Infertility is something that 1 in 8 couples face but it isn't something you hear a lot about. Unless you know someone who is open about their own infertility, it might be hard to fully empathize with the struggle that a lot of people face in silence due to feelings of shame, embarrassment and trauma from unsuccessful attempts. Sara Strueby joins the podcast to share her and her husband's emotional and very personal journey to their daughter Reese. Sara will tell us all about how tough it was to receive the news and the pressure it places on a relationship, just how costly fertility treatments are both financially and physically, and how her fourth attempt at in-vitro fertilization finally paid off after a very touch and go pregnancy. This episode also approaches misconceptions about fertility treatments and equips you with ways to support someone you know who is going through a similar experience.
