It’s the moment we’ve all waited for: the embryo transfer. Do you tell your family and friends? Do you keep it a secret until you know if it worked, or until the end of the first trimester? In today’s episode, we’re talking about support systems, celebrating small joys, and the emotional labor that comes with sharing your infertility and IVF journey publicly.
