One Mom's Honest IVF Journey: Over 100 Shots, PCOS, and the Son Who Made It Worth It
from Two Moms, Too Much Coffee · host Jhshell and Tempestt
We're joined by our friend Monique — a women's health pelvic floor physical therapist — for one of the most real conversations we've had on this show.Monique walks us through her full IVF journey: being diagnosed with PCOS and fertility issues just months after going off birth control, skipping straight to IVF when doctors told her natural conception wasn't an option, navigating 100+ injections, the $20,000 sticker shock (and how insurance changed everything at the last minute), and what nobody on TV ever shows you about the process.She also opens up about the emotional side — why she took the news more calmly than most, what made her want to quit mid-injection, and how becoming a mom changed everything she thought she knew about herself.If you're on an IVF journey, thinking about it, or just want to understand what someone you love might be going through — this one's for you.Monique's practice: derizziopt.com (mobile in-home visits, DFW area — pelvic floor, postpartum, prenatal, fertility support, and more)Follow us: @twomomstooomuchcoffeeTwo Moms Too Much Coffee — real talk, no filter, always overcaffeinated.
