Hello!
My name is Rhea.
Pronounced Ree-uh… because everyone asks.
I am here because infertility has changed my life.
There is simply no other way to put it.
Having a family has been one of my biggest desires throughout my entire life. Raising children has been my dream for as long as I can remember.
It’s a dream my husband and I have shared since we first met.
For many, many years I thought getting pregnant was easy. I never really knew anyone who struggled with trying to conceive and had only heard of pregnancy loss in a few isolated circumstances.
For some, getting pregnant happens by accident or on the first try.
This is not us.
