Today, Ali chats with Colorado lifestyle blogger Dani Wade, aka @dwbella. Dani fills Ali in on the four years she has spent so far battling infertility, and how her journey is not over yet. Still in the midst of her story, Dani tells Ali what has happened up until this point, including hormone fluctuations, failed IUIs, the "heartbreak of the process," and how she's had very tough conversations with her husband. Dani talks about "feeling like it was on all her, as the woman," the importance of taking a break, why she thinks "we would greatly benefit from having more diversity in our healthcare system," and where she is now.
