Emily & Alan's Story:
My husband and I are college sweethearts. We got married three years after graduation and quickly began trying to grow our family. After a year of trying, I was diagnosed with PCOS and we started medicated cycles. After six rounds with no success, we moved on to IUIs — and after three unsuccessful attempts, we knew we needed to take a break due to financial hardship.
Two years later, we felt a deep sense of peace that IVF was our best next step. The price tag, however, was daunting. A friend mentioned CNY, and our lives have been forever changed. We began our first round in April 2024 and transferred our miracle boy in May 2024. Our sweet son was born in January 2025, and we haven't been the same since. We are incredibly grateful to CNY for helping us grow our family.
The Moment:
The moment I got the call about my HCG levels was actually a little anticlimactic — but there was a silver lining. My husband wasn't home when I received the news, which meant I got to surprise him when he arrived. Anyone who has gone through fertility treatment knows how easily those special moments can feel stolen from you, so I was truly glad things unfolded the way they did.
Hope, Inspiration and Advice:
You are making the best decision for you. There are so many different paths to growing a family, and what matters most is that you feel confident and at peace with the one you choose.
