EP 189: Twin Loss After IVF: Stephanie's Story

After nearly three years of infertility, two failed IUIs, and a successful IVF transfer, Stephanie finally became pregnant. What she didn't expect was that one embryo would split, leading to a twin pregnancy and a journey that would forever change her life. In this episode of Finding Hope After Loss, Stephanie shares her experience with infertility, IVF, twin loss, NICU life, and parenting after loss. She opens up about the heartbreaking decisions her family faced, the challenges of balancing grief while caring for her surviving son, and how loss continues to shape her motherhood journey. We also discuss coping with grief, mental health after infant loss, navigating loss and grief while parenting, finding support after tragedy, and the unique experience of loving a child in your arms while mourning the child who should be beside them. If you are navigating infertility, infant loss, twin loss, parenting after loss, or searching for hope while living with grief, this conversation offers an honest reminder that you are not alone.
