"Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do."
Carla is in her mid-30s and just recently gave birth to her first child - a beautiful baby boy named Wade. Her journey to motherhood has not been easy - she and her husband had been trying to get pregnant for over four years. Carla was diagnosed with what is known as "Premature Ovarian Failure" - doctors had told her that she had less than a 5% chance of conceiving. After more than 20 IVF cycles and countless hormone injections, they are finally welcoming the newest addition to their family. In this episode, we talk about the oftentimes hidden struggles of fertility challenges, the guilt and shame that come with it, as well as the incredible miracle of life.
