Read excerpt
Welcome to the Chaos Zone! I’ve been sick for the last two weeks and if you can’t tell from my voice after listening to this week’s episode of the podcast I still haven’t fully recovered.

It’s annoying, really. If you’re new here, well, welcome! I give a little background on my fertility journey thus far to get you all up to speed. One of the reasons I share so much of my fertility journey here even though I didn’t set out for this to be a fertility podcast is because when I started my journe
