Today, Ali talks to Nicole, who is still in the middle of what she calls her "infertility puzzle," -- with no baby yet. Nicole shares what she's been through so far, including not being able to get pregnant naturally, starting with IUI because she wasn't yet ready for IVF, a chemical pregnancy, getting those "big, fat, negative" pregnancy tests and the devastation of her two unsuccessful transfers. She also talks about how difficult it is to explain infertility to your parents and family, how she handled her emotions being "all over the place," why she found it so important to take a break from treatment, and asking herself, "Am I gonna ever get pregnant?"

TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:

Endometriosis, IUI, IVF, failed transfers, chemical pregnancy, anxiety and intense emotions, taking a break, questioning one's body
