Today Ali is talking to Jade, an amazing friend she met through Fertility Rally, and who works as a school counselor. Jade explains her entire infertility journey, including her hysteroscopy, "huffing" essentials oils, what happened when her doctor found uterine polyps, multiple failed IUIs, her laparoscopy and the discovery of endometriosis, and how all of this affected her relationship with her husband, Justin. Jade is about her have her first baby any day now, and she talks about her experience with IVF, panic attacks, what it felt like to finally be told she was pregnant, and of course, the anxieties that come with pregnancy after infertility. At one point, Jade asks, "Why am I setting myself up to get slapped in the face again and again?"
