My daughter is 2.5 years old and my husband and I have been trying to expand our family for the last several months. I had a chemical pregnancy in July and am currently experiencing another miscarriage a little further along. I came to your blog because I needed to hear words from another strong woman. Thank you for opening up and being so vulnerable. You don’t know how much you are helping women to not feel alone.

I just found out about Tone It Up this week and saw the Sports Illustrated blurb about your journey. I feel joyful and encouraged to be able to pray for the steps ahead of you and your family.

Your an inspiration, I hate that I connect with you on this level, but we struggle and try to make since of it. People who have or are also going through this help us understand and not so alone. I too had a miscarriage, back in 2018, and we have been trying on our own ever since. In the beginning of 2021, we began working with our fertility clinic. First try of ovulation meds and I got pregnant, however it ended up being an ectopic pregnancy. My doctor did not want the egg to rupture my tube so I had to terminate it. I had a methotrexate injection to clear it out. Now we are on pause for 3 months before we can try again. I’m 35 and have no kids yet. My life dream is to be a mom. Any advice.

hi! i just have to tell you, you have been a lifeline to me over the past year and a half. My husband and I started trying in April of 2020 with the highest hopes, each month that time of the month felt harder and heavier. I have felt the decide to take the test, then get the period frustration. The OMG I am late this month, take a test, only to read negative…again. It has been an incredibly challenging experience for me, and one that I have not felt comfortable sharing with my audience. I admire and respect your open heart during such a personal and heart breaking journey. We just underwent our first round of IUI and it is such a mindf***, excitement, fear, anxiety, all bagged up into one big pocketful of fun. Thank you Katrina for providing me a safe space of understanding, every time I read a post of yours I think, EXACTLY. So, I hope you know what a positive impact you are making on so many of us, and me especially. So grateful for what you’ve provided to me without even realizing it – here’s to good things coming our way.

Hi Katrina,

I am so sorry for your losses. I have a daughter a few months younger than your beautiful Isabelle, and I too suffered two miscarriages in 2020. Back to back. I pray for you to get your rainbow baby that you so deserve. You are not alone and I thank you for being open with this part of your life because you touched mine and I know you did with so many others as well. Love, a fellow beach girl

No words can describe the pain of this type of loss, but your words spoke to me. It’s a lonely ache that can’t be explained, and isn’t talked about enough. Thank you for talking about your losses and being open. I can imagine that every response is another reminder. But I hope it’s also a reminder that you are not alone. None of us are alone in this big world. When grief takes over and I can’t help but be sad for myself or the baby I didn’t get to hold, I cry for me and everyone else in the world suffering this loss, or any other painful loss. I am working to absorb my experience into my being and let God (or the universe) teach me to be understanding, open, empathetic, and sensitive. It feels like nothing good can be made from such pain, but this small connection is something good. We are stronger together. Sending you love and hugs.

Hi Katrina!

This journal resonated with me. I cannot imagine how hard it was to share this personal experience you and your husband have been going through. I can relate in the constant trying and waiting. The emotions are truly a ride. I am with you there 100%. My husband and I have been trying for almost 3 years. We unfortunately haven’t been pregnant once. Finally, we are trying to explore some other options. Last March when I was sad on many levels I stumbled upon TIU. I felt as though if I can gain control of my health in mind,body, and spirit-maybe that can help with my own healing process. The community that TIU is- means a lot. Beautiful minds and people who have so much to teach and offer in support. I don’t personally know anyone, but I sure feel like I do. As I would any friend. You’re experience of infertility hurts my heart and I am also choosing hope for you!
