In terms of our infertility journey, we are working towards taking action, but are basically nowhere at this point, waiting for 2020 to get its shit together before we make any solid moves. I feel panicked about the time passing because the process can take a while. 31-year old eggs are theoretically better than 32-yearContinue reading “23. So, what now?”

22. Cancer and Fertility in the time of Covid
Since my surgery, I have had monthly blood draws to test my HCG levels (my tumor marker).
