unfertilit‪y‬ Noni Martins

In this episode, I speak with Karabo about her journey with and recurrent miscarriages. Karabo is a founder of Hannah - You are not alone which she started together with her husband. Hannah - You are not alone seeks to provide support to those struggling with infertility and to bring awareness about a disease that burdens many due to the stigma and shame.

In this episode, I speak with Jasmine about her infertility, IVF & pregnancy loss journey. After a miscarriage and a second IVF round that ended with no embryos for transfer, her 3rd IVF cycle was successful and she is currently pregnant. Jasmine's focus is on diversifying feeds, for all women of color to amplify their voices and to highlight the importance of mental health when it comes to infertility.

In this episode, I speak with Natalie who went through 12 unsuccessful IVF cycles & 7 miscarriages. She now has a beautiful baby boy from her 13th IVF cycle. Natalie is passionate about black women advocating for themselves and taking charge of their fertility and normalising the narrative on infertility.

In this episode, I discuss the outcome of the second embryo transfer that we did in December 2020.

Infertility & IVF through the voices of Black women

To give an idea of what is to come, I am sharing 4 bonus episodes from a mini-series of unconventional fertility stories, that I hosted on Instagram Live during the summer of 2020. In this episode, my husband joins me and we answer questions from my sister about our infertility & IVF experience so far.
