In this episode, Dr. Bybee speaks with Dr. Jenna Miller, a fellow pediatric critical care medicine physician and advocate.

In their conversation, Dr. Miller shares a bit about her own experience with infertility and how this led to her writing a book on the topic. Her book, Navigating Infertility as a Woman in Medicine, is a vital resource for individuals, leaders, and organizations.  As Dr. Miller discusses in the episode, infertility is not just a "women's issue."

This episode also discusses:

  • The scope of infertility in the general population and in medicine
  • A refresher on the biology of fertility 
  • The ongoing grief of experiencing infertility and undergoing infertility treatment
  • The guilt and shame that one can experience as a result of experiencing infertility and the importance of seeking support.
