  • I think the mistake we made from the very beginning is that I didn’t ask enough questions. I trusted the IVF process and didn’t realize that in so many ways I was betraying my body and self by not asking questions, like how the drugs would make me feel.

  • The IVF process and being pregnant in general has really shown me how women are expected to just give their bodies away to be vessels for babies.
