So helpful!

I’ve heard Dr. Domar speak before and love her perspective. This format of having her in conversation with someone actually going through infertility as well is just so fabulous and relatable. It makes me feel seen and heard and less lonely and offers excellent advice. Thank you for making this podcast! There are a lot of infertility podcasts out there but this one is just the best!

Good information without the overload

Set out to listen to one episode and I ended up listening to them all! I enjoy that they are shorter and q&a based. Most all of the community questions were ones I had as well. Hosts are both gentle and knowledgeable. Sending love to all my fellow folks ttc.
