Infertility And Me sheds light on the struggles of infertility in a safe space. Monique chats with guests about reproductive justice, pregnancy loss/miscarriage, male factor infertility, rare conditions such as MRKH, endometriosis, LGBTQ+ paths to parenthood, single moms by choice, and what happens when fertility friends walk away childless. Occasionally, experts appear on the show to offer tips and advice.
Our goal is to normalize (in)fertility conversations to validate, give hope, and create a community where no one is left silently suffering. Your host is Monique Farook, an IVF mom to one and infertility advocate.

Would you TTC for an extended time, say, more than five years and would you continue into your 40’s? In this episode Mandy Refvik shares her thoughts, feelings, and craziest TTC (trying to conceive) moments over the course of ten years.
Mandy ran into ample hurdles along the way. She states on one of her Instagram posts: “At first, my doctors told me I was “too old” to get pregnant, “too old” to pursue IVF. But I knew my body, and I knew it was worth a try. So I did it anyway.”
Brandy and her husband embarked on their path to family expansion and did so by going abroad to Barbados to seek assisted reproductive care. After years of struggling to get pregnant and 3 rounds of IVF, they welcomed their first child, a baby girl when Mandy was 42.

In this unfiltered podcast about infertility, Brooklyn-based journalist and mom-of-two Ali Prato, who went through secondary infertility and IVF herself, talks to women—and some men—about the messy, frustrating, painful, heartbreaking, absurd and sometimes hilarious journey to have a baby. Or in some cases, to not have a baby. Each episode tells a different story about family building, getting real about miscarriages, egg freezing, sperm and egg donation, IUIs, endometriosis, male factor infertility, adoption, surrogacy, genetic testing, single parenting by choice, LGBTQ+ fertility, living childless not by choice, depression, relationship issues, money issues, jealousy, PTSD, and so much more. Ali covers all of the outcomes in this safe, non-judgement zone: the happy endings, the soul-crushingly sad ones, and the ones still in limbo.

We are your hosts, Meg & Sara. Two relatable women on a mission to unpack the real and raw truths of infertility, pregnancy after loss, motherhood & everything in between. We’ve both experienced our own losses on our journeys to motherhood, and will be sharing our own struggles and truths in an effort to help women feel less alone. We both felt isolated and unsupported and craved a space where we felt understood, so our goal is to create that space. We promise not to throw silver linings at you or wrap anything up in a pretty bow, while also realizing the importance of hope and faith and aim to create balance between the two. Our purpose is to create a safe haven for women who have experienced infertility, pregnancy and/or infant loss. As mentioned, we’ll be discussing our own stories as well as welcoming other women to share theirs and all the different journeys taken to “becoming mama”. We will unpack how to navigate life after loss including topics such as; ways to heal, trying to conceive again, relationships with significant others, friends and family and so much more. If you’ve experienced infertility and/or loss, this podcast is for you. If you’re a friend or family member of someone going through this process and looking for ways to offer comfort or support them on their journey, this podcast is for you too. New episodes release every Monday. Please rate, review & subscribe to stay updated.

We’re Matt and Stacy Barnes and with two sets of twins four and under, we know all too well how hard parenting can be! Having never received the operating manuals for our kids (we figure the hospital must have lost them), we decided that a podcast would be a great place to share what we’ve learned and, more importantly, steal all of the great ideas we can get our hands on from our listeners. (Basically, we’re crowdsourcing parenting.) So, jump on in for stories of going from zero to four kids in 17 months; working through infertility, IVF and surrogacy; juggling our careers with that of our kids’ (our son Wells played Baby Jack on “This Is Us”); figuring out how to get four kids to eat the same dinner; and so much more! (And then send us your suggestions about how to do all of that better.) Join our podcast village and share the parenting journey, because, as we all know, parenting is hard!
