ABSTRACT

Job titles depict our status and various roles within an organization but what about our personal life? Priya Santhanam felt that while she was being called an engineer, scientist, and manager, there was one status that loomed around her constantly, she was infertile. This was something that came up at family gatherings where her accolades in her career did not shine as brightly. She takes us through her experience of a miscarriage on one of the most important days of her career. This brave soul also takes us on her journey through the world of in-vitro fertilization and its implications on her career goals. The skill of planning around treatment dates and balancing it all is covered in this chapter.
