Here are some helpful links to some posts about our fertility journey: Getting pregnant with Ezra, part 1 & part 2 Getting pregnant with Brody Getting pregnant with Cooper Here is a preview of some of the topic and questions we discuss in this episode: The differences between egg and embryo freezing What to expect in the process of freezing eggs or embryos Who is a good candidate for egg or embryo freezing?
