Everything will work if I do everything perfectly. 
Or so I thought. 
This episode is all about how we can be in relentless pursuit of perfection when trying to get pregnant. Jesse and Doug look at what it feels like to be constantly chasing perfection and how perfection becomes an impossible standard.
The fertility world can sometimes be all about optimization. Optimizing your fertility is a good thing. However, when optimization turns into a frantic chase for perfection, you suffer. 
If you have ever felt like you are chasing perfection on your fertility journey, this episode is for you.

Let’s talk about the mom club.
When you are struggling to get pregnant, it feels like people keep getting into the “mom club.” It’s annoying. All they do is talk about mom club stuff. It feels like every conversation is about what it’s like being a mom. It hurts to hear it. It’s overwhelming to be around.
You want to be in the mom club, but you are annoyed with the mom club. You want to be a mom, and you’re overwhelmed by the people who are moms.
The mom club brings up a lot of feelings. Let’s talk about those feelings!

The sad reality is that when you go through infertility, you can feel unseen. Here is what that is like. 
In this episode Jesse and Doug talk about why people struggle to talk about the pain of infertility with those who are going through it. 
Why can't our friends and family understand how hard this is? Why do I feel so unseen by so many people in my life?
We look at the conundrum that we find ourselves in. We need people to see us and understand what this is like. But, who is going to tell them? Who is going to show people how to care for us? Do we (the people suffering) have to teach them! Ugh, we are already going through enough. 
We give 3 ways out of this conundrum for people suffering from infertility.
