Ep 25: Same eggs, new basket: Amy opens up about surrogacy and next steps

In this follow-up episode, Amy shares part two of her IVF update—including what comes next after uncovering chronic uterine infections that may have been impacting her fertility for years. We talk about the emotional weight of finally having answers, the quiet relief of clarity, and the strength it takes to pivot.

Amy opens up about the decision to explore surrogacy—not as a last resort, but as a different expression of resilience and love. We unpack the layered grief and fragile hope that come with shifting your vision of parenthood, and how she’s learning to move forward with softness and strength.

We also share thoughtful messages from our listeners and give a peek into how the podcast will evolve while Kayti is on maternity leave this summer.
