College sweethearts Diana and Bernie Nasser had their lives perfectly mapped out. They were 27 when they married and hoped to have their first child by age 30 and their second by 32. But reaching those goals was much harder than they ever imagined. Diana eventually visited the Yale Fertility Center in search of answers (and solutions) to the couple’s infertility issues. Over the next four years, during attempts at in vitro fertilization (IVF), she experienced one hurdle after another, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, ovarian torsion, and miscarriage. This video tells Diana and Bernie’s story, and how, with the help of the Yale Fertility Center and reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist Luba Pal, MBBS, MS, they were able to overcome each of those hurdles to achieve their happy ending.

Why not adopt?

[@fxjrulpzxi]

I would love to adopt. But it’s extremely expensive. And it’s downright heartbreaking to realize you can’t have your own baby.

[@lylealee9704]

No everyone wants to adopt, they rather have their own biological kids. It is totally understandable and not selfish at all in my opinion.

[@snezray2324]

Have compassion for people that want biological kids.
