Marissa and her husband, Andrew, started trying for a baby in 2107. Due to unexplained infertility, they spent years trying and waiting. After undergoing 1 surgery, 4 medicated IUIs, 1 IVF cycle, and 2 frozen embryo transfers, they were blessed with their miracle girl.

Marissa looks forward to participating in KC Infertility. It is an organization that was there for her during the difficult journey through infertility and medical treatments. During this time, she attended a support group regularly. It greatly helped her emotionally. She looks forward to helping others find the support, understanding, and encouragement she felt while attending KC infertility events.
