On today’s show we will be discussing and busting some infertility myths with Kate Rosenkranz, a dear friend of Melissa’s who had an infertility journey before a successful pregnancy. Kate had to undergo a complicated surgery and one round of in-vitro fertilization and two failed transfers before conceiving her son on transfer number 3.  She later conceived her daughter on the first transfer. Kate shares her story and what she learned from her journey (and what she has learned from many others who have gone through infertility). Myths we discuss in this episode: Myth 1:  If you can’t get pregnant, you can quote “just do IVF”. Why is that a problematic way of thinking? Myth 2 & 3. The famous “It’s all in your head! Why don’t you relax and take a vacation! Then you’ll get pregnant!” followed by it’s evil twin the infuriating “Don’t worry so much, it just takes time. You’ll get pregnant if you’re just patient.” Myth 4: Infertility is a woman’s problem. Myth 5: But you’re so young. You have plenty of time to get pregnant.” We also discuss what things that family and friends can do (and what NOT to do or say) when you know someone who is on an infertility journey.   Visit www.resolve.org for compassionate support and information about infertility.
