Dr. Forman holds a special place in our hearts as he was my fertility doctor who helped us get pregnant with our three boys (my second baby daddy as I call him!).
With egg and embryo freezing has been such a big topic these days so we asked Dr. Forman to come back on Just The Good Stuff Podcast to help explain the process and answer some questions from our community.
