Description

Today, Ali is talking to Catie and Ryan, who she met when Catie joined the Fertility Rally family. Catie and Ryan talk about everything that lead up to having their baby, who is actually going to be here any day now — from unexplained infertility to five IUIs to Ryan's "super sperm" to miscarriage to the anxieties of pregnancy after loss. Ryan also talks about writing his book, "Finally! An infertility Book for Dudes," which is funny, relatable and so necessary in this infertility landscape. Check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/FINALLY-Infertility-Book-Dudes-Perspective/dp/B0B2TP64FM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ERAIP4F4X4PF&keywords=finally+an+infertility+book+for+dudes&qid=1661975450&sprefix=finally+an+infer%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-1TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:Unexplained infertility; IUI; IVF; Clomid; sperm health; miscarriage; pregnancy after miscarriage; pregnancy after loss; men talking about infertility. 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.
