This week Kate and Karyne decided that the needles at the fertility clinic weren’t enough, so they made acupuncture appointments. They also celebrated Karyne’s grand finale by doing her egg retrieval! But the real exciting news? Someone actually entered Karyne’s contest. Swag is on the way!

Kate and Karyne went to Karyne’s monitoring appointment and found out that her follicles are growing and everything is going according to plan. They also picked up their sperm (the baker!) and transported it in a giant cooler. No Jurassic Park canister, but they do have a ton of leftover dry ice.

Kate and Karyne had their baseline appointment, where they learned that one of Karyne's ovaries looks great ... and the other one is just there. But that's not a bad thing. This week they also answer a question they've gotten several times before, and discuss the many virtues of Spencer Pratt.

This week, Kate and Karyne share their tale of buying $4,200 worth of medicine, including what each drug does and how much it all cost. They also answer a listener question about fears they might have surrounding choosing a donor. What they don’t talk about this week? Spencer Pratt.

This week, Kate and Karyne give an overview of their reciprocal IVF process, chat about pricing for some of the meds they have to take, and Karyne gets starstruck (AGAIN) over Spencer Pratt. Plus, they share some comments and answer questions about birth control.

Kate and Karyne are making a baby! In the first episode, they talk about why they chose reciprocal IVF, how they selected their donor sperm (and bought it while on vacay! Poolside!), and Kate's non-existent veins.

Follow along every Tuesday as Kate and Karyne navigate reciprocal IVF using Karyne's eggs, unknown donor sperm, and Kate's uterus.
