Fertility rates for women over 40 have nearly doubled in the last 30 years, but age is still the biggest factor when it comes to conception.

EP 49 | Keri’s IVF Journey: Unexplained Infertility and No Answers

In today’s episode, we sit down with Keri who began her fertility journey at just 25 young, hopeful, and completely unaware of how complex things would become. Despite running every test imaginable, the results always came back “normal.” But deep down, she knew something wasn’t right.

She opens up about the emotional toll of unexplained infertility, the shock of an ectopic pregnancy during IVF, and the deep frustration of having no clear answers, only more questions and shares what it’s like to be stuck in the grey area of infertility.  DISCLAIMER: please refer to your medical professional for medical advice as this podcast is based on individual personal experiences.

EP 44 | Elizabeth Carr: Life as the First US IVF Baby & What She Wants You to Know
In this heartwarming and honest conversation, we sit down with Elizabeth Car, the very first baby born through IVF in the United States. Elizabeth shares the incredible story of how her parents made history, what it was like growing up with the world watching, and how she turned that spotlight into a lifelong mission to educate and advocate. We talk about the challenges her family faced, the pressure of being a “first,” and how the fertility space has changed (and what still needs to change). Elizabeth opens up about the stigma that still surrounds infertility, the emotional weight some families carry, and why it’s so important to talk openly, with our communities and with our kids, about how our families come to be. Elizabeth’s story is not only a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come in fertility science, it’s also a testament to the strength, advocacy, and compassion she continues to bring to this space. Her work is nothing short of inspiring, and this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

EP 42 | Patient vs Doctor: We ask our Fertility Specialist Dr Charley Zheng all of our burning unanswered questions
We’re back with our trusted Fertility Specialist, Dr. Charley Zheng, someone who has supported both of us through our own fertility journeys, for a deeply honest and, at times, controversial conversation. In this episode, we ask Charley all the burning, unanswered questions we’ve been holding onto, the ones that so many patients think about but rarely get to discuss openly with their doctor. Together, we unpack the emotional weight of fertility treatment, from the desperation that leads people to try unproven add-ons in hopes of improving their chances, to the complex reasons behind “clinic shopping” and how hard it can be to make decisions when so much is uncertain. We also address the recent embryo mix-up that devastated the fertility community, how it could happen, what safeguards exist, and what this means for trust in the system. Charley speaks openly and humbly from both a clinical and personal perspective, offering a rare glimpse into what it’s like to be a doctor who has also walked this road. In a powerful moment of vulnerability, he shares how his own fertility experience has shaped the way he cares for his patients, with empathy, honesty, and compassion that comes from truly understanding what it’s like to be on the other side. This is a heartfelt and important conversation, and one with someone we are eternally grateful for in helping make our families possible.
