Experience

However, her calling was to work with those struggling to conceive and preserve their fertility as she had a personal connection to IVF. After working as a surgical nurse at spring fertility Ashley wanted to help support patients through other steps of their fertility Journey.

Ashley is here to help from the moment you unbox your medications to the moment of your egg retrieval. She wants to empower you to feel confident about self administering injectable medications. Her goal is to make you feel comfortable regarding the surgical procedures you may encounter as a fertility patient such as egg retrievals.
