A Raw, Honest Story About IVF, Surrogacy, & Having A Rainbow Baby


Listen Later

Author Phoebe Lapine shares her conception story in this Pros & Cons Of Having Kids episode, from experiencing multiple miscarriages, to working with a reproductive immunologist, to conceiving through IVF & surrogacy.

As a warning, we do discuss miscarriage in this episode, so if that’s a sensitive or triggering topic for you at this time, it may be best to sit this episode out. If that applies to you, I love you and I’ll see you on Wednesday.

  • The emotional weight of Phoebe’s first miscarriage, and how that informed the following three she experienced
  • What a reproductive immunologist is & the role they played in Phoebe’s conception journey
  • Phoebe’s full toolkit to keep herself physically & mentally healthy during such a difficult time
  • The important role that carbs play in stabilizing your hormones AND what to look for to find the most easily-digestible carbs in the grocery store
  • Exactly how much surrogacy costs & what you can expect an agency to do for you
  • How IVF hormone injections REALLY impact your health and body
  • A frank conversation about the ethical implications of surrogacy
  • How to best support a friend experiencing pregnancy loss–and what NOT to say
  • The surprising upsides and downsides of having a baby by surrogacy 
  • And so much more
  • For more from Phoebe, you can find her on Instagram at @phoebelapine or www.feedmephoebe.com. You can find her new cookbook, Carbivore, where books are sold.
