The Human Aspect of Pellegrino

I was at the peak of my successful career when we decided we wanted to start a family. After several unsuccessful attempts, I started feeling like a failure. My self-worth took a beating as a result. After exploring our options, we decided IVF treatment was the solution. I tried so hard to be strong and supportive throughout the process that I buried any feelings of vulnerability and gradually became the person I did not want to be. I became a lonely and closed-off man.
