20s never came true… it turns out it was all meant for my late 30s instead. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for my 40s.

Find someone who understands. ❤️ #ivf #marriage

Completely shocked and horrified and sorry to have to share this update after the miraculous joy of the past 8 weeks. My heart is shattered. 🤍 #ivf

Oh Delta!! 🥹 The best part, by far, is seeing my girl so excited to have a sibling. And to finally be able to give her one. 🫶 #ivf

he was invited, he just had a work trip 🤣❤️ #disneycruise #disneytreasure #hostedbyDisney @Disney Parks

All’s well that ends well! 🤣🏴‍☠️❤️☠️ #disneycruise #familycruise @Disney Parks

6 week ultrasound this weekend to confirm space baby is really there…. 🤞🪐 #ivf

Always in the picture! Just more of an offline kind of guy 😅📸

Replying to @Laura right?? I listened to it 50 times with my jaw dropped

Instructions unclear. 🥲❤️ #ivf

But here we are, somewhat miraculously, after seven years of secondary infertility, filled with hope that this one single healthy embryo continues to defy the odds. 🤍 #ivf

I’ll get a call in a few hours with the initial results, but even if the hcg concentration is over 50 (which would be GREAT news!!) I would not be in the clear. The most important test would still be to come — I’d need to be back in 48 hours Monday to test again and confirm that number doubled. If it did not double or it’s less than the baseline, I would likely be looking at a chemical pregnancy, which is a cruel & unique kind of devastation. Because of those stakes / sensitivity / uncertainty, I hope you can understand that I have to wait until after Monday night to share the definitive update on my bloodwork. I need the next 48 hours of private time to either grieve or process or confirm or celebrate and to communicate with my family. Regardless of the outcome, I’ll share the specifics Tuesday and remain so grateful to know that there are so many kind people who will be there to either share in my joy or to lift me up in my sorrow. It means the world. ❤️ #ivf

Thanks for all the love & sorry to leave you on a cliffhanger ❤️ @kelliegerardi on IG

I did not sleep at all the night before my first beta hcg (or the second).. Please let this baby stick! 🤞🥲 #ivf

So much more to say, but for now, from the very bottom of my heart, thank you 🤍 #ivf

Modern motherhood… and all the things I was made for 🥹🫶✨ #ivf
