In this special new year episode of the Pregnantish Podcast, team member Carolyn Kossow—whose studies focused on assisted reproductive technology and third-party reproduction—joins award-winning journalist and author of “Elusive Mommyhood”, Ginanne Brownell, to explore the evolving landscape of fertility. From the rise of "ethical IVF" and surrogacy and third-party reproduction trends around the world, to the long-overdue focus on sperm factors and male factor infertility, we examine how reproductive technology is advancing—and where access and policies still lag behind. With global population declines, shifting attitudes in countries like China (which once enforced a one-child policy and now supports IVF) and reproductive rights under threat in parts of the U.S., these conversations are now part of the zeitgeist– though still wildly misunderstood by the general public. 

As pregnantish celebrates 8 years as the first media platform to help people navigate infertility and modern family building, and marks over one billion reached globally, with our fertility focused content and education, we remain committed to storytelling as a catalyst for awareness, advocacy, and change.

Tune in as we unpack what’s next in the future of fertility—and why our voices are more important now than ever.
