This is actually the very first call I ever recorded. I was in cape cod for my friend’s wedding, and right across the street from our airbnb there was a pathway that lead to a walkway/bike path surrounded by tees, and bunches, and sunlight. We didnt know it was there when we booked the airbnb, so you can imagine how excited I was when I accidentally found it looking for an escape so my husband wouldn’t hear me doing the interview (was super shy about it and still kind am).
This is Rachel’s story, and its quick but so special to me. She mentions trying an HSG and Clomid, both unsuccessful. There was some slight male factor but it didn’t seem to be a big issue and was fixed with a vitamin. Rachel also had a mild case of endometriosis, which resulted in one surgery in between TTC (trying to conceive).
Rachel spent about two years coming to terms with what experts told her of her inability to become pregnant. She spent this time practicing self-care both mentally and physically.
Due to complications relating to endometriosis, Rachel and her doctor together decided that her next move should be a hysterectomy aka removing the uterus. Can you guess what happened right before her surgery?
