ALEXANDER, Ark. – A central Arkansas family is trying to start a new chapter in a story that has left them heartbroken for years. Like many families, the Powell's are struggling with infertility.
Instead of keeping their story to themselves, they’re sharing it with others, hoping it can change the narrative from tragedy to joy. Laughter during a hard season for the Powell family.
"It's definitely an emotional experience, it's kind of a roller-coaster," Lizzy Powell said.
According to Powell, they have struggled with infertility for four years now.
"It's insane how many people and how common infertility is," Powell said.
According to the CDC, one in five women are not able to get pregnant after one year of trying. One in four women in that group have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term.
Although, one Facebook post gave the Powell’s hope for the future.
"It's amazing, it's definitely insane," Powell said.
