Description
On today's episode, Ali talks to Marilyn B. Gomez about her six-year-long journey to motherhood, which lasted from 2009 to 2015. Marilyn, who hosts the Mama Vida Podcast @mamavidapodcast and makes cool infertility tees, hats, jewelry and more at @infertiletees, discusses her high points and low points, including how much holidays suck while #ttc; the guilt she felt about whether genetic testing means "playing god;" how therapy and visualization exercises helped her cope; how grieving differently from her husband drove them apart; and how, after she finally got pregnant with her daughter, Mila, she experienced the deep anxiety of pregnancy after infertility. Ali and Marilyn also talk about the difficult decision some people have to make when they've got more embryos on ice.
