Hey friends, welcome to Girls Night. I'm Stephanie May Wilson and I am so happy that you're here.

Each week I have a girlfriend over and we talk through one of the biggest questions we have

about our lives as women. We're talking about friendships and faith and relationships and self-confidence.

About our calling in life and how to live every bit of our lives to the absolute full.

Life is so much better and easier and absolutely more fun when we navigate it together as girlfriends

and I cannot wait to get started.

For instance today we're talking about what to do when you're trying to get pregnant but it's just not happening.

For anything like me you had a pretty clear idea of what you thought was going to happen once you decided to start trying to have a baby.

You've thought about this a lot, right? You talked about it, prayed about it, journaled about it, read books and blogs and listen to podcasts about it.

You've spent more time than you maybe want to admit plugging different dates into the due date calendar online.

You think okay if we start trying this month and we get pregnant this month then the baby will be born this month.

You know the drill.

You went ahead and relearned all the things you were supposed to have learned about your reproductive system and health class

and you're doing all the right things in the exact right way at the exact right time.

Things that seem to be working for everybody else in the whole entire world but still you're not pregnant.

If you're anything like me the plan you've so carefully crafted for starting your family just is not going the way you thought it would and it is so hard.

It's so hard and we cannot do this alone which is why I knew we needed to start talking about this more on girls night.

And why I knew I wanted to bring on my new friend Kathy Quillet to help us along the way.

Kathy is a licensed marriage and family therapist, a fertility coach and author and a speaker who specializes in infertility and pregnancy loss.

Along with the treatment of those in the seasons of pregnancy postpartum and adoption.

She owns Tennessee Reproductive Therapy and the Quillet Institute which both support the mental health needs of those going through seasons of infertility and loss.

Kathy has a wealth of knowledge on this topic and has lived through infertility herself so I'm so excited for you to get to know her and for you to get to learn from her.
