Episode 45: WARRIOR STORY with Rebecca @callthestork - Endometriosis, Autoimmune Disorders, 6 IVF cycles, Laparoscopy, Conceiving Naturally
Well, I’ve been missing for a couple of months and I’m so sorry about that. As you can tell, I am under the weather currently and this gave me the opportunity to focus on the podcast episodes, so maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I am SOOOO grateful to all of the guests, listeners, and supporters who have been so patient with me as I navigate being infertile and having a podcast about infertility. Thank you so much for your grace.
Today’s episode isn’t about me though. It’s about Rebecca @callthestork on Instagram. She’s here today to talk to us about her experience. Full disclosure, we recorded this a year ago. So, her circumstances today are a little different, but her experience is still very valid. We cover quite a bit today including her multiple autoimmune disorders and how she has gone through 6 IVF cycles, PRP, endometriosis excision surgery, disagreements with moving forward with expanding her family, and ultimately conceiving naturally.
We certainly go over a lot and she has so much to share. We spend the first part of the episode really talking about her retrievals and in the second half really breaking things down.
Rebecca has always been so kind and thoughtful. She’s always taken time out to check on me and after my laparoscopy she was messaging me regularly and letting me know to take it easy and reminded me to slow down. She’s been one of the really truly amazing humans I’ve been along this space and I’m so grateful for that.
I hope you’ll enjoy today’s episode! Thank you again for your patients! They’ll be quite a few more episodes coming your way! I’ve got to play catch up! Stay tuned!
