calm, collected because personally, when I feel nervous or anxious, I don't really retain a lot of new information.

And I know that that's true for many of my patients.

Absolutely.

I mean, even if it's not pertinent to you in this moment, like you said, you have a lot of friends going through it.

One in six couples or individuals will have infertility.

And it's not even infertility.

It's just, you know, there are so many different types of stories.

And I see a lot of same sex couples who from the get go, it's not fair, but they're missing sperm or they're missing eggs or they need to rely on surrogacy to carry the pregnancy.

But everyone deserves the ability to build their family.

For some people that means intervention from the start and that's where experts like me come in, but I do think there's so much misinformation and misconceptions and even well-meaning people will make comments that can be really insensitive and hurtful.

So raising awareness about this issue is not just about will it affect you one day, but it's about making it a better society for everyone and making it more inclusive and supportive.

Let's talk about the four building blocks.

Sperm, eggs, you need a uterus, and you need fallopian tubes.

And basically, if you think about the journey, it starts with ovulating an egg.

And a lot of people don't even know what that means.

They think they're ovulating like multiple eggs.
