On today's episode of ShrinkChicks, Emmalee is taking you on her fertility journey. The episode begins with Em's story and all the highs and lows that have come with it thus far. She talks about her recurrent miscarriage diagnosis, her misdiagnosis of PCOS, and her two recent egg retrieval experiences. Then, Jen asks Em all of your questions, such as advice for those freezing their eggs alone, what has been most helpful when Em's feeling overwhelmed by the process, how best to support a friend going through infertility, how to respond to advice like "just relax and it will happen" when experiencing infertility, handling the jealousy and envy that creeps in when others around you are getting pregnant, and so much more! Tune in for an honest, vulnerable, and important conversation! PS: Fast forward to around 4:15 into their convo to skip the intro and get straight to today’s content.
