Description

Today, Ali talks to her amazing friend Candace Wohl, who explains how 10 years of marriage, two brain surgeries and a 7 year battle with infertility have not been easy for her and her husband, Chris. Candace is a huge infertility advocate, creator of the blog Our Misconception, and star of MTV True Life documentary, “I’m Desperate to Have a Baby.” She gets into all of the highs and lows, including how her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor shortly after they got married, how they learned early how to deal with a life crisis, why she had a "Goodbye, Uterus," party (complete with a uterus piñata and a tampon corsage) and how, after she had two babies via surrogate, she was able to induce lactation and breastfeed. EPISODE SPONSOR:CIRCLE SURROGACYCircle Surrogacy provides exceptional knowledge and experience, fixed costs and financing, and the highest success rate in the business.

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.
