From Reality TV to the Reality of Infertility

If you saw Krisily Fernstrom on Instagram today, you'd see a woman going through infertility and egg retrievals quote, “hoping, praying and waiting” to become a mom.


IVF warrior is in her bio, along with TV host, Movie Critic and Miss Rhode Island USA. She was also a contestant on The Bachelor and the popular reality show spinoff, The Bachelor Pad.


Some people may remember her as Krisily Kennedy, from Charlie O'Connell's season, when she was runner-up and considered by some as 'the most hated woman in America'!


Her no B.S, candid tell-it-like-it-is attitude is exactly why she's decided to share her infertility journey on social media, in the hopes that it will help others feel less alone.


On this episode, Krisily and Andrea have a candid chat about how to keep intimacy and relationships alive during setbacks, what infertility and reality TV have in common, and why Krisily thinks this current chapter of trying to build her family with science is one of the hardest and most defining experiences of her life.


This episode is supported by two plus fertility, an easy-to-use device to help guide sperm to egg when you're trying to conceive at home.
