Amy Beckley, who has a PhD in pharmacology and an expertise in hormone signaling, had trouble conceiving for more than three years before turning to IVF to have her son. But when she decided she didn't know if she could handle the physical and emotional challenges of another round of IVF, she began tracking her own hormone levels, suspecting she had a problem with ovulation—causing her to lose pregnancy after pregnancy. Today, she talks to Ali about creating a game-changing fertility product called Proov in her basement, how she finally had another child, and why IVF is not the "Band-Aid" so many people make it out to be. Fertility Rally is the all-inclusive community for anyone who has gone through infertility, is going through infertility, or who are building modern families in “non-traditional” ways.
