Intended Parent Maggie and Surrogate Jessie on Family Building with ConceiveAbilities 56:30

منذ 9 أيام56:30

56:30

On today's episode, Ali talks to Intended Parent, Maggie, and Surrogate, Jessie, about working with ConceiveAbilities, a leading egg donor and surrogacy agency. Maggie explains how she and her husband, Matt, started trying to conceive more than five years ago. She talks about seven rounds of Clomid, multiple miscarriages, and moving on to IVF. When that wasn't successful, she pivoted to surrogacy, after she and Matt were matched with Jessie. Jessie talks about being a nurse, why there are so many nurses who become surrogates, and why she decided to become a surrogate in the first place. "My heart just ached for women who couldn't have babies," Jessie says. "I love my babies so much. I feel so deeply passionate about making sure that another woman has a chance to love a baby, because it's just the greatest gift." Maggie and Jessie talk about meeting for lunch before the transfer, their deep bond, the difficulties of her pregnancy, and finally, how Maggie's daughter, Josie, entered the world. Maggie also talks about where she and Matt are now. Make sure to stay tuned to the end!

Extend Fertility's Dr. Joshua Klein on Fertilo, a Groundbreaking New Fertility Treatment 24:16

منذ 17 يومًا24:16

24:16

It's another expert minisode! Today, Ali is talking to award-winning doctor Dr. Joshua U. Klein, co-founder of Extend Fertility, about a groundbreaking new fertility treatment called Fertilo, by Gameto. Dr. Klein (who, as you may know, is also the doctor who helped Ali and Vince have Sonny via IVF), explains exactly what Fertilo is and how it works in terms of egg freezing and IVF. He explains how Fertilo can shorten IVF and egg freezing cycles, who the best candidates are, and what research and clinical studies have been done to back the efficacy of Fertilo. "If Fertilo is working as we hope it is and it seems like it is, we can shorten and minimize both the duration and the amount of medication that women are doing," he says. "Egg freezing could become a three to five day thing. This is one of the first things in the last decade that has some serious groundbreaking potential, and I'm excited to be a part of it." He also talks about other innovations he and the team at Extend are excited about, and who would play him in a biopic.
