Whoa, is this late! Did y’all notice?

Ashlea Angel joins us to discuss how lightning struck her (or her tubes) twice, affecting her choices of infertility treatments. Not only does she share her experience with retrievals and transfers, but shares that embryos get report cards! 🤯Tiger moms to be, this is the first of many grades your baby to be is gonna get. 

You’ll note some recurring themes and behaviors of moms with fertility struggles, but this is an episode where the ins and outs of testing and treatment are very clear in Ashlea’s case. Please remember that every BODY is different and everybody is different, so Ashlea’s experiences may not resonate with everyone else. Learn what you can and move on.

The most poignant moments in this episode are Ashlea’s journey to Islam and the effect of infertility on her faith, as well as the toll it takes on a marriage. Keep listening for a surprise about ⅔ of the way into the episode and remember to remember all our sisters in your duaa.
