Tanniguar & Corey's Story:

There was a time when having children felt like an impossible dream for us. After countless rounds of timed intercourse, medications, lab work—you name it—nothing seemed to work. I started to believe that motherhood just wasn’t in the cards for me, and that we might never experience the deep, unconditional love that so many others spoke of.

Then I started seeing multiple ads for CNY Fertility, and for the first time in a long while, I felt a spark of hope.

That hope turned into action when we scheduled a consultation and began our IVF journey with them — and it wasn’t easy. We went through two full cycles of IVF, each one filled with its own challenges and emotions. But we were blessed to work with an incredible team that supported us every step of the way.

And finally, after years of trying, praying, and holding on to even the smallest bit of faith, our dream came true.

Two little blessings.

Favorite Team Member at CNY:

Tamara Partipilo made one of my visits incredibly calm and comforting. She patiently answered every single question I had, even when I was feeling really overwhelmed.

Helpful resources Tanniguar & Corey found:

During my journey, journaling was one of the most helpful resources I found. Putting my thoughts and feelings on paper gave me a sense of release and clarity when everything felt overwhelming. It became a safe space to process emotions and stay grounded through the ups and downs.

The Moment:

The day I found out I was pregnant was one of the happiest moments of my life. I felt overwhelming joy, disbelief, and gratitude all at once. And then came the news that we were expecting twins. It felt like every prayer, every tear, and every ounce of hope we held onto had led us to this moment.

Hope, Inspiration and Advice:

To anyone still walking this path: don’t lose hope. I know how heavy the waiting can feel. I know the heartbreak of negative tests, the pain of not knowing what comes next, and the fear of another failed cycle. But I also know that miracles can and do happen. Keep going. Keep believing. Your story is still unfolding, and your miracle may be closer than you think.

If I could offer any advice to someone just starting their TTC journey, it would be this:

Be kind to yourself. This journey can be emotionally and physically draining. Don’t be afraid to rest, to cry, to step back when needed. Ask questions. Advocate for yourself and your body. Every journey is different, and your voice matters. Don’t compare your story to someone else’s. Your timeline is unique.

And most of all, hold onto hope. Even when it feels distant. Especially when it feels distant.
