This episode is part of the Fertility Detour. A limited series under Real Beauty with FD Fertility doesn't always follow a straight line, and for many of us, the path to motherhood or the decision not to become one is filled with loss, uncertainty, resilience, and unexpected strength. In this series, I'm sharing my own story. I'm walking through each chapter of the fertility journey from miscarriage to IVF, to the emotional, physical, and mental toll it can take in a way that's honest, unfiltered, and nonclinical. This isn't about advice or perfect outcomes. It's about naming what's hard, honoring what's real, and holding space. For anyone who's found themselves on a fertility detour, they never planned for. If this is your story too, I see you. So let's talk about it.

This week I had the opportunity to speak with Jessica from @explainingIVF

This was an account I found after starting IVF, which was so helpful! Educational with FACTS!

As you will tell from this episode, I learned so much from this conversation!

Real beauty, honest and raw conversations... this week i'm talking about Postpartum. I recorded this a couple of weeks ago, and now our beautiful baby is 4 months, i've hit the 4 month hormone crash! It's been a wild couple of days, but of course, feeling all the emotions of loving this phase/chapter, but equally admitting it's difficult. WHY don't we ever say this?
