Infertile AF: Infertility and Modern Family Building through ART

IVF Warrior Liz Krueger on Secondary Infertility, Miscarriages and the Embryo That Was Discarded Without Her Consent


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, Ali sits down with Liz Krueger to share her deeply personal journey through infertility and loss. After having her daughter at 35, Liz experienced a series of heartbreaking miscarriages—including one at 16 weeks, when she and her husband lost their baby girl.

Liz opens up about the devastation of finding out her highest-graded embryo didn’t survive the thaw, the hemorrhage and loss that followed another pregnancy, and the emotional toll of multiple retrievals and a chemical pregnancy. She also shares how she finally allowed herself to take a three-month leave from work to grieve—a step she had never given herself permission to take before.

With raw honesty, Liz reflects on navigating profound grief, the heartbreak of losing embryos without her consent, and the resilience it has taken to keep moving forward. She also shares the hope and vulnerability of finally being pregnant again—and how she’s feeling now, as she prepares to welcome her next baby this winter.
