Initially, going into the consultation with Jessica I was already excited to have the opportunity to share my thoughts and learn from Jessica's experience. Yet, I had internal doubts about even having the conversation as well. During the consultation, Jessica provided a safe and kind space that gave permission for me to be open, honest, and vulnerable about my thoughts. During the conversation, Jessica encouraged me to research, ask questions, and join a community for support. Jessica also encouraged me to advocate for myself when speaking with healthcare professionals, pre/post the egg freezing and IVF journey to help foster my decisions.
Lastly, Jessica shared her own experience and tips to consider which made the consult all the more rewarding, helping to ease any doubts I carried into the conversation. Thanks, Jessica for your willingness to share and meet with me as I navigate my own journey. - Regina R.
