Erin Bulcao
Patient Advocate & Infertility Warrior
Erin is a 35-year-old certified yoga instructor, wife, and mom of twin girls. She currently lives in Encinitas, CA, but would move to NYC tomorrow if given the chance. Erin’s been married for 11 years and had twin girls in June 2011 after doing an IUI cycle at the age of 27. She feels very blessed and is finally pregnant with a baby girl after 3 years of IVF, resulting in 4 egg retrievals, 6 failed FET’s, 1 failed IUI and a miscarriage. It’s been a long road but feels she’s grown stronger as a couple and as a family, since having kids and going through IVF becomes a family affair. Though she’s a certified yoga teacher, she’s put teaching on hold due to the physical and mental demands of IVF. She has a love for musicals, dark chocolate, weekly walks with her husband, and weekly date nights!
