Infertile AF: Infertility and Modern Family Building through ART

Infertility Warrior Dr. Marcy Crouch, aka "The Down There Doc"


Listen Later

Dr. Marcy Crouch is a pelvic floor physical therapist, so she helps women prepare for delivery, get through their pregnancies with less pain, and much more. So you can imagine how difficult it was to go through infertility while working with pregnant women. Today on the show, Marcy tells Ali about her own journey, including going through IUIs, moving to the "big guns" of IVF, and her first heartbreaking miscarriage at 11 weeks. She also talks about being "a complete wreck," the "constant anxiety," and what happened when they moved to a new clinic. She also talks about getting pregnant through IVF, why she didn't want a baby shower; having her son, and then doing another transfer, which resulted in their second son.
