"I had a good family doctor. But I don’t think we ever discussed fertility until I told her that I was ready to start a family. Eighteen months after that conversation, I was standing in a fertility clinic listening to a fertility specialist tell me that my hormone levels were borderline menopausal and my ovaries didn’t have many eggs left. I was shocked. I was only thirty-four. The doctor explained that twenty percent of women my age were infertile, making it hard or impossible to get pregnant. As I learned the facts about infertility, I was baffled that every girl and woman would not be equipped early in life with information on how to reduce the risks of this happening to them. I began to see infertility as an epidemic that no one was talking about."
