Motherhood Meets Medicine

89. A Journey Through Infertility with Lindsey Horning

Listen Later

This podcast episode is a little different today as I want to share a story from someone in our community who has faced challenges that I know many of you are also experiencing. I have Lindsey Horning on the podcast to share her personal experiences with infertility and her story of how she was able to give birth to twins through IVF.


Lindsey is a self employed hair stylist and new mom to twins. She’s been married to her husband since 2015 and they live in Michigan. They started trying for a family immediately and ended up going through infertility for 6 years before conceiving their twins through IVF.


Hopefully after listening to Lindsey’s story you too can have the hope to become pregnant yourself if you are struggling with infertility as well.


In this episode we discuss:


  • Having high FSH or low AMH and what that entails while trying to get pregnant.
  • The wellness industry and how it sometimes prays on women like Lindsey.
  • How doctors can have different opinions when it comes to infertility and whom to trust.
  • The financial burden that families are hit with during IVF 
  • The side effects of infertility treatments and how it can cause depression and/or anxiety.
  • A reminder that every woman's pregnancy story is different and it’s not always easy.
