Have you heard about Christina Perri and her efforts towards raising awareness for blood clotting conditions and their role in recurrent miscarriages after having losses of her own? I am so thrilled that she is using her voice to draw attention to this and making an effort to change the standards of testing to hopefully save more babies' lives! But it's not just about WHEN to test... listen to this episode to hear about what else could make a significant impact in the standards of testing for blood clotting conditions in pregnancy. It would be so amazing if we could come together to continue this mission! 

In this episode, I announce some exciting news but also discuss the reasons why IVF may not be the solution to bringing home baby and what you should do BEFORE pursuing IVF to maximize your chances of success! This is a good one, ESPECIALLY if you are considering IVF, so if that's you, be sure to take a listen! 

On today's episode, I discuss how similar experiences in recurrent pregnancy loss can differ greatly and my own perspective on why I still have my pregnancy tests and will likely never be able to get rid of them. I hope this episode is a connecting source for you and helps you feel less alone! I look forward to hearing your story, so be sure to reach out after you've taken a listen. Rooting for you!
