IV EFFING

IV-EFFING
Experiencing infertility is a wild ride. Sex becomes science. Every aspect of your life and health gets scrutinized. “Caregivers” benefit financially from the despair of their patients. IV-effing is a short comedy based on writer/actor Jean Villepique’s own experience navigating this often absurd process.
