With infertility, you don’t always get clear answers.
For Becky, her infertility journey was entirely unexpected and remains unexplained. Though she has received medical support every step of the way, there’s no clear cause to her infertility, and that’s made it even more difficult to accept.
In today’s episode, I talk to Becky about her unexplained infertility issues and her first pregnancy, which unfortunately ended in a miscarriage. She shares her experience attending appointments alone during COVID and coming to terms with the reality of her infertility.
