Sarah & Kaela reunite in this episode to talk about infertility and surviving the holiday season!

They also talk about Michelle Obama opening up about miscarriage and IVF, share an IUI success story, and swap Black Friday stories! We know this is a hard time of year...we’re thankful for good food, good wine, and good friends. Happy Holidays Mafia!

You Might Be Infertile If...
Tuesday Nov 13, 2018
Tuesday Nov 13, 2018
Gender disappointment, whiny pregnant women, infertility and family dynamics, being an egg donor, surrogacy, MTHFR, progesterone shots - these are some of topics you’ll hear in this episode as Kaela is joined by her guest co-host, and younger sister, Lara. As a “fertile” person, she offers her perspective on ways she has learned to be an advocate for the infertility community and Kaela shares how thankful she is for her supportive sister. She also issues an apology, on behalf of the fertile population, for all the stupid things they say to infertile people! And finally, during this week’s out of the box segment, these sisters debate topics like Disney movies, double dipping, women who wear rompers, and people who Instagram their food.
