Dr. Knopman shares what inspired her to write a book that cuts through the noise and delivers accurate, relatable information on women's fertility. From her early inspiration by Elizabeth Blackwell to her specialization in reproductive medicine, she walks us through her journey and why she believes every woman deserves to make educated choices about her fertility before time becomes a factor.We dive deep into the biological clock, the shame surrounding infertility, and why Dr. Knopman wants us to stop treating fertility as a given.
