Dr. Meivys Garcia is joining me on the podcast today! She is an amazing Canadian fertility doctor, and she's guiding us through her approach to fertility care when a frozen embryo transfer doesn’t work. She will describe every step, one at a time. We will also get personal. Knowing the heartbreak of having failed embryo transfers during her own fertility journey, Dr. Garcia knows all too well what it is like to be a fertility patient. She’s going to share her journey and share her wisdom based on her experience as a patient and as a fertility expert. I’m going to be honest and open about this; one of the hardest parts of walking the fertility journey with patients is when we have loss. Whether that be the loss of a pregnancy or the loss of a frozen embryo, it’s heart wrenching for me, and for the patient. Today’s podcast episode will be about holding space for loss, and how to move on when you’ve had difficult news. It’s about what you can learn from the unfortunate events. It’s also about the hope and courage it takes to be a fertility patient, and the admiration that Dr. Garcia and I have for every patient we’ve worked with.
