Fab Fertility Blair Nelson

Heyyyyy youuuuu guyyysssss - we are SO happy to be back and better than ever for season 2. Alex brings us up to speed on her surrogacy journey, we discuss our Starbucks orders and our romper requirements and give advice on fertility fundraising, answer listener questions and leave you with all the randomness you've been missing!

Holy shit! It is the LAST episode of season 1! Alex and I have quite the spirited conversation about butts so buckle up. Alex shares about her current IVF cycle and surrogacy journey, we get into how to cope with Mother's Day triggers, answer a few questions from all of you, and round out the season with a conspiracy theory and the introduction of our NEW hashtag #WUITTHEHELL

I asked you all to vote on what topic you wanted covered on the last Wednesday episode of season 1, and you all chose my top advocacy tips. While this episode isn't long, it captures the most critical tips I have learned over the past three years and used in my own journey to advocate for what I wanted and what my body needed. I hope you can apply some of these strategies into your own journey!

This episode is a hot mess - from our basket of bothers, to Alex's in depth (& very exciting) surrogacy/IVF update to answering serious & silly questions submitted by you, we cover a lot of shit! We answer how to deal with shit hurdles during treatments & also what to do what you are getting differing opinions from different doctors. Also, in case you're curious what names we think are sexy & what animals we think would be rude if they could talk, this is the episode for you - LOL! Enjoy!

There is only so much a doctor/nurse who have never experienced these procedures can tell you. Only warriors who have been through it can dish the real deets. After going through 5 retrievals & 5 transfers & talking to SO many of you through Fab Fertility & Fertility Rally, I feel very equipped to cover this topic. This was by far one of the most voted for topics when I asked you all what you wanted to hear in future episodes. I hope this episode leaves you educated &/or shaking your head, YES! 

On this episode, Alex and I laugh... A LOT. We answer a couple of questions about the plan for FFIF going forward, discuss NIAW and answer the listener question, "Why the wait between retrievals and genetic test results sucks so hard?" We then have quite the spirited conversation about butt stuff including plastic poop hammocks and talk about the "right way" to say certain words and ask YOU to cast your vote on IG...
