Episode 12: Frozen Embryo Transfer + The Things People Say

The podcast is back! I’ve returned from my three month hibernation (moving, holidays, and IVF) and am looking forward to getting into my rhythm again.

In this episode I talk about what the past few months have been like and where we are in our IVF journey. 

I’ll also be responding to listener generated questions this season and in this episode I’m answering a particularly loaded question: “How do you respond to unintentionally rude or unhelpful comments [during life after pregnancy loss and trying to conceive again]?” 

In the episode I share some of the most common comments I’ve received and how they’ve made me feel. I talk about how I’ve responded to them and my best practices for communicating during pregnancy loss, grief, and trying to conceive. My intention is not to shame anyone who’s unintentionally said something hurtful (I’ve certainly done it!) but rather to share insight, grace, and encouragement for both recipients and givers of comments.
