On February 25th, I received the phone call that no one ever wants to get - “I’m so sorry Julia, that lump in your breast is cancerous”. At age 29, 4 months before our wedding, 5 months before we wanted to try to conceive, we found out I will be going through chemotherapy instead. Immediately I was thinking about my fertility and how chemo might affect our chances of having a baby.
Fertility struggles by choice. That’s our story. As I began a relationship with a man with a vasectomy I knew my journey to motherhood would look different. Yet I chose it.
We are forever grateful to the team at the Kelowna and Vancouver Olive Fertility Clinics for making our dream of becoming parents a reality. After five years of being unable to conceive naturally we went to Olive Fertility to start our IVF journey.
