This is part 2 of a 2-part series on a silent struggle many women face: infertility. So if you haven’t caught part 1 yet, go back and listen to part 1 before continuing to part 2.
Our guest on the show is the host of the Infertility and Me Podcast, Monique Farook. In part 1, Monique shared about her experience trying to get pregnant naturally without success, her subsequent infertility diagnosis, its impact on her life, self-esteem and relationship with her husband.
We continue our conversation with Monique, discussing:
- Fertility treatment options for women like in-vitro fertilization (IVF), and egg freezing
- The importance of educating people of color on infertility and available treatments
- The exclusionary pricing of treatment options and how insurance can help
- The importance of having a support network
Monique and I both share which treatments we’ve done and our experiences with them.
