#157. How to make the IVF decision

Today we’re talking about the complex decision making process when it comes to the IVF decision. We cover the barriers to access, how age does need to play a role, as well as your own personal decisions. I walk you through the conversation and questions to ask yourself and your partner the same way I do with our FCM clients who are in the same space as you.
