In today's episode of The Other Way, I'm joined by Sahana Jayaraman as we dive into the often invisible and emotional journey of infertility. Sahana shares her deeply personal experience of undergoing seven rounds of IVF, nine embryo transfers, three miscarriages, and one ectopic pregnancy. This conversation is not just about her story but also about shedding light on the silence that surrounds infertility, the myths about female timelines, and the societal narratives that need shifting. We talk about raw truths, real stats, and the emotional and physical toll of fertility treatments. If you're on your own fertility journey or know someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a powerful message of resilience and hope. Join us as we honor the non-linear paths to motherhood and the strength it takes to hold onto oneself through it all.
