Notes on this Episode:
In this podcast we use the term “female-identifying”, however, sometimes we do just say the word “women”, by which we mean it inclusively as anyone who identifies as female. We will continue to do our best throughout this podcast series to use the proper terminology and educate ourselves as preferred syntax continues to evolve.
Content warnings: reproductive illness, infertility, pregnancy loss, and pregnancy complications
Please note that when statistics of IVF are discussed, they are referring to “per embryo transferred” which measures the success based on the number of embryos transferred, instead of the number of cycles or egg retrievals
All opinions discussed in this podcast are of Cori Hundt and Danielle Joy individually, not that of Via Brooklyn Theatre Co. or “STILL…?!” The Podcast
Please note there may be spoilers if you are listening to our episode before watching the film!
Thank you for listening!
