Description

Today's guest is Amanda Warsavsky, whose infertility story includes her mother's infertility diagnosis (and a sister born through IVF), being blown off by a doctor at the age of 25 even though she knew there was something wrong, discovering she has PCOS, and the 7 failed IUIs she had before having her baby daughter. Amanda also talks about the devastating decision she made to terminate her pregnancy at 19 weeks because her baby son had a myriad of health issues. And now, how at almost 32 weeks pregnant, she is still not able to fully relax. Amanda is also talking about her new site, we-know.com, a place where people can go to ask questions and crowdsource advice on everything from travel to food to infertility. Sponsor: Fertility Rally, @fertilityrally, offering 24/7 Community, Content and Curated Events.

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.
