Today's conversation is a very difficult one.  We discuss the difficulty with needing to make a decision around termination for medical reasons ro TFMR.  We speak with the the recurrent loss psychologist, Nic about what this experience was like for her.  She offers such a kind and supportive space for those who have experienced recurrent loss and those having to make the difficult decision.  

This episode of the Infertile and 40 Podcast serves as a valuable resource for anyone navigating questions and concerns about birth control, fertility, and their long-term impact on health and family planning. It underscores the significance of dispelling myths and the power of knowledge in making informed decisions about reproductive health.

I hope this episode helps you as you navigate through this very difficult decision or as you navigate recurrent pregnancy loss.
