    About Me:
    I met my husband in 2009, we married in 2010, and we've been a couple of parental wannabes ever since.
    Years of trying to conceive have brought confusion, frustration, sadness, bitterness, and heartache. We've gone through multiple failed fertility treatments over the years, including an IUI and three rounds of IVF, multiple canceled cycles and seven losses before seeking out an expert in reproductive immunology to help solve the riddle that was our infertility. After an extensive panel of blood work, Dr. Braverman suspected I had endometriosis, which was confirmed by a laparoscopy in January of 2019. One month later, to our shock, we were pregnant naturally!
    We pray that our story brings you hope that someday you, too, will achieve your dream!

    S2E14: Kate's Story

    In this episode, I speak with a woman who prefers to remain anonymous, we’ll call her Kate. She share’s her story about being a Native American living in Alaska, suffering a miscarriage and a chemical pregnancy, and making peace with living child free. This is unlike any story we’ve shared on the podcast, so I truly hope you enjoy!

So thankful for this podcast

Finding this podcast has been such a blessing. Being able to laugh while dealing with infertility is hard, but Candace and Daniel make it easy. Thanks for all that you guys have done for this community!

Lighthearted view on infertility

Candace and Daniel are hysterical! If you’ve had the unfortunate luck to be apart of team infertile, it’s so refreshing to have a lighthearted podcast to listen to that’s relatable. It also provides our friends and family with information and a perspective that doesn’t feel so uptight and depressing. If you’re not listening to this, my only question is - why the heck not? Candace has been an incredible support system to the infertility community on Instagram, launched a website to benefit the community, roots everyone in, brings comedy to the stressful times - all while going through it all herself. She’s incredible! 💕
