Welcome back to Baby Steps! In this first episode of Baby Steps Season 2, presented by First Response, Jordana is joined by fertility and IVF Specialist Dr. Bana Kashani to talk about all the different forms fertility journeys can take. They start things off with what people can expect when they seek the type of professional fertility care that Dr. Kashani offers and the various steps of testing and resources available. They also discuss how to even go about finding the right fertility doctor, and how to avoid some pitfalls along the way. Then they get into how social media can often wrap people’s perceptions of what the ‘right’ things to do can be during your journey, and some pointers to help find the balance between living a bubble and healthy in your life. After that, they address various forms of fertility treatments and some resources for financial assistance to offset the high costs these are associated with. To round us out, Dr. Kashani offers some positive reinforcement to anyone struggling with fertility and gives some encouragement to help you on your way.
