Today Ali is talking to Marni Wandner, VP of Brand Marketing for Pixel Care, and Mandy Messinger, Director of Marketing for Pixel Care, about their respective journeys through infertility, IVF, and more. Mandy talks about meeting and falling in love with her wife, Lauren, and the challenges they faced as part of the LGBTQ community when they decided they wanted to build a family. She shares their experience with both known sperm donation and going through a sperm bank; a chemical pregnancy; a devastating miscarriage, and how they finally had their healthy little boy. Marni shares her experience with freezing her eggs in her mid-30s, falling in love and getting married later in life, and what happened when she and her husband started to try. She talks about IUI, unexplained infertility; a devastating miscarriage, and how she and her husband finally asked themselves, "What if we didn't have kids? What would our life look like?"

Whether you’re looking to build your family or you've gone through IVF and you have embryos in storage that you're not sure what to do with, Embryo Solution can help. To find out more go to embryosolution.com
