Thanks for this interview, Katelyn! The only thing that I want to add to is the conversation around cost. In my particular client population, I have not seen RRM be more expensive than IVF. Surgery is typically the most expensive pursuit but--just to encourage others who may need that surgery--there are fellowship trained excision specialists who submit to insurance and still give you incredibly high quality surgical care with the kind of holistic support Mandy referenced from Dr. Moawad. They are not located in every state, so they often require travel, but the insurance coverage is worth it for many. Just a bit of encouragement!
“ A longer, albeit less catchy, phrase would be, “Get married when a Godly spouse enters your life and if it’s 22, awesome, if it’s 35 that’s good too. Be open to the gift of life, knowing it’s not something you can control. And leave a legacy that reflects the glory of God.”” - so, so true!
