    My IVF Experience & Results: Real & Unfiltered
    Jan 30 2025
    Ep. 170: In this episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I’m sharing the highs and lows of my IVF journey - including the unexpected twists during my egg retrieval recovery and how I’m managing the hormone crash afterward. From daily injections to nearly running out of medication and even fainting post-retrieval, I’m opening up about the challenges that caught me off guard. I’ll also talk about the emotional rollercoaster of waiting for embryo updates, the practical steps I took to stay organized, and how Greg and I navigated this process together as a team. If you’re curious about IVF or considering it yourself, this episode dives into the details no one talks about. Let’s get into it! Leave Me a Message - click here! For Mari’s Instagram click here!
