Infertility is a deeply personal issue. Relationship dynamics, family support, religious beliefs, financial status, lifestyle, and mental health all play a role in the decision to undergo In Vitro Fertilization (IVF. ) While statistical odds can be factored into your plans, you are not a statistic. Outcomes can be unpredictable. Ultimately, your choices should be motivated from within.

Chad Beck is a member of my family. In this episode, he discusses his personal journey through the IVF process and his outcome. Please let this be an inspiration to you, a grounding thought, and something to share. I would like to specifically thank Chad's wife, Christine, for her support of Chad in telling this story publicly. At no point did I lose sight of her role and sacrifice, both mentally and physically during this process. I specifically design the workflow of this conversation with both Chad and Christine in mind. 

If you know anyone who went through the same journey, or is going through the same journey, please think about sharing this episode with them.

Enjoy!
