In this episode Alexa shares her preconception story, beginning with her patriarchal upbringing, being on birth control for seven years, receiving a PCOS diagnoses, getting shuttled through fertility clinics, and ultimately ending up in emergency surgery after an IVF transfer resulted in an infection. We look at the astrology behind this turning point and how it launched her into a new perspective on women’s health and her own fertility journey. The conversation also wanders through musings on doctors as heroes, which drugs are actually required for IVF (and which are not), the spiritual community’s embrace for fertility technology, and Alexa’s incredibly kismet adoption process.
