Description

Today, on the Season Three Premiere, Ali talks to Caroline, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer at the age of 26. Caroline talks about how she was in a race against time to preserve her fertility before she started her cancer treatments, how she was wheeled from one hospital during cancer treatment to another hospital to do her egg retrieval and how the intense pain of her tumor affected her sex life. She also talks about why she started Femunity.org, a community and crowdsourcing platform where women can ask questions and share their medical experiences, and where she is now in her family building journey. Today’s episode is sponsored by FERTILITY RALLY—Community, Content and Curated Events at www.fertilityrally.com FERTILITY RALLY MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN NOVEMBER 1-7--SIGN UP NOW! www.fertilityrally.com/join-nowSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this unfiltered podcast about infertility, Brooklyn-based journalist and mom-of-two Ali Prato, who went through secondary infertility and IVF herself, talks to women—and some men—about the messy, frustrating, painful, heartbreaking, absurd and sometimes hilarious journey to have a baby. Or in some cases, to not have a baby. Each episode tells a different story about family building, getting real about miscarriages, egg freezing, sperm and egg donation, IUIs, endometriosis, male factor infertility, adoption, surrogacy, genetic testing, single parenting by choice, LGBTQ+ fertility, living childless not by choice, depression, relationship issues, money issues, jealousy, PTSD, and so much more. Ali covers all of the outcomes in this safe, non-judgement zone: the happy endings, the soul-crushingly sad ones, and the ones still in limbo.
