Their story once inspired thousands on Instagram. Now, it serves as a gut-wrenching warning of what can go wrong when friendships come apart.

Carley underwent the emotional and physical toll of IVF, enduring the injections, the hormone storms and the weight of hope - all to create embryos she and Ciara could one day use to build their family.

One of those embryos gave them a son, their first miracle. The remaining embryos were frozen, symbols of a future they were excited to meet.
