One in Six

An extended interview with psychologist Dr. Sarah MacAulay about the complex feelings that surround fertility issues, why it’s such a difficult topic to talk about, and why you should take the time to look at photos of baby otters.

Jen’s needle phobia isn’t making this “make-or-break” round of fertility treatment any easier. Neil plays nurse to administer the shots, and Jen tries two new therapies to deal with the physical and mental tolls of her fertility journey.

Jen and Neil are preparing for their sixth round of intrauterine insemination (IUI). Their fertility doctor says if this “make-or-break” round doesn’t work, they will have to try more costly and invasive procedures that aren’t available locally. Meanwhile, Jen and Neil open up to family about their secret, and learn that someone close to them knows the struggle with infertility all too well.

It’s a devastating secret that Jen White and Neil Hyde have kept for too long: they can’t get pregnant. Join Jen and Neil as they open up about the emotional, biological, financial and social tolls of infertility — while trying to see the uterus half full. Coming Oct. 18.
