And the photographer Steve Martine had so kindly gifted these photos to my family, so they deserve to be seen 💜 #miscarriage #ivf

Need pre-dinner fries too ❤️

#GoodnitesPartner These are the campaigns I want to see more of in the world! I remember the point in training a few months before my first spaceflight where I had to “field test” my first absorption garment 😅 @Goodnites Brand #MissionDry is reminding kids that bedwetting is more common than people think—and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Even astronauts need a little backup sometimes! Tagging in my crewmate @shawnapandya and my friend @The Space Gal, do you have a story of a time you had to use your absorbent garment?

I have no regrets about sharing so early, but I would do anything to go back to the joy of this day 🤍 #ivf #miscarriage

UPDATE: had a really helpful call with Alto today and am grateful to learn that they do have a process and standard of care for ALL patients who experienced mistakes or delays with orders to submit for reimbursement or credits for the potential cost difference of emergency meds at a pharmacy. It was an honest mistake that that wasn’t communicated upfront 🫶

Truly the most “trust the process” stage imaginable. #ivf

No bottled up emotions here. Instead I feel surrounded by love & support and unburdened by not having to pretend to be perfectly fine in all aspects of my personal and professional life where I still have to show up every day. 💜 #ivf #miscarriage

It’s not that hard 💖💜

“Where’s Delta? 🤨” every single time lol. There are worse fates than not having a keychain name (Love, Kellie with an “ie” 💕)

My IVF journey has been the most emotionally, physically and spiritually draining chapter of my life…. But I’ve also never been more certain about the vision board I have for my life. Gearing up for another retrieval cycle next month…. And forever optimistic. 🤍 #ivf

Thank you for being here 🤍 #ivf

Love you @Amanda Nguyen - what a day

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for seeing me, showing up for me, and staying with me through the highs and the lows 💜 This nomination from @The Webby Awards is a testament to the power of women supporting women.

Preparing myself for the same steep attrition that left us with only one embryo last time, but feeling SO hopeful all the same 🤍🥹

Tomorrow I’ll find out how many fertilized, and next week I’ll find out how many made it to blastocyst. 🤍

🤍🤍🤍

This is my way of sharing that I’m doing another egg retrieval cycle next month…🤞💸 #ivf

let me have this one thing ✨

An unbelievable ceremony alongside so many inspiring women, and such a special moment to share with my family. 🥹 Delta asked me to send photos to her teacher because she was proud … so thank you to @USA TODAY for the immense honor and priceless memory with my family. After receiving praise for my transparency around my IVF journey and pregnancy, I felt compelled to share in my acceptance speech that I am still actively miscarrying. Life feels very hard and heavy right now. More and more, radical candor feels like a form of both armor and comfort. I can’t change my circumstances but at least I can accept comfort & love as they’re offered and refuse to feel shame. 🤍

Ready to cheer on my bestie civil rights legend @Amanda Nguyen and watch her dreams come true
