Ep 13: How much of IVF can we truly control?

Ep 13: How much of IVF can we truly control?

Welcome back to the FriedEggs Podcast, a podcast about IVF and infertility hosted by two friends in sunny Los Angeles.


As we prepare to wrap up season one of the podcast and take a few weeks off for the holidays, we pulled one of our favorite unpublished conversations out of the archives to share today. While we recorded this earlier (note that Amy has already completed her 4th egg retrieval, and we are both still very much in transfer mode!), the conversation about shame and stress while going through IVF treatments is evergreen and remains more topical than ever, especially as we enter the holiday season.


We hope you love this conversation as much as we do and that, if you are going through IVF, it serves as a gentle reminder that you’re doing the best you can and that is truly enough.


If you love the pod, please like, subscribe, and leave a review — it helps us reach more listeners! As always, thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy today’s show!
