In today’s episode, we sit down with our friend Hannah Gerber (@yourgirlhg⁠) as she shares about her infertility "safari"—the twists, setbacks, and lessons learned along the way. She opens up about one of her biggest challenges with starting IVF: needle phobia. If the thought of daily injections makes you queasy, you’re not alone. Hannah talks about the strategies that help her push through and what she wishes she’d known from the start.

We also touch on the financial realities of IVF, her GoFundMe journey, and the search for a fertility clinic that actually feels right.
