Secondary Infertility: The Sequel No One Asked For

🎙️ Episode 18: Secondary Infertility: The Sequel No One Asked For

Having one baby doesn’t always mean the road to baby #2 will be smooth. This week, we’re diving into the often-overlooked topic of secondary infertility - what it is, why it happens, and how it feels when the sequel isn’t playing out the way you imagined. 💔➡️💪

In this episode, we talk about:✨ What secondary infertility actually means (and why it’s not just about big age gaps)
🧬 Common causes - from sperm changes to diminished ovarian reserve to “unexplained” mysteries
💭 The emotional toll: guilt, grief, and unsolicited “just be grateful” comments
💡 Coping strategies + advice if you’re just starting to wonder if something’s up
❤️ Why grief + gratitude can (and should) coexist in this journey

Laura also shares her personal story of facing secondary infertility - from surprise pregnancy in her twenties to IVF years later - and what she’s learned along the way.

🎧 Listen in if…

You’re trying for another child after having one, supporting a friend through it, or just want to understand the nuances of infertility better.

Because sometimes the sequel is harder, messier, and way more emotional than the original - but you don’t have to go through it alone. 💕
