Early Menopause to Pregnancy at 47: Donor Egg Success

116. Alisa experienced unexplained hot flashes and night sweats in her early thirties, no doctor thought to test her hormone levels because of her young age. It wasn't until she was diagnosed with advanced early menopause at 31 that her long, winding path to parenthood truly began, a journey that would span a divorce, years of self-advocacy, and knowing the love of her life for years.

In this open and inspiring episode, Alisa candidly shares how she navigated choosing donor eggs, traveling to Barbados for IVF, overcoming pregnancy anxiety, and ultimately welcoming her baby girl at age 47. From using a laptop and a glass of wine to pick their egg donor to experiencing a room full of supportive women during her delivery, Alisa's story is a powerful reminder that motherhood over 40 doesn't follow a rigid timeline and your dream is worth fighting for.
