The Breadwinners

Despite the fact that infertility was officially designated a disease by the American Medical Association in 2017, full fertility treatments still aren’t covered by most company health insurance plans. Meanwhile, 73,000 babies were born in 2015 using assisted reproductive technologies, a number that has doubled in the last decade. Jennifer and Rachael talk about the costs of infertility treatments — financial, emotional, and time — and what many of us feel you can (and can’t) talk about at work when it comes to infertility and miscarriages.
