Charting for Mary had really good moments. Her Creighton chart revealed a lot about what was going on in her body and that was really helpful to her physicians and for her to understand some pretty intricate details about her health. However, because it revealed how dysfunctional her body was and trended worse over time, it got really hard. The meds, supplements, and doc appointments got hard, too. Pregnancy tests really messed with her mind, but you'll learn in this episode why she had to continue to take them.

Is there a healthier way to approach charting? Restorative reproductive medicine? Our relationship with infertility? Why doesn't pregnancy heal the wounds of infertility? Emily interviews Mary to find out.
