Congratulations to Michelsha and Her Family

🌱✨ Congratulations to Michelsha and Her Family

As a therapist specializing in infertility, I have the honor of witnessing the resilience it takes to keep showing up—through procedures, uncertainty, and the quiet weight of waiting.

Today, we pause to celebrate a story of strength.

💛 Michelsha, your journey has been one of extraordinary courage. After battling infertility and facing the emotional toll that so often accompanies it, you found hope in the IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) process—and today, we joyfully celebrate the arrival of your beautiful twins.

🧠 The Emotional Landscape of IUI
IUI is one of the most commonly recommended fertility treatments, especially for those with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or cervical issues. But what often doesn’t get talked about is the mental health journey that goes with it.

Even when the science is clear, the emotions can feel anything but.
Each cycle comes with a mix of hope and fear.
The two-week wait can feel longer than any calendar can measure.
The ups and downs aren’t just physical—they live in your thoughts, your body, your relationships.

💬 What helped Michelsha and her family was not only medical treatment—but support, self-compassion, patience and a space to FEEL her way through the anxiety that comes with trying to conceive.

Research shows that chronic stress can impact hormone regulation, and that integrating mental health care during fertility treatment can improve outcomes and emotional wellbeing.

A study in Fertility & Sterility found that women who participated in mind-body therapy alongside IUI had significantly higher pregnancy rates and lower stress.

✨ If you’re on this journey, take this as a reminder:

• You don’t have to be positive all the time to be strong.

• You deserve support that sees you, not just your labs or test results.

• And yes, even if the path isn’t what you expected, healing is still possible.

To Michelsha: your story gives others permission to believe that hope isn’t naive—it’s necessary. 🕊️
