Chelsea and her wife have been trying to grow their family since January 2020. LIke so many others, they were derailed by COVID, and today, she tells Ali all about the rest of her story, including seven failed IUIs, being diagnosed with unexplained infertility, and their first failed round of IVF. She also talks about using three different sperm donors because there was a donor sperm shortage in 2020--and the first two we chose ran out of vials. After their second round of IVF, Chelsea is now pregnant--and she discusses their future plans, as well as the anxiety that comes along with pregnancy after infertility.
TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:
Infertility; same sex couples; same sex family building; IUI; IVF; donor sperm; unexplained infertility; failed transfers; anxiety; pregnancy after infertility and loss; two moms.
