    Ep 33: Navigating Genetic Complications, Fragile X, BRCA, IVF and Marken’s Story

    Amy sits down with her longtime friend Marken Greenwood Bellows to share her journey through an unexpected diagnosis of a Fragile X premutation and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) at just 36. Together, they unpack the emotional rollercoaster of infertility and IVF, how the FMR1 gene premutation impacts fertility and risk for POI, and the reality of navigating the financial and insurance barriers so many face when pursuing treatment. They also dive into experimental options like ovarian PRP, the gaps in women’s healthcare, and why early fertility testing matters. Marken also shares about her resilience, self-advocacy and the message she wants others to hear: the sooner you have information, the more choices you have when it comes to family-building. 🔗 Resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠About the Fragile X Premutation⁠⁠ About the Fragile X Premutation⁠⁠ and FXPOI⁠⁠ Fragile X Syndrome Genetic Testing ⁠⁠Journal of Ovarian Research Study⁠⁠ ⭐️ If the pod has helped you feel seen, please follow and rate us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    Ep 26: Author Jared Walker on writing about grief and infertility

    Order your copy of The Empty Nest on Amazon or TikTok shop: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@the.empty.nest.bo⁠ In this episode of FriedEggs, we sit down with Jared Walker, author of The Empty Nest—hands down one of the best books on infertility and grief. Jared gets real about the male infertility experience (because yes, guys feel all the feels too) and the messy, complicated emotions that both partners face but don’t often talk about. We dive into how he and his wife turned years of infertility struggle into an illustrated book that’s as honest as it is heart-wrenching. Jared also spills the tea on self-publishing, the unexpected flood of support from the TikTok infertility community, and how writing can be a powerful way to cope, connect, and maybe even heal a little. If you’re tired of the usual infertility stories and want something raw, relatable, and honest, this one’s for you. ✨ If FriedEggs has helped you feel seen, please follow and rate us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
