The Infertility Soda Machine – How IVF Changed Comedian Jay Palumbo

Comedian/writer/advocate Jennifer 'Jay' Palumbo talks openly about how infertility changed her career, her priorities and her marriage – and how she still comes out laughing. After grueling IVF treatments, embryo transfers, pregnancy fails and office baby showers, Jay finally had a successful pregnancy which produced her son Michael and moved her to become an advocate and a figurehead in the fertility/infertility fight. Then she got pregnant by accident which surprised the entire world - and forced her to do a lot of explaining!

Jay is the Founder and CEO of Wonder Woman Writer, LLC, a freelance writer, stand-up comic, and proud mompreneur to two boys, one with special needs. Find her pieces in Time Magazine, Parents Magazine, Huffington Post (HuffPo), and ScaryMommy, and find Jay herself in Self, Fast Company, Medium, and more. As an infertility subject matter expert, she’s been interviewed on news outlets such as CNN, NPR, FOX, NBC, and BBC America, plus the documentary, “Vegas Baby”. Her blog, "The Two Week Wait", was awarded the Hope Award for Best Blog from Resolve: The National Infertility Association and was also named the “Best IVF Blog” by Egg Donation Friends.
