  • Invaluable knowledge and conversations

    I loved the conversation with Shania. Especially the discussion about how a person’s degrading fertility over time influences their decision to accept a life partner who may not be right for them. As a single person in my 30s, I know that fertility is on a lot of people’s minds. Proactive fertility preservation can maybe reduce anxiety amongst people searching for their life partner. But first, they would need to know where to start. This podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP103: Melina's story: Embryo donation is a beautiful path to parenthood
Q: How are you going to talk to your daughter about her story? And how did you present this concept of embryo adoption to, let's say, other people in your family?
Melina has talked about her daughter's origins since birth and reads children's books about embryo donation with her. She plans to explain more as her daughter gets older, emphasizing that she was always wanted and loved. Family and friends were generally receptive, though some needed information about the process.
EP103: Melina's story: Embryo donation is a beautiful path to parenthood
Q: What was it like going from, I really want to have a baby with my own eggs, which was the original goal, to I am embracing this option of embryo adoption?
After three IVF rounds yielded one low-grade embryo and its transfer failed, Melina and her husband recognized the pattern and looked for another way to become parents. Egg donation was beyond their budget, while embryo donation was more affordable and aligned with their desire to raise a child regardless of genetic connection.
EP93: Sean's story: The path from infertility to Father's Day
Q: How did you support Brittany through the IVF process, and what could others learn from that experience?
Sean describes practical support (driving to appointments, handling medications, and creating rituals), emotional support, and staying engaged, highlighting the importance of communication and shared goals in maintaining partnership.
EP89: Holding space for loss: Navigating miscarriage with Dara Roth Edney, Social Worker & Psychotherapist
Q: How should clinicians talk about pregnancy loss to avoid blame and shame and to validate patient experiences?
The discussion emphasizes saying things like 'this is not your fault,' using inclusive language, validating grief across different kinds of losses, and balancing information with empathy to avoid minimizing anyone's experience.
EP89: Holding space for loss: Navigating miscarriage with Dara Roth Edney, Social Worker & Psychotherapist
Q: What can partners do to support someone experiencing a pregnancy loss, while also taking care of themselves?
The guest advises recognizing each person's needs, encouraging open communication, and suggesting concrete forms of support (like groceries or accompanying to appointments) while the partner also attends to their own emotional needs, including seeking therapy if helpful.
