Fertility Doctors Are Bullying Women Into IVF | Guest: Catie VanDamme | Ep 980

Today, we're sitting down with Catie VanDamme, contributor to the Federalist. She discusses her experiences with ob-gyn doctors who pushed IVF as the only way to get pregnant due to her diagnosed endometriosis and reveals how one of her doctors even questioned if she really wanted to be a mother at all, leaving her in tears. She also reveals what helped her conceive - charting her cycle with NaProTECHNOLOGY, a holistic and natural method that worked with her body. We give some encouragement for women who might be struggling with infertility and explain God's role in it all.
