Today, Ali is talking to Elena Ridley, a proud Donor Egg Mama and one of the OG members of the infertility Instagram community. Elena tells Ali her entire story, starting with meeting her husband in high school, the horrible motorcycle accident that delayed their family building plans, and what went wrong when they did start to try. She also talks about IUIs, why she started posting about infertility back in 2013, when not many people were doing it, her endometriosis, and making the decision to use an egg donor—who she happened to meet through social media. They also discuss relationship issues, what to consider when choosing an egg donor and how she bonded with the one they chose, the birth of her baby girl, Georgia, and what she thinks about epigenetics. If you enjoy this podcast, please SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW!
