And in the end... the result may just be worth the struggle.

The journey of infertility is often a lengthy, complicated, and stressful journey, sometimes with more questions than answers.  Oftentimes, those questions lead to more procedures including costly IVF cycles.  In many cases, multiple egg retrievals are necessary and even then, success is not always guaranteed.  My guest today, Ilana Refaeli has first-hand experience with the trials and tribulations of infertility, multiple cycles of IVF including multiple transfers, egg retrievals, and lack of answers.  After years of struggling with infertility, she's got some exciting surprises to share with us!
