Am I the Fertility A-hole?

🎙️ Fertile-ish

Season 2, Episode 5 — “Am I the Fertility A-hole?”

Description:This week, Laura and Brandis are tackling one of the most relatable questions in the fertility world: Am I the fertility a-hole? From skipping baby showers and dodging pregnancy announcements to setting boundaries with family and friends, the hosts weigh in on real listener-submitted scenarios that hit way too close to home.

It’s a mix of humor, honesty, and heartfelt truth-telling — because sometimes protecting your peace makes you feel like the a-hole, when really, it just makes you human.

💬 What We Discuss

When to share (or not share) your fertility journey

Saying “no” without guilt — from baby showers to Mother’s Day brunch
Navigating awkward family comments (“science babies,” anyone?)
Dealing with comparison, jealousy, and emotional burnout
Partner disconnect after loss or failed cycles
The art of muting, unfollowing, and boundary-setting for your sanity

✨ Favorite Moments💭 “You don’t owe anyone your fertility story — not your mom, not your in-laws, not your best friend.”
💭 “Sometimes you’re not the fertility a-hole… you’re just trying to survive something impossibly hard.”
💭 “Boundaries aren’t mean — they’re maintenance.”

💌 TakeawayThis episode is your permission slip to honor your emotions, guard your energy, and do what’s best for you — even if others don’t get it. Because in the messy, emotional world of fertility… you’re allowed to put yourself first.
