The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

0:18.3

Hey guys, welcome back to We Metatakmi.

0:24.7

Before we get into the episode, I just want to issue a trigger warning.

0:32.3

We talk about pregnancy loss, miscarriage, actopic pregnancies, and all the unfortunately very unfun things that happen when you are on a journey. But we also talk about IVF and bust a lot of the myths that you might have

0:40.8

heard. And my amazing doctor, Katha Fisher, is just a wealth of knowledge. Is it a wealth of knowledge

0:48.5

or a world of knowledge? Either way, she's extremely knowledgeable. I think you will love her. She has

1:45.5

it's that, you know, sharing this is so helpful because I got so many messages from people who

1:51.8

also had ectapic pregnancies, who just went through, you know, similar situations and

1:56.8

we're really grateful to have a voice that they could, you know, relate to and and make them
