Infertile Af

Today, Ali is talking to her dear friend and Fertility Rally member, Mesha Hardesty. Mesha tells Ali about getting her period at the age of 10, a cyst that led her to go on birth control at age 12, and painful periods that would "drop me to the floor." She talks about trying to have a baby, going through infertility during the pandemic, and what happened when she was finally diagnosed with stage-4 endometriosis. She also talks about her husband's semen analysis, pivoting to IVF, OHSS, endo surgery, why she had to have a D&C and having her two baby girls via IVF. IG: @meshahardestySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; endometriosis; stage-4 endo; ovarian cysts; IVF; egg retrieval; OHSS; frozen embryo transfer; pregnancy after infertility; placenta accreta; D&C; IVF successEPISODE SPONSORS: WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/bo
