“Allow yourself to walk through negative feelings. When we go through IVF, we have these negative fears like “what if it doesn’t work?”, and we have anxiety and depression, especially in the two week wait. All of these bring a lot of stress to our bodies. Don’t hide those feelings. They will pile up and it is worse. Run, scream, curse, cry.. Go to a support group. Allow yourself to feel that. Then let it go. Do art therapy. Watch movies, watch something funny. Do not forget about your partner, that there is a relationship there. We have a tendency that when we go through this, and our focus is baby-baby-baby, we forget our world around us and that we had a life before. We still need to stay connected.” -Monica

Today’s guest is Monica Bivas. Monica went through a very difficult fertility rollercoaster of emotions, from being there she learned that “perfection is imperfection, and imperfection is beautiful”, so she took this experience and squeezed the sweetness out of it. That sweetness is the absolute love and passion she has for what she does now: Coaching and Mentoring women and couples (no matter the sexual preferences ) all over the world going through IVF. Monica offers three different 1:1 programs on IVF depending on the path of the journey couples are in, as well as group programs, talks and other fertility resources.

I’m thrilled to have Monica on the podcast, sharing her expertise and her amazing journey of stillbirth and IVF. Follow Monica on Instagram @monicabivas.
