We spent years trying to get here. IVF. Waiting. Loss. One last embryo.

And when it finally worked, I thought the fear would disappear. It didn’t.

In this episode, I open up about what happens after the positive test — when you’re grateful, terrified, and realizing you’re about to become a dad… without having one of your own to lean on.

I talk about:

• The emotional whiplash after IVF success
• The fear and silence of the first trimester
• Guarded hope in the second trimester
• Panic, identity shifts, and responsibility in the third trimester
• Grieving a parent while becoming one
• The pressure men feel to “be strong” and not talk about it

This episode isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about sitting in the in-between — becoming a father while still figuring out who you are.

If you’re a dad, partner, or man navigating IVF, pregnancy, or loss… this one’s for you.
