*Trigger warning - discussion of infertility and pregnancy loss* To honor national infertility awareness week, I am joined by my close friend to discuss her extensive journey through infertility, IVF, and ultimately surrogacy. She shares about the emotional rollercoaster of fertility treatments, the decision to pursue surrogacy, and the unique challenges of becoming a parent through this process. Perry opens up about grieving the loss of a traditional pregnancy experience while navigating the complexities of having a surrogate carry her twins and so much more of her journey. Our conversation aims to shed light on the challenges and triumphs of all paths to parenthood.
