What happens when you do everything "right," but life doesn’t follow the script?   In this deeply honest conversation, Bianca Jade—a 46-year-old Jewish Latina woman—shares the winding, emotional path of her fertility journey. From freezing her eggs in her late 30s after a much-needed push from her therapist, to getting married at 44 and diving headfirst into trying to conceive, Bianca opens up about the pain of two miscarriages, the complexity of waiting, and the quiet grief of time passing.   We talk about what it means to take control - switching clinics, finding coaching - and what it means to surrender. Surrendering to uncertainty. To the reality of not having a baby yet. And even to the possibility that a baby might never come.   Bianca reflects on the deep spiritual work she’s done (with the help of teachers like Jackie Glaser), the questions she's had to sit with, and how she’s found joy and meaning in a life that looks different than she once imagined.   This episode is for anyone navigating fertility with a timeline that doesn’t match everyone else’s—and for anyone who's learning how to live fully, with or without children.   Mentions: The Joy of Later Motherhood: Your Natural Path to Healthy Babies Even in Your 40's by Bettina Gordon-Wayne  "Joy - The Birth of IVF" a Netflix series  Practioner Aimee Raupp  Rejuvenating Fertility Center

Never knew if I would actually get married or have a family but just didn't want to live with any regrets. At 44 I got married, and a few months before our wedding we visited my IVF doctor to just check-in and tell him that we wanted to fertilize soon. I remember him telling me to "hurry up" and even "to do it before the wedding" but I just felt like I had a lot of time on my hands...which kind of makes me laugh now. Less than 2 months after our wedding, I was pregnant naturally. And less than 2 months later, I had miscarried. Here I was going through the real deal fertility journey and learning that "yes, I was part of a statistic now". For a year I couldn't conceive and then this past Feb, I got pregnant! We surprised my parents at a fancy dinner with the news, only to find out 2 weeks later that we lost the baby again. This is where I stop typing and take a long breadth because all I know is that this journey is not easy for everyone including myself but I refuse to give up until it's time to make a shift. I have 2 embryos left and I'm well aware that I'm at the end of my opportunity of having biological children. I have made peace with that. What I've learned is the most important thing to me is to be a mother. The person I was before I started this journey is not who I am today, 2 losses later. I'm a very strong woman who is here to put it all on the table and help other women not make the same mistakes I did. Thank you for inviting me on your podcast! xo"
