As a professional matchmaker, Anna Morgenstern has built a career helping people find love. But her own path to marriage and family building didn’t follow the timeline she once imagined.
In this episode of Modern Conception, Brittney Sobel and Amanda Zurawski sit down with Anna for an honest conversation about meeting her husband later in life, navigating IVF in her 40s, and confronting something that is still too often left out of the fertility conversation: male infertility.
Anna opens up about beginning IVF after getting married, the realities of pursuing fertility treatment in your 40s, and what she wishes more women—and couples—understood about fertility before they are ready to start a family.
We discuss:
• Dating, marriage, and the pressure of the biological clock • Finding your partner later than you expected • IVF and fertility treatment in your 40s • Why infertility isn’t solely a women’s issue • Male-factor infertility and why we don’t talk about it enough • The emotional reality of navigating IVF as a couple • Why both partners should be evaluated when trying to conceive • What Anna’s fertility journey has taught her about love, timing, and letting go of the life plan you thought you’d have
For women who feel caught between finding the right partner and the pressure to start a family, Anna’s story offers a perspective we don’t hear nearly enough: you can be intentional about love without settling—and you can be proactive about fertility without knowing exactly how your story will unfold.
