Today, Ali is talking to Keegan Prue, whose book, "The IVF Dad," chronicles he and his wife's struggle with infertility, going through two rounds of IVF, two miscarriages, and three embryo transfers before the birth of their first daughter--and then even more before having their next baby girl, who was just born less than a month ago. Keegan talks about how to be a supportive partner through infertility, why he's always wanted to have kids, what happened when they "hit the wall," how his wife had a blighted ovum, hearing the dreaded phrase, "I'm sorry, there's no heartbeat," pregnancy after loss, and so much more. 

TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:

Unexplained infertility; the male point of view; Letrizole; IVF; FET; blighted ovum; miscarriage; grief; successful cycles; genetic testing; a double-thawed embryo; pregnancy after infertility; parenthood after infertility.
