Marisol notes that she does not like talking about her fertility, that it feels deeply personal and that she is nervous about talking about it publicly. Three years later and the Marisol and Adam have grown to talk about fertility, infertility, making babies, IVF and the surrogate process a whole lot! Join us as we listen back on pt. 1 of our fertility series. This was the first time we put out a deeply personal episode related to growing our family and adding children into our lives.

This episode originally aired on 11/21/2019 and for those doing the math, we gave birth to Neo Luther 4/21/2021 so this was not the end of our journey for sure, but it was great insight to where we were emotionally in the process. It was the first time we had started dabbling our toes into the medical side of fertility and had started taking letrozole with our cycle.

As we have spent the last season navigating our next fertility journey it feels important to walk back in time to when we first started recording and publicly speaking about our fertility journey with Neo. It was a long road that ended in our now two year-olds life. As we take a small break in putting out new episodes (we have not stopped recording) we are navigating a new kind of fertility journey again as we move forward with a surrogate carrying our embryo from our first cycle of IVF. I hope you enjoy this step back in time.
