Today, Ali is talking to Dr. Loree Johnson, @drloreejohnson, a therapist specializing in reproductive health, grief, infertility and pregnancy loss. Loree talks about going through six rounds of IVF and so much more, including finding out in the second trimester that their baby had chromosomal issues—and making the devastating decision to terminate for medical reasons. Loree talks about the grief of that decision, how infertility affected her marriage, and why taking a break to travel was so important to them. Then Ali and Loree discuss trauma, EMDR, black maternal health, and the disparities in health coverage for women everywhere.TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:Infertility; IVF; unexplained infertility; stress and anxiety; IUI; TMFR; chemical pregnancy; tubal blockage, ruptured uterus, pregnancy after infertility and loss, rainbow babies.EPISODE SPONSORS:FERTILITY RALLY, @fertilityrallyNo one should go through infertility alone.
