We don't have all the time in the world. And if we're just waiting years to see what's happening without looking deeper, without looking for answers, we are so reactive and at times, I'm sure, too late, which is devastating for the future that these women envisioned their entire lives, right?
You're so right, because so few things in our life make you reevaluate your entire sense of self, and infertility is one of them. If you envisioned being a mother and suddenly this may be what your future holds. It is challenging the core identity for so many people, but your fertility is finite. As we talked about age and accumulated damage, many women think one day I'll run out of eggs and then I won't be able to have kids anymore. But the reality is one day your eggs will become so damaged they won't function normally anymore, and that's what will halt your fertility much before you'll actively run out of eggs. But because so many of these different factors are important in your journey to conceive, it's really important to start paying attention to them, you know, as soon as you can. I mean, if you're trying now, we'll start paying attention now.
