An odyssey to destigmatize IVF and infertility by educating those surrounding people living with infertility, or going through IVF. Join hosts Joel and Valeria as they try to make a baby with the help of science! Learn about the tough world of infertility, through entertaining stories, educational interviews, thoughtful conversation and as much a positive outlook as we can (while keeping it real) so that you can help loved ones on this journey, or so you can validate and normalize your own feelings through this trying and deeply emotional journey. Joel and Valeria have been on the path to a healthy baby for 3 years. Val (Future-Mom) is an Associate in Marriage and Family Therapy, currently working on her PsyD. Joel (Future-Dad) is a struggling filmmaker and actor, with a background in Radio.

Movies and TV SPOILER ALERT!!! Sometimes they get it right and sometimes they get it painfully wrong. Regardless, we celebrate the fact that they try to portray infertility in cinematography. In this episode, we talk about the movies and tv shows that are used as a window to tell the story of infertility. We make it clear that sometimes infertility is not a small inconvenience like some of the films try to make it look and we discuss the good old classics stories that respect the complexity of this journey.This is a long episode! but we haven't left the apartment in 5 days and we needed this! Enjoy!!
Stevie Wonder says it ain't the way, but when you believe in things you don't understand, we are dealing with Superstition! Let’s talk about what the infertile community does in order to increase chances of successful implantations. Are these irrational, unscientific, or supernatural forces? We don’t know and we don’t care, all we know is that we are going to them all! Tune in...Did somebody say Wonder?
Not much to report, so we will educate! In this episode we go through some of the most used acronyms in the infertility community. That way as part of the support system you can more easily understand the lingo used in articles, chatrooms, blogs, and such. We recommend another movie that deals with infertility and give you some resources to learn more.

Still in NYC and this time we talk about what infertility means, beyond the medical diagnosis. We reflect on things that we have lost, and missed out on, but also the things that we have gained and learned. We ask you to put yourself in our position and think what would be different in your life if you were having difficulties conceiving.
