This was the statement that was to change the course of my reproductive health forever.

I had met my dear friend and gynecologist of 8 years now  a few months before this statement was made. The reason being I was planning to get married and needed reproductive health advice. Like many millennial couples my soon to be husband and I wanted to delay getting children until maybe a year into the marriage (This statement/idea/way of thinking makes me see the presumptuousness of human beings! You would think we were in charge, in control and able to give ourselves children!).

The year was 2009.
