Hello, It's Francie Lacua and I'm one of the hosts of In the City on Bloomberg Podcasts. I want to tell you about the gripping new season of Prognosis called Misconception. Misconception follows Bloomberg health reporter Christine V. Brown on her own intimate journey as she uncovers the business of fertility. Along the way, she finds a profit driven field of medicine that thrives on dueling messages of hope and fear as people gamble at all for a chance at a baby.

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