Thinking before you speak when it comes to infertility

morganjo33Leave a comment

Unsolicited comments are a constant in today’s society, especially with the prominence of social media. Thus, during my time undergoing fertility treatments I experienced no shortage of, let’s call them “unfiltered” remarks.
