Today, Ali is talking to warrior mom Erin Bulcao about her real and raw fertility journey. Erin talks about how not ovulating led her to see a fertility specialist when she was in her late 20s, and why they recommended she start with IUIs. She talks about getting pregnant with triplets via IUI, and why it was recommended by her medical team, for the health of both Erin and her babies, that they reduce the pregnancy to twins. After discussing the aftermath of that decision and that procedure, as well as the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, Erin shares how she felt "horrible and embarrassed." She also shares the difficulties of bringing one twin home while the other was still in the hospital, when and why her marriage almost "crashed and burned," moving on to IVF, and the importance of switching clinics and advocating for herself. Erin also talks about more losses, including an excruciating miscarriage that seemingly lasted forever, and finally bringing home their rainbow baby, via a final round of IVF. TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:IUI; IUI success; triplet pregnancy; pregnancy reduction; twin pregnancy; NICU life; IVF; marriage issues; miscarriage; advocating for oneself; rainbow babiesEPISODE SPONSORS:FERTILITY RALLY @fertilityrally www.fertilityrally.comNo one should go through infertility alone.
