About 12% of all women trying to conceive another child will struggle with doing so. That is 1 in 8 couples. Shocked? So am I. But this a hard reality for so many. And being that these couples have in the past had success, this secondary infertility is often hard to navigate. The path doesn't seem as clear and for those looking in, it often doesn't make much sense. "Why not just be happy with the one you do have?" "Just relax." "It will happen because it clearly happened before."

In todays episode, I am joined by mama Erin Mackenzie. Mom of 1, who is currently in the midsts of this very struggle. Erin has been present on social media sharing her story about secondary infertility along with so many other things that speak to my heart: mom support, books worth reading and more. She can be found on instagram but also on Tik Tok. 

In today's episode, we discuss:

• Infertility
• IVF
• Having kids close in age
• Male factor infertility
