Taking a break from fertility treatments can be devastating because you feel like you are already behind. Listen in as we talk about ways you might have to take a break, not by choice, and times you might decide to take a voluntary break.

Interview with Vann- IVF Coordinator
In this week's episode, Madison welcomes Vann Gilbert onto the show! Vann holds a special place in Madison's heart for many reasons, one of which is that Vann was Madison's first nurse.

Currently serving as an IVF coordinator at a fertility clinic, Vann continues to touch women's lives every day. With years of experience and having undergone IVF herself, Vann and her husband are parents to twin boys, a result of their own IVF journey.

Customer Reviews
Love this podcast!
The world needed this podcast! So so thankful to know we are not alone in the club we didn’t sign up for. The vulnerability and also wise words from Madison and Morgan are a breath of fresh air. Can’t wait to hear more!
Sense of community
Infertility can feel incredibly isolating, I often found it difficult to build connections or talk to someone who understands. The community that Morgan and Madison are building through this pod is incredible, and I love listening to their stories and anecdotes. Definitely makes the journey feel less lonely.
Amazing resource and comforting listen
Madison and Morgan do an amazing job of being both incredibly educational and comforting for those walking this road. They provide information that is surprisingly hard to access in the process of pursuing treatment for infertility in addition to to helping those outside of this experience learn to be better support for their loved ones. I laughed, I cried, I related, and I learned. Well worth the listen!
