Hello Fam,
      I hope you all are doing well this week! Thanks again for all the support, by listening to the show and sharing it with your friends and family! Have a safe and happy weekend.

      In this episode, we celebrate Women's History Month by highlighting a newly approved over-the-counter birth control pill, OPLL, as a significant step forward for women's autonomy and access to contraception, especially for those living in contraceptive deserts or seeking privacy. We then switch topics to maternal mortality rates in the black and brown communities, exacerbated by systemic racism within healthcare. It calls for more inclusive policies and services to support all women, regardless of their economic status. We then revisit IVF to clarify some unanswered questions.
