Episode 14: An Egg and An Act of Sisterly Love — Lanie Wolff
Lanie Wolff is a clinical physicians liaison for Conceptions Reproductive Associations of Colorado. She has a wonderful personal story to share about how her sister Tessa helped her start her family.
Hear from Lanie and Tessa as they share their story:
• How they went from instant family (including an incident of classic sibling blackmail) to long-distance pen pals..
• Lanie and her husband confronting an only 5% chance of IVF working with her eggs and her husband’s sperm.
• Tessa’s blunt (and amazing) offer to Lanie!
• Tessa’s kids’ reactions to hearing about Tessa’s offer (one thought it was like Jurassic Park and one thought she was going to make her breakfast!)
• The 3 week trip to Colorado - the bonding, the shots (in restaurants and movie theaters!), and the doctor’s appointments.
• The procedure and the disappointing results.
• The fairytale that Lanie tells the kids about their birth story (and how she handled the “how babies are made” talk with her oldest).
• How Lanie’s story led her to her current career at Conceptions Reproductive Associations of Colorado.
