this weeks story of timing is with Amanda Morgan! excited to bring you this episode for so many reasons:
-this is the first story that involves male diagnosis only. this was Such a great perspective for me and so relatable because although our stories are somewhat different - they have many similarities and it brought up a lot of questions for me personally that you’ll be able to hear me ask like: am i delaying the inevitable ? and what if I have this IVF back up plan but it doesn’t actually work?
-this is not an IVF horror story!! This is proof (and hope) that it’s possible to do just one round and be successful on that round
-We also talk about this very REAL feeling of having to grieve the perfect cute way to surprise your husband with a pregnancy when he already knows it could be coming
-focusing more on your feelings of hope rather than feelings of fear (if its even possible)
-And my favorite part, she ends it by saying - feel free to reach out to me - if you need a friend or want to talk, please reach out i will always be happy to hear from you . sometimes its easy to feel like yours on an island - no one else that your friends with is going through IVF and feel like you have no one to talk to about it- then start to talk to people about it an realize so many other going through; one of my favorite parts about this podcast is the new friends I’m making
-Thank you Amanda for being so brave and sharing your story with us.
