Their first attempt was at home, using a Mosie Kit—a more affordable route that felt right at the time. But it didn’t take. “We were both bummed and trying to figure out if we should try again at home or go the medical route.”

Eventually, they chose to work with a fertility specialist, Dr. Wendy Shelly, who provided them with care that was both realistic and optimistic. For Cecilia, the support she received was deeply affirming. “I was worried about my weight being a factor, but Dr. Shelly never made me feel ashamed. She made me feel safe.”
