    When the nest is empty: 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.

    In this follow-up episode, Amy shares part two of her IVF update—including what comes next after uncovering chronic uterine infections that may have been impacting her fertility for years.

We unpack the layered grief and fragile hope that come with shifting your vision of parenthood, and how she’s learning to move forward with softness and strength.

    It Takes Two: Why Men Should Be Taking Prenatals For Sperm Health with WeNatal Founders Ronit Menashe & Vida Delrahim

    Fertility isn’t a solo mission—and this week on the pod, we’re talking about what it really means to show up as a team. We’re joined by Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim, the co-founders of WeNatal, a doctor-backed prenatal supplement brand that’s putting male fertility and sperm health where it belongs: at the center of the conversation. We cover what sets WeNatal apart—clean, bioavailable supplements for men and women, couple-centered design, and an approach that treats fertility as a shared journey, not a solo project. Ronit and Vida also share their own stories of pregnancy loss and starting over, and how those experiences led them to reimagine what support should look like—physically, emotionally, and relationally. If you're deep in the IVF process, just starting out, or wondering if male supplements are worth it (spoiler: they are), this episode is a refreshingly honest look at fertility, partnership, and what’s possible when we stop thinking in silos.

    What is the EMMA/ALICE test? Amy finally gets some answers about what's happening in her uterus (part 1)

    In this deeply personal episode, Amy shares her EMMA/ALICE test results—and what they revealed about chronic uterine infections that may have been silently impacting her body since her miscarriage two and a half years ago. We talk about the emotional whiplash of paying $1,200 out of pocket for a test insurance won’t cover, the frustrating standard of care for Asherman’s syndrome, and how this newly uncovered information might change her IVF path going forward. We also dive into the role of AI in fertility research, how Deep Research from ChatGPT helped Amy validate her medical concerns, and the exhaustion of self-advocacy when your uterus becomes a case study. Other things we cover are friendship during fertility treatment, Kayti's baby shower, and entering the third trimester of an IVF pregnancy, how to stay grounded when your body feels like a medical mystery. 🤩 If you’re enjoying FriedEggs, please follow and rate the show on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
