Ep 4: Benched by an ovarian cyst (WTF)

Ep 4: Benched by an ovarian cyst (WTF)

We’re diving into the unforeseen costs of IVF, specifically the extra fees for canceled cycles (wtf!) and how society often shames women for spending money on fertility treatments. We also talk about gut feelings, how to trust your own voice, and a new diagnosis: ovarian cysts.


Buckle up! It’s a good one. As always, love to you all. If you’re on this infertility/IVF journey too, you’re doing great and you’ve got this. xo
