This week, Kate updates you on the first half of the IVF/egg retrieval process and, in the second half, is fortunate enough to ask Kindbody co-founder Dr. Fahimeh Sasan about your questions regarding egg freezing/embryos/IVF because Kate wished she knew these things but was (and still is honestly) a person who isn’t super into kid-related content. But for those of you that identified with Childless Millennial in 2020, this is kind of an update, where she summarizes how she got here, how she used to feel, the core drivers in changing her mind, her experience with TTC and loss, and what the outcome was of the first embryo retrieval and why she’ll likely do a second. Some of it you've heard before (if you don't want to hear updated thoughts, go to the second hour) but wanted to have one megasode to serve as a one-stop-shop of all that's happened where she's crying considerably less than when she explained it in real-time. Sorry for the departure from fun pop culture or lifestyle stuff, but she dragged you into this mess two years ago and will update you as she navigates what turned out to be a very not straightforward path to motherhood, if anything, so those of you like her, existing amongst a minefield of other people’s best-case scenarios at all times, feel a little less crazy. Enjoy?
