Fertility Chick Chat

The fertility journey does not have to be spent isolated and lonely. This blog is intended to support fertility patients and the people they love with factual, upbeat information — pulled from relevant medical articles, the many thousands of fertility patient interactions I have had over the years (anonymously presented), and bits and pieces of my own very long, circuitous road to parenthood.
It is an honor to be a blogger for FertilityAuthority, as well as to be included in the vast sisterhood of those affected by infertility.
