IVFU

IVFU invites you in for no-holds-barred, candid conversations about making families the new-fashioned way. Host Sam Shaber, a mother via egg donor and surrogate, introduces you to a diverse group of people, (straight, gay, lesbian, and single intended parents), who built their families through IVF, adoption, fostering, donor sperm and eggs and much more - even a couple who’ve chosen to live happily childfree after infertility. Whether you've ridden the fertility rollercoaster yourself, or watched someone you love go through it, join Sam and her guests as they talk openly about the quest to become parents, from the darkest moments of doubt to the warmest feels of joy, and all the identity-challenging, life-changing moments in between.
