Description

Today's episode features a conversation with Jamie, an Atlanta-based realtor who is in a same sex marriage with Kathy, who is 30 years her senior. Jamie explains to Ali how she and Kathy met and fell in love when Jamie was in her early 20s, what happened when they started to try to have children, and where they are now. Jamie's story includes her diagnosis of PCOS, 10 IUIs with 2 or 3 different sperm donors, pursuing fostering and adoption, an ectopic pregnancy, a miscarriage around 7 weeks, and finally, a healthy baby girl, born in December 2020. EPISODE SPONSOR: Fertility Rally, @fertilityrally offering 24/7 Community, Content and Curated Events. Give yourself or a fellow infertility warrior the gift of support while navigating your journey.

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.
