Description

Ali is talking to best friends this week! Today, her guests are Ronit and Vida, who met while working together at Nike in Los Angeles, who both come from health and fitness backgrounds, and who both found themselves going through infertility at the same time. Today, they both share their infertility journeys, including how they each had a miscarriage one week apart, how they supported each other as best friends, how the losses affected their relationships with their husbands, and how they blamed themselves. They're also going to discuss how after delving into some deep research and trying to figure out the root cause of their fertility issues, they decided to found a company called We Natal. WeNatal is the first prenatal supplement intentionally optimized for her and for him. Reimagining the gender paradigms around fertility and pregnancy, WeNatal is shifting prenatal care from women-centered to couples-centered—from Me to We. For more, check out https://wenatal.com/TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:Miscarriage; infertility; sperm health; male factor infertility; pregnancy after miscarriage; prenatal supplements; genetic abnormalies; "It Starts With the Egg" book. EPISODE SPONSORS:FERTILITY RALLY @fertilityrally www.fertilityrally.comNo 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.
