Speaker 1: Misconception follows Bloomberg health reporter Christine V. Brown on her
Speaker 1: own intimate journey as she uncovers the business of fertility.
Speaker 1: Along the way, she finds a profit driven field of
Speaker 1: medicine that thrives on dueling messages of hope and fear
Speaker 1: as people gamble at all for a chance at a baby.

Speaker 2: A few years ago, I started really freaking out. I
Speaker 2: was in my mid thirties. The time on my biological
Speaker 2: clock was quickly running out, so I set off to
Speaker 2: figure out whether I should freeze my eggs. But along
Speaker 2: the way I found more, a lot more.
Speaker 3: Most people have no idea what happens in the lab
Speaker 3: of a fertility clinic.
Speaker 2: The industry was built as a niche for high net
Speaker 2: worth individuals. I called it like the cults have never
Speaker 2: give up. I'm Bloomberg Health reporter Kristen V. Brown. My
Speaker 2: new series, Misconception journeys to the core of an industry
Speaker 2: where some of the most intimate, emotional and trying moments
Speaker 2: in life collide with business. A world where the costs
Speaker 2: are high, but the odds are sometimes low, Where miracles
Speaker 2: happen but soda mistakes. It's all oh slightly terrifying. Yeah.
