Yasna's Story: No One Ever Talks About the Struggle of Becoming a Parent

Hi there, my name is Yasna. I am a British born So-Cal girl that loves everything Indian and Hip-Hop. I married my best friend at 24 and quickly succumbed to the lifestyle of being married, working 40 plus hours a week, and fulfilling my daughter-in-law's duties. My husband, Ketan and I knew right away that we wanted to have children. Little did we know that God had other plans for us.

No One Ever Talks About the Struggle of Becoming a Parent

Sometimes, motherhood isn't always as easy as it seems. No one ever talks about the struggle of becoming a parent. Our vision of having a family of our own had been shattered with expensive fertility treatments, mental breakdowns, emotional stress, financial struggles, and many sacrifices. This whole journey has been an experience that we will never forget. We have endured a lot of heartache over the last ten years, but we have come out so much stronger.

We have been through quite an ordeal:

  • twelve IVF cycles

  • two IUI cycles

  • seven different doctors

  • one year out of state

  • thousands of hormone injections

  • four egg retrievals

  • three transfers

  • two pregnancies

  • two miscarriages 

We continue to pray and aspire for our future Rainbow Baby. We know one day we will have our bundle of joy. It has been one bumpy ride, but we are ready for whatever comes our way. We will not give up our dream of becoming parents.
