Gabriela Rosa is a fertility specialist, reproductive health educator, Harvard University-awarded scholar, and the CEO and founder of The Rosa Institute—the world's first virtual and holistic fertility clinic. Gabriela and her team have helped 140,000 couples in 110 countries, and her treatment methodology has become an authority in its industry for identifying and addressing biochemical obstacles that guide couples in overcoming infertility and recurrent miscarriage, despite previous reproductive difficulties and failed treatments.

In this episode, Ophira Eisenberg sits down with her longtime friend Erin Keating—former television executive, mom of teenage twins, and host of the podcast Hotter Than Ever—for a conversation that spans from IVF dolphin omens to teen fashion battles. Erin shares how a gamified approach to online dating led to meeting her now ex-husband (he was date #5 out of a planned 10), and how her determination during fertility treatments turned her into what she calls a “warrior” with a 4-a-week Upper East Side IUI commute. The IVF worked, and during a Cape May trip, she and her then-husband spotted twin dolphins—just days before finding out they were expecting twins (actual human ones, not more dolphins). Erin recounts birthing her 14-pound combined children—one lounging transverse, the other breech—and how their differing in-utero layouts led to years of bunk-bed metaphors and a dead-on prediction of their teenage eating habits. She reflects on co-parenting after divorce, her son's hyperfocus (he once used her credit card to buy digital Valorant weapons), and why she's proudly never read a parenting book. Erin's philosophy? Lead with love, skip the playlists, and make your teen send the follow-up email after their camp counselor interview. And yes, she confirms: Brooklyn in 2011 really was the twin capital of the world.

Patrick brings listeners right into the real decisions confronting Catholic families, including grappling with difficult family relationships and the call to protect children’s innocence. He fields blunt questions on Church authority, women and the priesthood, Holy Communion crises, and IVF, weaving in his own stories and unapologetic opinions while keeping the conversation engaging and honest. Linda - My brother is gay, and my sister is lesbian. I confronted my sister about whether or not she was gay, she said no but she did have a woman move in with her. I couldn't raise my kids around her. (00:32) Martin - There doesn't seem to be much democracy in the Catholic Church. Why don't they ask us about our opinion of the direction of the Catholic Church? (12:44) Cecilia – I’m a Eucharistic Minister and I noticed I dropped the Precious Blood on myself. The stain disappeared. Where did it go? (25:48) Amy - What would you do if you didn't have kids and your gay friend invited you to the party? (31:11) Karen - My 28-year-old needs a suspense and mystery novel recommendation that ties into the Church (33:19) Rosalie - I went to receive Communion, and the pastor refused to give it on the tongue. I wasn't sure what to do, so I just walked away. It upset me. (38:33) Bob - You are really good at engaging other Christian faiths. How can Christians argue against the Magisterium and Scripture? (42:17)

If you're agonizing over a big life decision, Chef Tracy has a simple solution for you. Flip a coin. It sounds crazy, but that's exactly what she and her husband, Arjav Ezekiel, did when they couldn't decide where to move. Start their future together in Portland, Oregon, where Arjav was from? Or move to bustling Austin? They tossed a quarter in the air and let fate decide. “Tails, it's Texas” prevailed. Today, their restaurant, Birdie's, is one of the most celebrated eateries in the city, the state, and beyond. Fans love the food and drink, the counter-service vibe, and the warm hospitality. (Arjav recently won a James Beard for being a great beverage pro. Congrats, Arjav!) But Birdie's is also admired for its enlightened employee practices, like paid vacation, maternity leave, and health insurance. It's one of the reasons Tracy was named to our first-ever Cherry Bombe Power List. Tracy joined me from Austin for this episode to chat about her life and career, from working for Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group to cheffing through IVF and a tough pregnancy, and her love of fingerling potatoes. Do all chefs love potatoes? I think so. Tracy's an inspiring human, and I'm so happy to have her back on the show. Give a listen, and, of course, if you find yourself in Austin, go visit Birdie's. –Host Kerry DiamondThank you to Visa & OpenTable for supporting our show. Tickets for Jubilee L.A.Join the waitlist for our Summer Tastemaker TourSubscribe to Cherry Bombe's print magazineFollow me on Instagram

Rebecca opens up about her own deeply personal infertility journey, including her diagnosis of premature ovarian failure (and how that language has evolved), discovering she carries the MTHFR gene (and what that really means), and navigating IVF. She shares her experience of transferring three embryos, welcoming her son (now a teenager), and conceiving her daughter years later—without ART.

America's got a long and shameful history with eugenics, and, while history doesn't repeat itself, it rhymes. As white supremacist ideology permeates everything from Silicon Valley startups to domestic policy in 2025, is it really that far-fetched to notice it in that American Eagle “good jeans” ad featuring Sydney Sweeney? This week, Akilah Hughes joins Erin to break it all down. They also discuss Candace Owens' low-key hilarious legal battle with the Macrons, MAGA politicians getting their karma, and The Nelk Boys' Netanyahu interview– the children that were left behind are now 30-year-old male podcasters.

"I think true resilience is appreciating what life is offering and finding the gift in it. Finding the gift in the confusion or the gift in the pain, the gift in this circumstance." - Sage Robbins When I first encountered Sage Robbins at the World's Hottest Menopause Party, I was completely awestruck by her presence - not just how she showed up, but how truly present she was. This woman embodies the profound intersection of grace and power that comes from a 20-year journey of health struggles, hormone chaos, and ultimately finding her way back to herself. After enduring multiple miscarriages, IVF cycles, a pituitary tumor, and hormonal imbalances so severe a doctor said her profile looked like "a woman transitioning into a man," Sage discovered something revolutionary: she had to become the CEO of her own health and vitality. Her story isn't just about overcoming health challenges - it's about that beautiful midlife awakening where you stop trying to be who you think you should be and start celebrating who you actually are. From learning to trust her body instead of fighting it, to developing micro-habits that transformed her energy, to mastering the art of presence through 60-second meditations, Sage shows us how to navigate life's inevitable storms with resilience and grace. This conversation will shift how you think about your relationship with your body, your mind, and most importantly, yourself. What You'll Learn: How to shift from self-loathing to self-trust when it comes to your body and health The game-changing mindset that makes you the CEO of your own vitality and wellbeing Why micro-workouts and exercise snacks can be more powerful than hour-long gym sessions Simple daily habits that support hormone balance and sustained energy as you age The 60-second meditation technique that helps you find presence anywhere, anytime How to distinguish between pushing through with force versus cultivating magnetic resilience Why returning to your authentic self becomes possible (and essential) in midlife The difference between surviving life's challenges and finding the gifts within them Love the Podcast?

Today I want to share about the risks of IVF so you know what you're getting yourself into. IVF allows you to preserve embryos for the future, genetically test embryos, and it does offer the highest pregnancy rate of current fertility treatments.  In this episode, I'm sharing: - The basics of IVF: fertility preservation and genetic testing - Managing the stress and emotional side of IVF treatment - The physical impact of IVF on your body - OHSS - The chances of pregnancy with IVF (it's not 100%) - IVF and chance of multiples (twins, triplets) - Myths about IVF Do you have questions about IVF, and what to expect? Join The IVF Class (where you can ask Dr. Aimee questions, live, on the class call.) Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America's most well known fertility doctors. Her success rate at baby-making is what gives future parents hope when all hope is lost. She pioneered the TUSHY Method and BALLS Method to decrease your time to pregnancy.

Send us a textThere's a lot to worry about in IVF: Will you get enough eggs? Will your embryos be normal? Will the transfer work?But for Dr. Mark Amols, there's one part that truly keeps him up at night—fertilization.In this deeply personal episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Amols shares why fertilization is the most unpredictable and emotionally gut-wrenching step in the entire IVF process. You'll get a crash course in reproductive biology—meiosis, pronuclei, 0PNs, 2PNs, and more—and learn what really happens the night sperm meets egg.He explains:Why even perfect sperm and eggs can fail to fertilizeThe terrifying uncertainty of ICSI and why it doesn't guarantee successHow fertilization failure happens—and why it feels like a blindsideWhat embryologists look for when checking for normal fertilizationThe brutal truth about age, egg quality, and cellular deathWhether you're preparing for IVF, recovering from a failed cycle, or just want to understand the science behind the scariest moment in the lab, this episode delivers the insight—and honesty—you won't hear anywhere else.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

We're running another ACX Grants round! If you already know what this is and just want to apply for a grant, use the form here (should take 15 - 30 minutes), deadline August 15. If you already know what this is and want to help as a funder, VC, partner charity, evaluator, or friendly professional, click the link for the relevant form, same deadline. Otherwise see below for more information. What is ACX Grants? ACX Grants is a microgrants program that helps fund ACX readers' charitable or scientific projects. Click the links to see the 2022 and 2024 cohorts. The program is conducted in partnership with Manifund, a charity spinoff of Manifold Markets, who handle the administrative/infrastructure side of things. How much money is involved? I plan to contribute $200K. I expect (but cannot guarantee) an additional $800K from other donors, for a total of about $1 million. Most grants will probably be between $5,000 and $50,000, with a rare few up to $100,000. Depending on how much external donor interest there is, we will probably give between 10 and 50 grants. What's the catch? There's no catch, but this year we plan to experiment with replacing some grants with SAFEs, and others with convertible grants. That means that if you're a startup, we (ACX Grants as an nonprofit institution, not me personally) get some claim to future equity if you succeed. If you're not a startup, you'll sign an agreement saying that if your project ever becomes a startup, then we'll get the equity claim. We're still working on the exact details of this agreement, but we intend to have pretty standard terms and err in the favorable-to-you direction; obviously we'll show you the final agreement before you sign anything. We're doing this because some of our previous grantees became valuable companies, and it seems foolish to leave that money on the table when we could be capturing it and reinvesting it into future grants rounds. Please don't let this affect your decision to apply. Our top priority remains charity, and we'll continue to select grantees based on their philanthropic value and not on their likelihood of making us money. If you're not a startup and don't plan to become one, none of this should affect you. And if you have a good reason not to want to sign these agreements - including “I'm not savvy enough to know what this means and it makes me nervous” - then we're happy to opt you out of them. What's the timeline? We'd like to have grants awarded by October 1 and money in your hands by November 1. This is a goal, not a promise. What will the application process be like? You fill out a form that should take 15 - 30 minutes. If we have questions, an evaluator might email or call you, in a way that hopefully won't take more than another 15 - 30 minutes of your time to answer. If you win a grant, Manifund will send you the money, probably by bank wire. Every few years, we might ask you to fill out another 15 - 30 minute form letting us know how your project is doing. What kind of projects might you fund? There are already lots of good charities that help people directly at scale, for example Against Malaria Foundation (which distributes malaria-preventing bed nets) and GiveDirectly (which gives money directly to very poor people in Africa). These are hard to beat. We're most interested in charities that pursue novel ways to change complex systems, either through technological breakthroughs, new social institutions, or targeted political change. Among the projects we've funded in the past were: Development of oxfendazole, a drug for treating parasitic worms in developing countries. A platform that lets people create prediction markets on topics of their choice A trip to Nigeria for college students researching lead poisoning prevention. A group of lawyers who sue factory farms under animal cruelty laws. Development of software that helps the FDA run better drug trials. A startup building anti-mosquito drones to fight tropical disease A guide for would-be parents on which IVF clinics have the highest successful rate of successful implantation. A university lab working on artificial kidneys You can read the full list here and here, and the most recent updates from each project here. Is there anything good about winning an ACX Grant other than getting money? You'll get my support, which is mostly useful in getting me to blog about your project. For example, I can put out updates or requests for help on Open Threads. I can also try to help connect you to people I know. Some people who won ACX Grants last year were able to leverage the attention to attract larger grantmakers or VCs. You can try to pitch me guest posts about your project. This could be a description of what you're doing and why, or just a narrative about your experience and what you learned from it. Warning that I'm terrible to pitch guest posts to, I almost never go through with this, and I'm very nitpicky when I do. Still, you can try. We're working on gathering a network of friendly professionals who agree to provide pro bono or heavily discounted support (eg legal, accounting, business advice, cloud compute) to ACX grantees. We've only just begun this process and it might not actually materialize. There are occasional virtual and physical meetups of ACX grantees; these don't always result in Important Professional Connections, but are pretty interesting. What if I want those nonfinancial benefits for my project, but don't need money? Apply for a grant of $1. But we're pretty nervous about giving very-low-cost grants because it's too easy to accept all of them and dilute our signaling value; for this reason, it might be harder to get a grant of $1 than a grant of $5,000, and we expect these to make up only 0 - 10% of our cohort. You might be better off coming up with some expansion of your project that takes $5,000 and applying for that. What are the tax implications of an ACX Grant? Consult your accountant, especially if you live outside the US. If you live inside the US, we think it's ordinary taxable income. If you're an individual, you'll have to pay taxes on it at your usual tax rate. If you're a 501(c), you'll get your normal level of tax exemption. I want to fund you, how can I help? For bureaucratic reasons, we're currently looking for donations mostly in the $5,000+ range. If that's you, fill out the Funder Application Form. If we've already talked about this over email, you don't need to fill out the form, but we encourage you to do so anyway so we know more about your interests and needs. What's the story behind why you have $200K to spend on grants every year, but are still asking for more funding? Some generous readers sent me crypto during the crypto boom, or advised me on buying crypto, or asked to purchase NFTs of my post for crypto. Some of the crypto went up. Then I reinvested it into AI stocks, and those went up too. I think of this as unearned money and want to give some of it back to the community, hence this grants program. I have a lot of it but not an unlimited amount. At the current rate, I can probably afford another ~5 ACX Grants rounds. When it runs out, I‘ll just be a normal person with normal amounts of money (Substack is great, but not great enough for me to afford this level of donation consistently). My hope is that I can keep making these medium-sized donations, other people can add more to the pot, and we'll be able to drag this out at least five more rounds, after which point maybe we'll come up with another plan. I'm a VC, how can I help? Some of our applicants are potentially-profitable startups, and we decide they're a better match for VC funding than for our grants. If you're willing to look these over and get in touch with any that seem interesting, fill out the VC Application Form. It will ask for more information on what kind of opportunities you're interested in funding. I'm a philanthropist or work at a philanthropic foundation; how can I help? Some of our applicants are good projects, but not a good match for us, and we want to shop them around to other philanthropists and charities who might have different strengths or be able to work with larger amounts of money. If that's you, please fill out the Partner Charity Application Form I'm good at evaluating grants, or an expert in some specific field; how can I help? If you have experience as a grantmaker or VC, or you're an expert in some technical field, you might be able to help us evaluate proposals. Fill out the Evaluator Application Form. By default we expect you'll want us to send you one or two grants in your area of expertise, but if you want a challenge you can request more. If we've already talked about this over email, you don't need to fill out the form, but we encourage you to do so anyway so I know more about your interests and needs. We expect to get more volunteers than we need, and most people who fill in the evaluator form won't get contacted unless we need someone from their specific field. I'm a professional who wants to do pro bono work for cool charities, how can I help? Fill out the Friendly Professional Application Form. If we get enough applicants, we'll compile them into a directory for our grantees. I participated in the Impact Certificate Market last year, did you forget about me? Yes until Austin Chen reminded me last month No! Request final oracular funding by filling in the Impact Applicant Form. Sorry, I forgot, where do I go to apply for a grant again? See form here. Please apply by 11:59 PM on August 15th. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/apply-for-an-acx-grant-2025

What if the hardest part of infertility wasn't just the treatments… but the fact that no one even knew how hard you tried? In this episode of The "So Now What?" Podcast, we're talking about an overlooked reality: what it feels like to go through years of IVF and fertility treatments and never even get a positive pregnancy test. No bump. No loss others can see. Just you, quietly rearranging your life around the hope of motherhood… with nothing to show for it when it didn't work. This is for you if you're childless after infertility and have felt the sting of being dismissed, forgotten, or misunderstood because your story doesn't come with "visible" grief. Here's what we cover: Why IVF without pregnancy leaves a haunting silence around your story The reality of disenfranchised grief when you're infertile and childless Why comparing your pain to others doesn't bring healing, it brings shame The myth that you have to love your story in order to find peace How to stop minimizing your experience and start creating a future you feel proud of What it looks like to reclaim your voice and move forward without motherhood You don't have to keep shrinking your grief or hiding your truth just to make others comfortable. This episode reminds you that you were in it. And that's enough to matter. If you've ever wondered whether your story counts because you never got pregnant—this episode is your reminder: You don't need proof to be seen. You don't need a baby to validate your grief. You were there. You gave everything. And that matters. ✨ Mentioned in this episode:

Some episodes are just so good we have to air them twice! Tune in to this week's episode, a replay with one of our favorite guests!During National NFP Awareness Week, we thought it a great idea to welcome back a close friend of this ministry, Chris O'Neill, the Director of Marriage and Family Life for the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Chris helps articulate why those carrying the cross of infertility may have mixed feelings about NFP, charting, etc., then helps us refocus on how to build deep, strong relationships with our spouse.Links⁠What's the Issue with IVF? podcast episode

IVF chains in India aren't deterred by paltry things like probabilities. They've made IVF the new C-section—essentially, a revenue-generating procedure pushed before natural alternatives are even considered. All at 4X the cost of a C-section, or around Rs 2 lakh for a single cycle.The result is a $1.4 billion IVF market in India—10 times the market for cataract surgery, the most common procedure worldwide.Unsurprisingly, venture-capital and private-equity firms have swooped in for the kill. That this growth is coming at the cost of quality care is the real problem. Tune in.Daybreak is produced from the newsroom of The Ken, India's first subscriber-only business news platform.

As part of the IVF cycle, patients are given hormones which stimulates the ovaries to allow all the possible follicles and eggs to grow. The good news is that this often allows us to capture as many healthy eggs as possible in one cycle, giving a patient a better chance at a healthy embryo. One possible side effect is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. Dr. Nichole Barker of Seattle Reproductive Medicine joins me on the podcast today to talk all about OHSS. What do you need to know before IVF? What are the symptoms of OHSS? What's the protocol for a patient (and her doctor) should she have symptoms?⠀ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I am joined by Laetitia Felix @mindset_bodyandsoul, a fertility mindset coach who shares her deeply personal and powerful journey through infertility, loss, and ultimately conception. After experiencing three ectopic pregnancies and an early miscarriage, Leatitia was told IVF was her only option—but she knew in her heart there was another path. In this vulnerable conversation, she opens up about how slowing down, healing her nervous system, and connecting to her spiritual self helped her conceive naturally—against the odds and through the same fallopian tube doctors advised removing. We also explore spirit baby communication, the emotional toll of unexplained infertility, and how reclaiming your inner wisdom can be the most radical act of self-love. This episode is an invitation to stop, listen, and trust the messages your body and spirit may already be sending you. Key Takeaways: Laetitia Felix conceived naturally after three ectopic pregnancies and an early loss—through the same tube doctors recommended removing. IVF was presented as her only option, but she chose to explore inner healing and spiritual connection instead. Emotional processing, mindset work, and womb healing played a major role in restoring her health and fertility. Connecting with her spirit baby gave her reassurance, peace, and a sense of divine timing. Fertility healing isn't one-size-fits-all—trusting your intuition and calming the nervous system are foundational. Guest Bio: Laetitia Felix @mindset_bodyandsoul is a certified Fertility Mindset Coach based in London, originally from France. After navigating her own challenging path to motherhood—including multiple pregnancy losses—she now supports women on similar journeys through her holistic Mind, Body, and Soul approach. Laetitia helps women process emotional trauma, release both conscious and unconscious blocks, and reconnect with their inner wisdom to prepare for conception. Deeply passionate about this work, she brings compassion, lived experience, and powerful tools to guide women—whether they're just starting out or healing after loss.

In this heartfelt episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I sit down with Dr. Arnold Mahesan and his wife, Roxy Earle, for a deeply personal and thought-provoking conversation about how fertility medicine is evolving—and how it needs to change. They share the story behind Ana, their AI-supported fertility tracking app, and how it was born from their own journey. But this episode goes far beyond the app. We talk about how to bring personalization, emotional support, and community-focused care back to the forefront of fertility treatment. In this episode, we cover: How Dr. Arnold and Roxy's personal fertility story inspired the Ana app Why personalization and emotional well-being are vital to fertility success What hormone horoscopes, AI timing, and mindset support can offer those trying to conceive Why the current fertility model needs to shift from factory-style care to patient-centered support The legacy both doctors are carrying forward from their fathers, who were OB-GYNs Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

Guest: Jay Shaw, MS, CGC, Senior Product Manager, Fulgent Genetics Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny    The Fertility 101 Series, because there's no shortage of daunting terms to keep your mind running, is a quick and dirty breakdown on a specific topic with insights from a fertility expert.  Today's episode is a deep dive into the role of genetics in fertility care and planning. We're joined by Jay Shaw, a certified genetic counselor and Senior Product Manager at Fulgent Genetics, who walks us through the basics and beyond when it comes to genetic testing.  We start with a foundational overview, and Jay makes sure to break down the medical jargon for us. What is genetic testing? And what do terms like “carrier screening,” “single gene disorder,” and “pathogenic variant,” actually mean?   From there, Jay explains how test results can inform decisions around IVF, embryo selection, and prenatal diagnostic testing. She also walks us through options available to people and couples when carrier screening reveals shared risks, including IVF with genetic testing, sperm or egg donation, and early interventions during pregnancy or at birth.   Jay also shares how genetic testing is expanding with new tools for cancer screening, direct-to-consumer options, and exciting advancements on the horizon, including genome sequencing and the potential for AI to transform how we interpret genetic results.   Genetic testing is a crucial part of the family-building journey, protecting the health of your baby and ensuring a well-informed pregnancy. Tune in to hear all that it has to offer.  For more information, visit Progyny's Podcast page and Progyny's Education page for more resources.

We're diving into the top functional and conventional tests to consider after the second trimester or late pregnancy loss, especially if you've been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). If you've had a second trimester loss or late pregnancy loss after 20 weeks and been told “everything looks normal,”this episode is for you. We dive into what's often overlooked in conventional care and how a functional fertility approach can help uncover underlying imbalances that impact conception, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes. In this episode we cover 7 categories of testing to consider after late loss especially if you have low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, autoimmune issues, recurrent miscarriage, or unexplained infertility. You'll learn: The top clotting and thrombophilia markers to test (including Factor V Leiden and antiphospholipid antibodies) Which inflammatory and immune markers (hs-CRP, ANA, cytokines, NK cells) are often missed and why they matter How the vaginal microbiome and hidden infections like ureaplasma can cause second-trimester loss The role of chronic stress, adrenal hormones and the HPA axis in pregnancy outcomes Why a comprehensive blood chemistry panel can reveal nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances that are missed by conventional labs Key methylation and genetic SNPs (like MTHFR) that impact detoxification, clotting and hormone metabolism The impact of gut health and stool testing on immune tolerance, estrogen balance and inflammation We'll also explain how this whole body functional lens can guide your next steps in preconception planning, whether you're trying again naturally or preparing for IVF. This episode is for you if: You've experienced a loss after 14 weeks of pregnancy and are seeking deeper understanding and support. You want to explore both conventional and functional medicine approaches to uncover underlying causes.

It's World IVF Day! Today, Ali is talking to her friend and former Infertile AF guest, Emily Patel, about The Hopeful Families Collection, Emily's new initiative to bring books into public and school libraries to celebrate the many ways families are created, including assisted reproductive technology (ART), adoption, surrogacy, and donor conception, while helping all children learn that every family is built with love and hope. Emily talks about why she created this movement, some of the books that will be included (including Ali's books, Work of ART and Beautiful Bird!) and how listeners can help support the mission. "The goal is to bring awareness," Emily says. "Even with our family, we're a bi-racial couple with donor-conceived children from two different donors, which is not a very traditional story. "It's wanting to allow those families that are unique to be represented in books, and making sure that other families can educate their children from a very early age that it's ok that you have friends who have families that look different from you, that came together differently than you. We can celebrate our differences, because it's truly just love that creates a family." For more, go to www.hopefulmamafoundation.orgFollow on IG: @hopefulmamafoundationTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: TTC; ART; IVF; IUI; surrogacy; embryo adoption; adoption; single mom by choice; single parent by choice; donor conception EPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!
