Hannah

TODAY, Ali is talking to Hannah Johnson, Chief Strategy Officer at VIOS and mom of two, about her "reverse infertility journey," starting with the two egg retrievals she did as a volunteer, in the name of science. Hannah also discusses her diagnosis of PCOS, her first devastating miscarriage, how she and her partner handled the trauma differently, the shame and guilt she felt, the lack of education young women receive today when it comes to reproduction (and what she's doing to change that) and how she has become a better and more empathetic advocate for patients after experiencing loss herself. SPONSORS:FERTILITY RALLY www.fertilityrally.com and @fertilityrally, offers 24/7 Community, Content and Curated Events. Give yourself or a fellow infertility warrior the gift of support while navigating your journey.

Om Podcasten

In this unfiltered podcast about infertility, Brooklyn-based journalist and mom-of-two Ali Prato, who went through secondary infertility and IVF herself, talks to women—and some men—about the messy, frustrating, painful, heartbreaking, absurd and sometimes hilarious journey to have a baby. Or in some cases, to not have a baby. Each episode tells a different story about family building, getting real about miscarriages, egg freezing, sperm and egg donation, IUIs, endometriosis, male factor infertility, adoption, surrogacy, genetic testing, single parenting by choice, LGBTQ+ fertility, living childless not by choice, depression, relationship issues, money issues, jealousy, PTSD, and so much more. Ali covers all of the outcomes in this safe, non-judgement zone: the happy endings, the soul-crushingly sad ones, and the ones still in limbo.
