I found during my TTC journey that I could never read enough about fertility/infertility related subjects. I was always trying to find something that would help me understand.
Some of the links may appear to be repetitive, but every link offers an explanation in a 'different way' and may include one little bit of information that was not in the previous.
Should there be a broken/missing link please
I hope you find the information that I gathered when I was TTC helpful. One bit of advice...
Make sure you give yourself more TLC than ever before and don't lose yourself in the process. It can consume you and before you know it it's the only thing on your mind 24/7. Make time in your life for other things as well.
Wishing you the best in your TTC journey :)
