Infertile AF: Infertility and Modern Family Building through ART

Alison Prato knows the terrain of infertility firsthand, having navigated secondary infertility and IVF to build her own family. In her Infertile AF: Infertility and Modern Family Building through ART, she brings her perspective as a Brooklyn-based journalist to conversations that are as real as they come. This isn't a polished, clinical discussion; it's a space where people share the messy, frustrating, and often heartbreaking reality of trying to conceive, alongside those moments of unexpected humor that arise in the absurdity of it all. Ali talks with a range of guests-mostly women, but also men-who detail their personal journeys toward having a baby, or sometimes, the difficult decision to stop trying. Every episode dives into a unique story, pulling back the curtain on topics like miscarriage, egg freezing, and the complexities of sperm and egg donation with unflinching honesty. You'll hear the raw emotions and logistical hurdles of modern family building through assisted reproductive technology, all framed within compassionate, candid dialogue. The podcast serves as a companion for anyone who has felt alone on this path, offering not just stories, but a sense of shared understanding and resilience. It’s about the entire spectrum of experience, from the first doubts to the final outcomes, whatever they may be.
