Today, Ali is talking to Jamie B., a.k.a. Glitter Enthusiast, about the long and winding infertility journey to having her twin boys. Jamie talks about her three IUIs, moving onto IVF, miscarriage, failed transfers, and feeling like everywhere she went, everyone was pregnant. She also talks about being in the "jail of your own anxiety," how being pregnant after infertility is like "waiting for a miscarriage," how watching "The Bachelor" helped while she was grieving, and the importance of therapy. Jamie then discusses the unique style of art she's created, inspired by her own infertility journey, in which she uses sterile IVF needles to create art and decor—much of which winds up in the nurseries of babies who've been wanted so badly for so long.
