The Infertile Mafia: Real talk about infertility, IVF, and trying to conceive.

Exactly what I need. Currently bingeing 🙂

My husband and I have unexplained infertility and have been TTC for about three years. I was experiencing extreme anxiety recently (like panic attacks, insomnia, etc) because I had to get yet another HSG and possible tubal cannulation (after an AWFUL first experience in which it was discovered I had a blocked right Fallopian tube) and listening to the episode about “Things I Wish I Had Known” and the episode about Endo with the hilarious Canadian lady made me laugh (really laugh) for the first time in weeks! I was much calmer going into my procedure and - MIRACLE OF MIRACLES- both my tubes showed up open this time!! Thank the good Lord for these lovely ladies and the hilarious, normalizing spin they put on infertility. ❤️

All I’m getting out of this podcast is that if you don’t do IVF, you won’t get pregnant. I feel like they forgot the feeling of emptiness and sensitivity during time of being infertile. I understand they’re trying to be “real”, but you can be real without forgetting about fellow TTC-ers that are still battling through difficult times of negative tests. I also feel like they make up information, or go off what they hear and not scientific facts. Sorry, just wasn’t for me.

stumbled upon this pod and binged all past episodes and am so thrilled they are coming out with new ones. you ladies are relatable in a time of isolation and fun to listen to, thank you for your real talk!!
