Infertile AF: Infertility and Modern Family Building

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.

    Blair Nelson, Ali's Fertility Rally co-founder, on TFMR and having her "mosaic miracle" baby

    It's a very special episode! Ali's beloved PIBAC (Partner in Biz and Claw), Blair Nelson @fabivfmama, is back to share the third installment of her years-long infertility journey. Blair and Ali pick up where they left off during their last episode, in 2022, when Blair was pregnant with her son, Baron, but they had received devastating news that he had been diagnosed with a very rare condition called Limb Body Wall Complex. Blair talks about traveling from her home in Austin, TX to Colorado to undergo a Termination for Medical Reasons (TFMR). She talks about the amazing fellow TFMR mamas n this community who helped her navigate that difficult time, and how the procedure did not go exactly as planned, putting her life at risk. She shares how she and her husband, Will, transferred another embryo months later, although it did not implant. She also talks about deciding to transfer their "mighty mosaic" embryo, the advice she got from her doctors, and finally getting pregnant and having their miracle baby, Margot, in October 2024.   For more follow Blair at @fabivfmama and @fertilityrally  TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:  Infertility; TTC; TFMR; placenta accreta; embryo transfer; mosaic embryos; pregnancy after loss; Roe v.

    Musician and Infertility Warrior Kina Grannis on Infertility, Anxiety and IVF

    Today, Ali is talking to the brilliant singer-songwriter-guitarist Kina Grannis about her five year-long infertility journey. Kina talks about adopting a super clean diet and reading all the books before she started to try getting pregnant; why she was hesitant to share her infertility journey at first; and how the mention of the word, "IVF" made her want to die. She talks about going through IVF transfers; how "holding it all in was like this poison pressure cooker inside of me," and her "needle phobia." She also talks about finally getting pregnant; the text she sent her friends when pregnancy after infertility felt very scary; and writing infertility-related songs, including the beautiful, "In the Waiting."  For more, go to www.kinagrannis.com  IG: @kinagrannis  EPISODE SPONSORS: WORK OF ART Ali's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/books Do not miss Ali's children’s book about IVF!

About

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.
