POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
FOUR HUNDRED EPISODES of INFERTILE AF! When I launched Infertile AF back in March 2019, I had no idea what I was doing (literally), let alone what this podcast would become. But I knew that the world was lacking real, raw, stories about infertility and family building through ART, and I also knew that if I expected people to get vulnerable and share their deepest, darkest experiences with me, I had to go first. I knew that hearing other people’s stories has always gotten me through my hardest times. And I hoped this podcast could do that for others. In episode one, I told my secondary infertility and IVF story, and how fucking hard and sad and depressed I was when having baby number two, who I wanted more than anything in the world, wasn’t happening. I will never forget recording it at my little white table in Brooklyn. Seven and a half years, more than three million downloads, and hundreds of incredible conversations later, here we are. Through it all, the mission has stayed the same: to make people feel less alone. Next week, we have a VERY special guest to celebrate episode 400. I can’t wait for you to hear it. (Any guesses?) I am so incredibly grateful to every single person who has trusted me with their story, and to every single one of you who has listened, shared an episode, sent me a DM, or told a friend about the pod. I’m also so grateful to all of my sponsors and brand partners over the years, many of whom I still work with, and have become dear friends. If you have a sec, I’d love to hear: What has Infertile AF meant to you? Has an episode helped you through a tough time? Made you laugh when you really needed it? Made you feel seen? Do you have a favorite episode or guest? Anyone you want to see next? (Yourself?) Tell me in the comments or send me a DM. Your stories mean more to me than you know! Thank you for everything and for giving me this platform. There are many more stories to tell. Sending you all deep gratitude and so much love.💗

Today, on the anniversary of the October 7 massacre, I am haunted by grief and so many other emotions. But there is a memory from that month that continues to bring warmth to my heart. At the annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, my colleagues took a moment away from an incredibly busy conference to come together. I will never forget it. One thing grief has taught me is that carrying it alone only makes it heavier. There is something profoundly healing about simply standing together, bearing witness, and reminding one another that we are not alone. I remain deeply grateful to everyone who shared this moment. May remembrance deepen our compassion rather than our divisions. May we never become numb to the suffering of others. And may we continue to choose humanity, peace, and healing for all. ❤️ #asrm #october7

November → now. The first article announced the plans for a new birth center. This week’s article covered a local community event where @joshuakleinmd and I were invited as guest speakers to discuss the birthing center, physiologic birth, and expanding birth options for families. A lot has happened between these two articles. What was a vision has become a reality, with so many beautiful births since—including another beautiful baby born at the center just this morning! #birthingcenter #birthcenter #naturalbirth #birthisnormal #birthingfromwithin

Behold! Flashback to 2021! Since AOC (yes!) announced that she’s freezing her eggs I wanted to post this silly oldie but goodie & let folks know if you have any questions, I’m here to help! I froze my eggs at the same age my grandmother became a grandmother-42. On March 12, 2020, I took the train to lower Manhattan during morning rush hour to get an endometrial biopsy for potential uterine cancer cells (I ended up having to go on progesterone as a precautionary measure, but all is good now!). During that visit, my doctor told me that if I wanted to have kids I needed to do it now. And that if I wanted/needed to wait, then I needed to freeze my eggs, like, yesterday. We both saw the irony about preserving some sort of legacy as the WHO had just announced that Covid was a global pandemic earlier that morning. Oooof. I was stepping into a pandemic in New York City, 3000 miles from home, facing the music that maybe the window to become a Mom had officially shut. I remember walking all the way home to Red Hook, Brooklyn questioning everything. This is also when I had the pet chickens, Carol and Jeanette. If only I could just use their eggs. Man, what a surreal time… As many of you may already know, freezing eggs is insanely expensive and I did not have the funds. Between saving up, making content for my fertility clinic @extendfertility AND invaluable help from my mom, I was able to put my eggs on ice. I also shot the whole experience and created trailer for a series that hasn’t seen the light of day but now I’m wondering if it’s time to revisit since I’m hoping to defrost my eggs later this year. But I’m also know I’m old so let’s keep those fingers crossed! Original vid caption: Huevos on Ice! Day 5 of fertility SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS... not gonna lie, I’m definitely very bloated and my ovaries feel a heavy with egg. Très sexy, no? Tonight I increased my meds to include Cetrotide, 3 vials of Menopur, & 450 units of Gonzo-f. Tomorrow I have my third ultrasound and blood work to determine how many more meds I’ll take in the remaining days. Fingers crossed we get a good number of huevos to freeze! #scicomm #extendfertility #eggfreezing #part
