In this episode of Before the BFP, Hafsa speaks with Laura Ashton (@life.with.aps) about her fertility journey through recurrent pregnancy loss and her diagnosis of APS (antiphospholipid syndrome) — a rare autoimmune clotting disorder linked to miscarriage and infertility.
Laura shares her experience with:
Chemical pregnancies and multiple miscarriages
A traumatic drawn-out miscarriage with little medical support
Finally receiving an APS diagnosis after years of being told it was “just stress”
Parenting a 4-year-old while navigating infertility and loss
Building community and finding pregnancy loss support on Instagram
✨ Laura’s story is a reminder: a loss is a loss, and it’s not your fault.
