Today's guest is none other than my dear friend, Louise Brown. We chat about what this experience is like being "firsts" and we compare notes about what we've been asked over the years!

A not-so-solo episode today!

This episode features discussion between Elizabeth Carr, the first U.S. IVF baby, and Dr. Matthew Pollard, a reproductive urologist specializing in male fertility. They discussed Pollard's career path and specialization in male fertility as well as the importance of providing easy access to male fertility testing and educating patients.

When I first met Kristin, she just felt like a breath of fresh air and a place I could seek some solace (listen to the funny way we met in the opener!) As a personal coach, she helps with mindset for those going through fertility treatments. But she's also just so darn fun to chat with!

Jamie joins Elizabeth on the podcast today to chat about ART of all kinds (the kind we create from our minds, as well as A.R.T -- assisted reproductive technologies.

In this solo episode I get really personal about trying to balance the 2 sides of my life: Wanting to be the outspoken first IVF baby and advocate, while also not wanting to be seen as ONLY that.

Sarah is a lovely human and wonderful resource for so, so many! We talk about how she came to the fertility world and the mission of Jewish Fertility Foundation.

What's the ONE thing everyone always wants to know about being an IVF baby? I dive into that on today's episode!
