IVF This Podcast - Episode 123 I wish I would have...
Do you often think of choices you have made in the past, that if you had made a different decision, you might not have to go through IVF? If you had sought help earlier, you might already have your family. These are called counterfactuals. Today, I explain what they are, why we do them, and three ways to manage counterfactual thinking.
