Joanie Santander noticed how everyone around her was having a “Trikafta baby,” and she felt left out. Trikafta didn’t seem to be the key in her fertility journey.
In fact, it took a lot more than just Trikafta for Joanie to get pregnant: five years and countless shots, an endometriosis surgery, a hysterosalpingography (an X-ray test of the uterus and fallopian tubes), multiple losses, and more.
Now, Joanie is so grateful to finally be carrying her Trikafta baby. She’s halfway through her pregnancy:
“Every day I’m amazed that this is really happening, that the baby is healthy and hopefully happy, and that this body covered in scars and imperfections is the one carrying my baby.”
Joanie we wish you nothing but good health!
