Description

Today Ali is talking to her very dear friend Taylor, who you might know from IG as @infertileandimpatient, and who Ali met when she joined Fertility Rally (@fertilityrally). Taylor has been through a ton, and today she tells Ali everything that happened leading up to the miracle birth of her twin girls, Quinn and Charlie. She talks about being blinded by miscarriage after miscarriage, being told by doctors that she had "bad luck," her diagnosis of a balanced translocation, the discovery of chronic endometritis, how she set a goal to make 10 embryos, and then how, in her words, making embryos became kind of an obsession. She also talks about pregnancy after infertility, being in the NICU with the twins, and the "survivor guilt" that comes along with having babies after infertility and loss. TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:Infertility; balanced translocation; chronic endometritis; IVF; miscarriage; recurrent miscarriage; pregnancy after infertility and loss; twin pregnancy; identical twinsEPISODE 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.
