Sarah & Kaela discuss the dreaded two week wait - and some practical (and not so practical) ways to cope with it. They also share experiences from other Mafia members about how their lives changed when they told people they were trying to conceive. Here’s some hints: overbearing Mom’s, awkward family gatherings, and friends who sarcastically offer up their husband’s sperm...yeah you read that right.

Kaela & Sarah dive deep into what it means to be a TTCer! In this episode, they explore a number of things people do when trying to conceive. Some practical, some not so much! Included in the conversation are - ovulation trackers, cervical checks, timed sex, acupuncture, fertility diets, supplements, and ball cooling underwear (to name a few)!
We also gave a product shoutout that we inadvertently got W-R-O-N-G! Can you spot it?! Don’t worry, we correct ourselves in an upcoming episode. ;-)
