Pregnant and wondering what the next steps are?
Hi Reader, I want to preface this email with a trigger warning. Don't be discouraged if you’ve been trying to conceive for some time and haven’t had success yet. You still have options, and there may be more to it than you realize. I recommend booking a discovery call so we can get to the bottom of why it’s taking longer than expected and discuss what practical steps to take next.
