Founders IVF Story
Hey ladies and gents, Alexandra Glisson here! I have faced infertility struggles since my January 2021 missed miscarriage, double D&C uterus infection. The results? Well I spent a week in the hospital, was unable to walk and nearly septic when admitted.. not to mention a whopping 100k dollars in medical bills. Not only did I lose my baby, but I was left broken: mentally, physically and financially.
Roughly 1 year later and what seemed to be over 4,239 negative pregnancy tests, my new fertility Dr. ordered that I take a Hysterosalpingography (HSG), which quickly confirmed that my fallopian tubes were completely blocked with scar tissue from the 2021 missed miscarriage double D&C uterus infection. Shortly after this news, March of 2022, my husband and I decided to plunge in and turn to IVF for our next pregnancy. January 23, 2023 we had a successful transfer which lead to a 6week miscarriage. At this point I have seen two heart beats, framed the ultrasounds, bought a closet full of newborn to 1 year old baby clothes and have yet to hold my baby.
During this infertility journey I saw a void in products catering to the mindset of women facing infertility struggles, specifically for women embarking on IVF. This sparked a new passion in my soul— I began to write and design a journal, arming women on their IVF journey with IVF trackers (STIMS, egg retrieval), 12-week journal prompts, tools to navigate stress and basically all the tips I wish I knew before embarking on IVF. That is how the IVF Mindfulness Journal was born!
In July of 2023 Alexandra graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN). She believes a healthy mind, body and soul, working in tandem, make up the key ingredients to a healthier IVF journey. Learning what tools work best with your bio-individual body! There is no one-size-fits all, which is the beautiful, yet, hard part of it all.
