There it was—a super cute, fun, Facebook post from our friend Claire, announcing how “blessed” she was to be pregnant. We both wanted to vomit right on top of our phones. The two of us—sisters Lauren and Lacey—had been trying to get pregnant for years without success.

And thus began our story of IVF (in vitro fertilization), hormones, miscarriage, periods missed, egg harvesting, a shared surrogate, miracles, and—wait for it, we did, for far too long—motherhood.
