Description

Today, Jacqueline, who has always wanted to tell her story on a fertility podcast, is checking that goal off her list. She starts by telling Ali about her husband's battle with kidney cancer, and the very interesting, very lucky way his cancer was discovered. Then she explains how male factor infertility came into play (in the form of low sperm count), what happened when she went through IVF, the extreme anxiety of pregnancy after IVF, and, after having two babies, the moral dilemma of having more embryos on ice. TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:Infertility; infertility trauma; IVF; IUI; hyperstimulation; kidney cancer; male factor infertility; low sperm count; normalizing the infertility conversation; traumatic pregnancy; the anxiety of pregnancy after infertility; self-care; frozen embryos. EPISODE SPONSORS:FERTILITY RALLY @fertilityrallyNo one should go through infertility alone.

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.
