Cry It Out Loud: Navigating Infertility, Miscarriage, Stillbirth, Infant Loss & Pregnancy After Loss

Infertility is never just a medical diagnosis, it’s a journey of grief, trauma, resilience, and hope. In this episode of Cry It Out Loud! by Chasing the Rainbows, we sit down with Dr. Mark Trolice, reproductive endocrinologist, owner of The IVF Center in Florida, and most importantly, a father who knows firsthand the heartbreak and healing of infertility.

From IVF and IUI treatments to the emotional toll of repeated setbacks, Dr. Trolice opens up about his own path to parenthood. The struggles, the breakthroughs, and how his story as a patient transformed the way he cares for others as a physician.

Together, we explore:

• The emotional and financial realities of IVF and infertility treatments

• How trauma and grief shape the infertility journey

• The importance of compassion in medicine

• Options for building a family, including adoption

• Why breaking the silence around infertility and loss matters for every family

This intimate conversation is a reminder that behind every statistic is a family fighting for hope.

✨ Whether you’re navigating infertility yourself, supporting a loved one, or working in women’s health, this episode will inspire and connect you.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of Cry It Out Loud, we sit down with infertility warrior and social media trailblazer Andrea Leon (@hotmessivfmom) for a powerful conversation on baby loss - miscarriage, stillbirth, IVF trauma, and what it really means to grieve in public.

Andrea opens up about how she used her voice—and her platform—to break silence around recurrent loss, the pressure to “be okay,” and the healing power of being witnessed.

We talk shame, triggers, trolls, social media boundaries, and what she wishes every person knew about supporting someone in grief.

🔥 Why this episode matters: • The algorithm may favor polished reels, but healing is messy • Andrea shares what not to say to a loss parent • Grief doesn’t expire—and neither does your right to speak

🎧 This one is for the mom who’s holding her breath in the waiting room.
For the dad staring at an empty nursery.
For the parents who are still parents, even when the world forgets.

Welcome to Cry It Out Loud!, the podcast where we get real about infertility, baby loss, and the journey of navigating pregnancy after loss. I’m Bernice, and here at Chasing the Rainbows, we believe in holding space for the stories that often go unheard—the raw, the painful, and the deeply personal. Because when you’ve been through the unimaginable, you deserve a community that truly understands.

Today, we’re cracking the silence on a topic that deeply affects so many in our community, yet often doesn’t receive the attention it truly deserves—a true infertility journey. March is a month dedicated to raising awareness around endometriosis, surrogacy, and cervical health. These crucial health issues are often overlooked, and we’re honored to have Dae with us on the podcast to discuss their personal battle with infertility and the emotional manipulation that many go through—gaslighting in the infertility process.

Dae is a true survivor who faced years of infertility struggles, unanswered questions, and dismissive doctors with incredible strength and resilience. Despite emotional exhaustion and countless challenges, Dae never gave up on advocating for their health. Their story is one of courage, and by sharing it, they hope to empower others who feel isolated in their own journey.

In this episode, we unpack how gaslighting manifests in the infertility process, the impact it has on mental health, and why it’s so crucial to speak out and seek support. Dae's journey is a powerful reminder that you are not alone, and it’s okay to challenge medical professionals and societal expectations when it comes to your health.

Tune in as we dive deep into Dae's personal story, discuss the importance of advocating for your health, and shed light on how we can support each other through this painful, yet powerful, journey.
