Episode Details

What does it really look like to build a family through fertility treatments — from the inside? In this deeply personal episode, we sit down with Emily and Sarah, a couple whose path to parenthood began just after their September 2024 wedding. Their story is one of hope, patience, and the kind of love that finds a way.

Our host has known Emily since she was a little girl, which makes this conversation all the more meaningful. After Emily's mom reached out about the couple's plans to start a family, what followed was a year of check-ins, conversations, and a front-row seat to one of life's most profound journeys.

In Part One, we cover:

• Life after egg retrieval and the emotional waiting period before the first transfer
• The moment they found out they were pregnant
• What the final stretch of pregnancy really felt like - including a frank conversation about Lactation Induction

Emily and Sarah chose to work with Pollin Fertility — a clinic our host wholeheartedly recommended — and their experience there is woven throughout the conversation.

Don't miss Part Two next week, when we get to hear the story of their baby's arrival.
