121. Ali Prato, from Infertile AF Podcast shares her raw, personal story of navigating the emotionally taxing space between having her first child naturally in her mid-30s and struggling to expand her family years later. From the emotional toll of four miscarriages to borrowing funds from family to afford a single round of IVF, Ali details the daunting process of self-administered injections, waiting on embryo genetically testing results, and putting all her hopes into a single healthy embryo.
Ali's story moves from the anxiety-ridden early days of pregnancy after loss to the overwhelming joy of hearing her son’s heartbeat and delivering him safely via C-section at age 41. Beyond her birth story, Ali discusses the reality of parenting later in life, the power of finding a community that understands fertility struggles, and her ongoing work to destigmatize assisted reproductive technology through her children's books and media platform. Her experience offers reassurance, practical perspective, and deep comfort to anyone currently navigating the uncertain path to completing their family.
