In Part Two of this powerful conversation, Kirsten Karchmer dives deep into the critical distinction between getting pregnant and staying pregnant. She shares insights from treating over 10,000 infertile women (half suffering with RPL) and reveals why we need to shift our focus to preparing the body for a healthy pregnancy before conception.
