What To Expect When You're Injecting by Fiercely Infertile

#103 The Second One Isn't So Easy with Emily O'Donohoe


Listen Later

Meet Emily O'Donohoe, an avid listener to now a welcome guest on the show, here sharing her raw and honest journey through the complexities of secondary infertility. Emily's story is one that so many of you will relate to - from the joy of her first successful pregnancy after an ectopic, to the devastating loss of miscarriage, and now navigating the confusing world of unexplained secondary infertility. This conversation dives deep into the unique challenges of secondary infertility - the guilt, the isolation, the assumptions others make when you already have one child. We explore how different this journey feels, how the medical system treats you differently, and why 'at least you have one' cuts deeper than people realise. Emily's honesty about the emotional toll, the impact on her existing child, and the way secondary infertility reshapes your entire family dynamic is both heartbreaking and healing. Sometimes the second chapter of your fertility story is harder than the first. Emily's courage in sharing reminds us all that every journey matters, every struggle is valid, and community is everything.
