About Us

 

  • Hi! I’m Amanda Co-founder of What the Fertility Podcast and I am so glad you’re here! ​A little over three years ago my hubs Chris and I got married and were so excited to start a family. Little did we know it wouldn’t be that simple. 3 years of infertility, 1 miscarriage, 2 failed IVF cycles, 5 embryos lost due to genetic abnormalities, and an embryo adoption I am excited to share that we just had our embryo adopted baby this November.

    With my background as a Counselor after having our miscarriage I knew I wanted to share our story publicly. I kept searching for a place of community within this journey of fertility and didn’t want to be ashamed or quiet about it. This is your story and you deserve to tell it. With a love for helping others, I hope this podcast becomes a great outlet that connects you with resources and testimonies that help you walk this journey of fertility.

 
 

  • Hi! I’m Catherine, Co-Founder of What The Fertility. Thank you for being here with us! Three years ago, my husband and I tied the knot. We took a year to travel the world and when January 2020 came around, we started trying to grow our family. With my career focused in OBGYN & high risk maternal fetal care, I was not naïve to the struggles that came along with building a family. Josh and I went on to experience six miscarriages in a span of two years. One of those miscarriages, was a result of our one and only IVF cycle that yielded one perfect embryo. We were officially diagnosed with unexplained reoccurring pregnancy loss.

    I chose to share my story publicly on social media after my first loss. I was overwhelmed by the amount of women saying “me too”. Friends started sending their friends to my page and I started meeting some bad ass women walking through loss and/or infertility. I began to get overwhelmed at the one off conversations and decided why not create a local support group in my city where women could connect with other women walking the same path.

    I saw the impact this support group made and felt compelled to widen our reach. My hope is that this podcast provides resources and a community to feel less alone during an extremely isolating time.

Testimonials

“My Favorite Infertility Podcast”

“So appreciative of Cat and Amanda! This podcast is the perfect blend of information and support for whatever part of this journey we all find ourselves in!”

“My Go-To Pod!”

“Love this podcast and these ladies so much. So much incredible information and such a great resource for the infertility and loss community. It’s my favorite when they go one tangents and other topics are brought in. Can’t wait for Season 3!”

“Community”

This podcast was such a lifeline for me when I was struggling with infertility and two miscarriages and navigating adoption and pregnancy after loss. Not many of us have a bunch of women in our lives who are experiencing those things, so listening to all of these diverse stories and connecting with women online gave me the “community” I needed at that time. And then the courage to share my own story, publicly!

“Refreshing”

“It’s not easy to talk about these things, much less to go through the details of loss and heartache with so much joy, healing, and understanding in your voices. Your energies and spirits are so contagious! This podcast left me feeling hopeful and eager for next week’s episode. Thank you for sharing your journeys with all of us!”

“Don’t Miss Out”

“Engaging and authentic. If you’re just starting your journey with pregnancy, fertility loss, or as silly as it sounds on how to get pregnant, these ladies will help guide you in the right direction.”

“Very Informative & Inclusive”

“This podcast provides so much insight on a very sensitive topic for most. Everyone should take a listen and share with your friends.”

“10/10 Highly Recommend”

“I look forward to this podcast each week. The episodes are very informative and educational. Grateful for these two ladies and their guest sharing their story and journey to help others not feel alone. Episode 2 was very educational especially after having your first visit and round of tests completed. It can at times feel overwhelming with all the information and options being proposed. Dr. Snow was so helpful on sharing her knowledge and advice.”

“Overwhelmed at the Support”

“I’m overwhelmed at the support that is coming to light for women going through fertility struggles. What the fertility is such a wonderful group of women supporting one another. “

“I am so grateful to be part of this!”

“Infertility stinks. You feel like there is nobody that understands or can relate to you…. This community is so encouraging of one another. Whether you are having a bad day, have questions about IUI/IVF/medicine/etc—the girls in this group lift each other up. I am so grateful to be a part of this WTF!”

“I Truly Feel I’ve Found My Tribe…”

“I’m so thankful to be able to participate and be a part of What The Fertility. My feelings of being alone on this journey have subsided a little. Knowing at any point I can reach out to the group or to someone individually is such a relief. It’s educational but most importantly it is so supportive! I place you can really feel heard and seen. I truly feel I’ve found my tribe. The connections I’ve made will last a lifetime.”
