Listen Later

On today’s episode, Kristin and her husband Tyler get vulnerable and share their IVF journey. From their secondary infertility diagnosis to a devastating pregnancy loss to the IVF that led to their third baby, be prepared for a raw and emotional look at what SO many couples go through trying to conceive. If you’re going through this right now, or you’ve been through it before, we hope this episode is the warm hug that reminds you that you’re NOT ALONE and there is *absolutely nothing* shameful about infertility! PLUS:

  • A detailed look at the IVF process from injections to egg retrieval to embryo transfer
  • What to *avoid* saying to someone struggling with infertility
  • How to support a friend or family member going through the IVF process
  • Why secondary infertility doesn’t get proper airtime and deserves WAY more attention
  • The No. 1 hardest thing about the IVF process for Kristin and Tyler
  • Pineapple cores, McDonald’s French fries and more - rituals and old wives tales that Kristin picked up from the infertility community along the way
