May is Mental Health Awareness month, and there are few things that have such a profound impact on our mental well-being than trying to start a family. As so many parents and would-be parents know, the journey is rarely as straightforward as society would have us believe. This week's podcast episode delves into a topic that's often kept in the shadows: secondary infertility. My guest, Ali Prato, host of the popular podcast "Infertile AF," shares her deeply personal and often misunderstood experience.
Ali's first pregnancy was a dream: straightforward and uncomplicated. But when it came time to expand her family, she was faced with an unexpected and heart-wrenching struggle. The assumption that having a second child would be easy quickly unraveled as she encountered miscarriages and the daunting world of fertility treatments.
In a candid conversation, Ali opens up about the emotional toll of secondary infertility. She discusses the impact it had on her sense of self, her parenting, her body, and most significantly, her marriage. It's a story that many can relate to but few are brave enough to discuss openly.
Ali's journey led her to create Fertility Rally, a support system for women at any stage of their fertility journey. Through this community, she's fostering connections and providing a space for shared experiences and support.
But perhaps the most poignant part of Ali's story is her message of hope and advocacy. As we observe Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode highlights the profound mental health implications of fertility issues. It's a call to normalize conversations around secondary infertility and to advocate for those silently suffering.
