Behind the Scenes of Surrogacy with Megan Edgecumbe

Today I'm joined on The Egg Whisperer Show by Megan Edgecumb, founder of Your Fertility Advocate. Megan's journey through infertility, IVF, surrogacy, and pregnancy at age 42 is nothing short of remarkable. After a decade of perseverance, multiple rounds of IVF, failed surrogacy attempts, and even traveling abroad for innovative treatments, Megan now dedicates her work to helping intended parents and surrogates connect with compassion and care.
