Going through infertility is one of the hardest, most poignant stressors a marriage can face.

Boy, you know, my story is a long one.

So I'll kind of select the highlights.

I was working, so I specialize in my practice in two types of issues.

I specialize in couples and I specialize in women's reproductive health and the mental health challenges that come along with that.

And I was doing that before I ever experienced any issues with infertility myself.

And

And it's just really pretty shocking how my life sort of transformed to meet my work where I needed to meet it.

And now how I work with women experiencing infertility and going through IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies is so different because I know what they're going through.

I've experienced it.

But I had my first child on the late side.

I had him right before my 40th birthday.

And it was easy.

And it was very little effort.

And I know that experience.

And I'm grateful to have known that experience.

I didn't know at the time how lucky I was and how fortunate I was.

And I kind of just assumed, oh, like I beat the odds.

Like I'm just one of those people that can have kids late in life.

And I didn't really worry too much about having a second kid.
