Facebook Groups: the Ultimate Love/Hate Affair

Fertility coach Oana Gharbi shares her story and strategies for coping with IVF, secondary infertility, hormones, protocols, pompous doctors, and sometimes, when it's best to stop and live your life. Having experienced her own personal pain and loss with the death of her first husband, then acute secondary infertility with her second husband, Oana discovered her true calling as a coach and advocate for people still on the journey to family after deciding to stop IVF and restore peace and happiness to her life, her marriage, and her family. She and Sam discuss the good and bad of IVF Facebook groups, the difference in TTC for women over 40, low ovarian reserve, egg donation, pineapple core, myths and medical breakthroughs.


Find Oana on her Facebook Group and her website www.getthegoldenegg.com.
