Trying to Conceive (RAW & EMOTIONAL)| Our TTC Story | National Infertility Awareness Week

In today's video we're talking about our trying to conceive journey. As part of National Infertility Awareness Week 2020, we have decided to tell our TTC story. Trying for a baby and not conceiving has been something we've been going through for over 4 years and have kept our journey off YouTube to process privately. But, after taking pregnancy test after pregnancy test, we've decided to share our TTC journey now alongside national infertility awareness week because we want to open the conversation of infertility up and shine light on something that a lot of couples struggle with. 1 in 8 couples go through fertility struggles at some point in their lives. However, the social rhetoric surrounding infertility is not inviting and welcoming of open conversations. Especially if you are a young couple like we are, trying to conceive in your 20s and facing infertility in your 20s can be very difficult to come to terms with. There can be added pressure from social norms and expectations that can make TTC and trying to get pregnant really difficult. We've definitely felt this pressure. So we made this video to share our personal experience of what it is like to have infertility and hopefully shed light on TTC and infertility.

We will be making trying to conceive vlogs going forward so you can follow our journey to pregnancy and building a family.
