Description

Today, Ali talks to her friend Heidy Best, a fellow Chicagoan and Fertility Rally member, about her four miscarriages, genetic testing, battling secondary infertility, the shitty sex education they both got as young women, and how Heidy and her husband dealt with loss after loss and loss after loss after loss. She tells Ali about having her amazing son, Oliver, the heartbreak of not being able to give him a sibling (yet), and what's next for her, now that she has two embabies on ice. SPONSORS: FERTILITY RALLY www.fertilityrally.com and @fertilityrally, offers24/7 Community, Content and Curated Events. Give yourself or a fellow infertility warrior the gift of support while navigating your journey.

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.
