Approximately one in every five couples will, at some time in their lives, experience difficulties conceiving.\n

For many, it\u2019s an extremely difficult and stressful time \u2013 but, as others will testify, patience and determination may pay off.\n

Desiree and Ryan Fortin waited patiently for many years before, eventually, the couple turned to in-vitro fertilization. They prayed to God that it would help them get pregnant.\n

Not long after the IVF treatment, they finally got the message that Desiree was pregnant. But the couple could never prepare for what was in her stomach \u2026\n

$\"\"$ \n

College sweethearts Desiree and Ryan Fortin have been happily married since 2009, but there was one thing that didn\u2019t really work \u2013 for a long time they had struggled to conceive.\n

Doctors diagnosed Desiree with polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothyroid, and low progesterone \u2013 so she and her husband tried for three long and painful years before finally turning to in-vitro fertilization.\n

But instead of getting positive pregnancy tests, Desiree got her period over and over again. It was a mentally draining endeavor.\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t just that I couldn\u2019t get pregnant,\u201d she wrote of those difficult years.\n
