Trying to Conceive: “Unexplained Infertility”, IUI, and IVF
Getting pregnant looks different for everyone. For us, it took 3+ years of trying, and multiple rounds of both IUI (intrauterine insemination) and IVF. In this episode, we talk about the logistics of all that, and also our feelings. So many feelings.

Taking Charge of Your Fertility
Maya also kept a detailed blog of our fertility journey. We don’t share the link publicly (it’s, uh, extremely graphic and personal), but if you’re going through or about to embark on something similar and the details would help you out, email us and we’re happy to share it with you.
We highly recommend the Master of None episode about IVF (season 3, episode 4 – it's on Netflix)! Extremely accurate portrayal of the IVF process. Just be warned, parts might be triggering or upsetting if you're about to do IVF or had your own emotional experience with it.
