Mafia Meet Christine - Infertility Illustrated
Tuesday Aug 21, 2018
Tuesday Aug 21, 2018
Sarah & Kaela sit down with the wildly popular illustrator behind the Instagram account @infertilityillustrated. Her name is Christine and she’s infertile, too! She talks about how illustrating the crazy, and sad, and even hilarious moments of infertility have helped her cope. After a diagnosis of PCOS, a round of IVF, and recurrent miscarriages, she’s gearing up for a frozen embryo transfer. Kaela and Sarah talk to her about transporting embryos across state lines, doctors and their bedside manner, and give a big shout out to all the nurses in the world! And, of course, they venture off topic a few times to talk about things like laundry, ironing, dogs, reptiles, rodents, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Bachelor, and “under boob!”
