      And So The Adventure Begins - Angela Ricardo

      HELLO,

      A lot of you had asked about the process of our IVF journey. How long it took. What was the process like. The steps involved. How much the procedure costs. I figured the best way to answer all of those is to share it in a downloadable format that can be conveniently accessed even on the go.

      I tried my best to simplify the information to make it easier to understand. However, please keep in mind that I am not in any way an expert in the subject matter and what worked for me, as well as the timeline, is based on my personal experience.
