The past few years have been a whirlwind for Ashley, who has been diagnosed with various autoimmune diseases along with PCOS. In the midst of managing these diagnoses, Ashley and her husband began trying to get pregnant. Ashley was able to advocate for herself and get on a treatment program that seemed to work well for her body. Ashely and her husband were able to get pregnant, unfortunately, the pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage. Ashely and her husband are currently decided where to go from here. Will they continue down their path or try an IUI?

In our conversation, Ashely also opens up about dealing with body shaming and stigmas surrounding her weight from medical professionals. She so eloquently voices the changes that need to happen in the health care system for larger-bodied individuals. I admire Ashley's openness and candidness she brings to the community.
