Description

Today, Ali is talking to Jamie B., a.k.a. Glitter Enthusiast, about the long and winding infertility journey to having her twin boys. Jamie talks about her three IUIs, moving onto IVF, miscarriage, failed transfers, and feeling like everywhere she went, everyone was pregnant. She also talks about being in the "jail of your own anxiety," how being pregnant after infertility is like "waiting for a miscarriage," how watching "The Bachelor" helped while she was grieving, and the importance of therapy. Jamie then discusses the unique style of art she's created, inspired by her own infertility journey, in which she uses sterile IVF needles to create art and decor—much of which winds up in the nurseries of babies who've been wanted so badly for so long. For more on Jamie, check out @glitterenthusiast and https://glitterenthusiast.com/TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:Miscarriage; infertility; anxiety and grief; IUIs; IVF; failed transfers; unexplained infertility; pregnancy after infertility and loss; marriage; therapy. 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.
