Secondary Infertility after Birth Trauma

In December 2019, we gave birth to our beautiful son. It was under the most difficult of circumstances where both he and I were in the ICU. Over the last 1.5 years, we thought our story would be different but we realized we had secondary infertility from the delivery and complications.  In this episode of The Finding Joy Series, I share our story: How we found out we had secondary infertility, the ups and downs of that process, our decision to start IVF, and how Im navigating this emotionally and physically draining process.  If you are struggling with anything that is robbing your joy or causing you guilt as a parent, make sure to call it into the podcast at 954 526 2641 and I may discuss it on a future episode!
