So I like to call this the fertility Bible.
And when I sat down with my book agent and then eventually my editor, we had lofty aspirations.
And they were like, I don't know if you're going to be able to do this.
And I still don't even know how it's possible, but it is so comprehensive.
Yeah.
And it's really for anyone at any point in the journey.
What I hope to see in the future is that people are gifting this to their 20-something-year-old daughters to say, you know what?
The last time you probably thought about the topic of reproduction was in health class in grade school.
But now you're entering your 20s, and you're probably going to be fed a narrative of fear about the biological clock.
And I want you to actually know what the biological clock is so that you can kind of keep that in the back of your head and make informed decisions as you go through your life.
There wasn't one singular moment.
I think it was being raised in a household with a lot of women.
I have two older sisters.
My mom has always been a strong figure in our household, my grandmother as well.
It was kind of a matriarchal family and household.
And I feel like I loved the field from the get-go because it was empowering to me that it can give women options that they otherwise don't have.
I think if you think about fertility and the lack of solutions that people had access to and also the shame that was surrounding the issue, I think it's just empowering to see how something that was invented, when you think about IVF, which is one of the most efficient and effective treatment options, it's not the only treatment option for infertility,
But that only came about in the 70s.
And look how far we've come.
Back then, we were saying, okay, you have a single digit, like 5% chance of success.
