If you’re undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), it’s important to tap into support wherever you can find it. Whether you’re starting your first round of IVF or have been trying to conceive for years, you’re not alone. There are others with stories just like yours who know what you’re going through. IVF podcasts are a great way to tap into a source of emotional support as well as direct medical advice about infertility treatments. If you aren’t ready to join a formal support group, podcasts about IVF are a great place to start.
