At the ripe age of 33, I would have laughed at anyone that tried to tell me that it would take more than two rounds to have my family. After all, fertility wasn't my problem. My husband was the one with a low sperm count. Boy, was I wrong? IVF can be so overwhelming. Yes, it's science, and it exists to help you grow your family. However, there is a misconception that because science is involved, the probability of error is low.

Join me on the FU Project Podcast this week to learn about my HUGE IVF mistake (by the way, it's a big one) and the lessons I learned from it.

What You’ll Learn

• My HUGE IVF Mistake
• How to find humor in the journey
• That little changes can have surprising results
• Nothing needs to be perfect
• And much more!

“Nothing needs to be perfect. There are gifts in everything.”

Meet Mari.

When we met, Mari was sad and angry. Mari and her husband had been trying for a year to conceive, but hadn't had any success. At that point they decided it was best to have some tests done. Doctors diagnosed Mari with unexplained infertility and recommended IVF, but Mari and her husband weren't ready.

Instead they continued to try naturally, followed by a couple of failed IUIs. They did eventually get pregnant, but the pregnancy ended in miscarriage. At that point they knew they wanted help and support as they embarked on their IVF journey.

Join me this week for another inspiring story and learn how Mari and her husband found the help and support they needed to create the family of their dreams.

What You’ll Learn

• Why prioritizing your health and mindset are so important,
• The value of having support on your fertility journey,
• How you can go from being sad and angry to being fully in love with life,
• What it's like to have a baby during a pandemic,
• And much more!

"It's making sure I prioritize my health and my mindset, I know how important and how essential that is..."

- Mari

HAPPY NATIONAL INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK!!

1 in 8 couples face fertility issues. That's why National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) and the work RESOLVE does is so important.

As anyone that listens to this podcast knows, it took me 10 rounds of IVF to have my two very expensive children. If you're on a fertility journey, you know how challenging this journey can be.

When you first enter the world of the fertility challenged it's hard to know where to start.

Start with RESOLVE. They have an abundance of resources on infertility, insurance coverage, getting insurance coverage, making infertility affordable and understanding your options.

RESOLVE is working to make the struggle of infertility a talked about issue. Every year I travel to Washington D.C. with RESOLVE to advocate for women and families that are struggling with fertility issues.

Join me this week for another inspiring episode.

What You’ll Learn

• About National Infertility (or Fertility Challenged) Awareness Week,
• What is RESOLVE and why you should care,
• Hear inspiring advice to keep you going on your fertility journey,
• And much more!

"Never stop advocating for yourself"

-Erin

Meet Anne. 

Anne was diagnosed with a diminished ovarian reserve and completed two unsuccessful egg retrievals (1-2 eggs total), followed by two unsuccessful fresh transfers. 

After joining the FU Project Workshop, she did another two egg retrievals.  The first produced 4 Day 3 embryos which are on ice and then the second produced over 10 eggs and she now has 6 Day 5 genetically tested embryos (not a typo) on ice! 

These results are a perfect example of how one doctor's opinion and protocol should not define your entire fertility journey and how much you can do to affect the outcome yourself. 

Join me this week for another inspiring story.

What You’ll Learn

• The importance of trusting your gut in life and on your fertility journey,
• How different doctors and protocols can dramatically impact your results,
• The value of having an expert team as your second set of eyes and ears on this journey,
• And much more!

"I developed more of a natural belief that it would happen..."

- Anne

An open letter to all fertility clinics... Have a little more respect for my vagina. I realize that you may be used to having women spread eagle in a room while you're going about your business, but for us, it's strange AF!

Give us a towel, a blanket, anything to cover our vagina, and as a result, our anus, from the room full of people taking notes, chit-chatting and getting prepped for a procedure that in theory takes no longer than it takes to insert a tampon.

Yet for some reason, here I am, vagina on display, for what feels like 5 hours.

On this week's episode of the FU Project podcast I'm talking about that AWFUL embryo transfer and what I should have done.

What You’ll Learn

• All the embarrassing details of that ONE embryo transfer,
• The power of using your voice,
• How to establish systems that make using your voice easier,
• and more!

"Know that if something feels wrong, it is."

Join me this week for another inspiring story.

What You’ll Learn

• Things don't always go how we expect,
• The importance of focusing on YOU and making yourself a priority,
• The value of having an expert team as your second set of eyes and ears on this journey,
• And much more!

"I needed to focus on me. I'm very much people pleaser and I've learned that I kind of have to take a step back and take care of myself."

- Jena

I recently had one of the hardest weeks of my life this past December. I was working double time so that I could feel prepared to take a week off for the holidays (that’s already stressful at any point in the year), but then my husband was diagnosed with covid and my dad was dying from covid all at the same time. 

Stress, whether acute or traumatic, has affected us all. We learn that stress is bad for our body and mind, but we rarely learn healthy tactics to combat it while we are in the trenches.

When we don’t practice emotional wellness during stressful times, we end up suppressing our emotions entirely, wrongly lashing out at another person who doesn’t deserve it or we seek “comfort” in areas that provide that instant gratification that hurts us in the long run. 

Sound familiar? We’ve all been there. 

Thankfully, during one of my most stressful weeks of my life, I had strategies that helped me understand and process my emotions and experiences so that I didn’t crumble to pieces all day, every day (note: I did breakdown, naturally, I’m human. But it could have been much worse).

On this episode of the FU Project, I go over strategies for handling immense stress that don’t involve pushing past and ignoring your emotions. Tune in for actionable ways to get in tune with your reality and emotions in order to handle stressful situations, like your fertility journey, better.

What You’ll Learn

• How a balanced physiology matters when handling stress
• What things I did correctly and poorly when handling my stress
• Why stopping what you’re doing is more important than ignoring your emotions
• And much more!

“The journey to anything great, extraordinary, means a lot of battles, a lot of obstacles and a lot of lessons.”

Meet Emma… 

She had gone through one IUI and five failed transfers with IVF when the doctors started recommending surrogacy. However, she felt there were still avenues she could take to get and stay pregnant. When we met, Emma wasn’t ready to give up on herself, and she wanted to make sure she got it right with her next embryo. Not only was her first transfer with the FU project successful, but she learned important tactics she carried with her into her relationships and now into motherhood.

Listen to what Emma discovered about herself, what she gives credit to for finally having a successful transfer and how a cute tactic she used helped to keep her spirits up during that dreaded two-week wait. 

What You’ll Learn

• Where she was in her fertility journey when we first met
• The struggles she had to overcome
• How she did the work, implemented the tools and strategies we teach
• Where she currently is in her fertility journey
• And much more!

"I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is just the value of slowing down ."

Emma

Oh yes, I’m going there. We are talking about God, Religion and your IVF journey. Religion can play a huge role in your life’s decisions. It can play an even more confusing  role if your religion and life goals create conflicting in ideologies. But is IVF and fertility support innately against God’s will? Are you playing God by using IVF to get you pregnant?

This whole God conversation started because someone thought it was wrong and ungodly for me to have my blonde haired, blue eyed children through IVF. They thought it was wrong for me to be able to choose my childrens’ traits by picking out which embryo - wait, what? Choose my children’s traits? What is this, a scifi movie? 

Personally, I thought it was wrong for them to voice their opinion over my fertility journey when they obviously knew nothing about IVF. 

On this episode of the FU Project, I explain why God supports IVF and why this procedure to support your reproductive system is no different than any other life altering surgery. Tune in for a healthy look at how religion should or should not impact your fertility journey.

What You’ll Learn

• How your view of God matters for your IVF journey
• Why you must understand the basics of IVF 
• What you should do in order to overcome unsolicited opinions
• And much more!

“You are creating a family from the filter of love to grow and create more love. Why would God be against anything that creates love?”

Listen to how she learned to manage her lifestyle to match her goals, what it means to give up control in order to feel in control and why it matters to have a supportive group available who understand your journey.

What You’ll Learn

• Where she was in her fertility journey when we first met
• The struggles she had to overcome
• How she did the work, implemented the tools and strategies we teach
• Where she currently is in her fertility journey
• And much more!

"The extra care and tenderness you provide go a long way."

Stephanie
