141- PCOS & The Fertility Doctor’s Guide to Overcoming Infertility
“You are not defined by your fertility. That’s not a talent. That’s not anything that you’ve done. It’s like bragging that your right-handed… You’re defined by what type of person you are and how you contribute to this world and make it a better place… There is a lot of opportunity in life to find fulfillment and if, God forbid, it doesn’t happen the way that you originally wanted, there are things that you can do.”
