Kate K.

Today, Ali is talking to her good friend Kate Knapton, founder of Jojii And Co., about her infertility journey, which ultimately led to having her two children through embryo adoption. Kate talks about finding out her husband had "zero sperm," what happened after his micro-TESE procedure, feeling "so defeated," getting lost in Google rabbit holes and all the anxiety of #TTC. She discusses why they chose to go the embryo adoption route instead of using her eggs with donor sperm, the logistics of adopting an embryo, and grieving their genetics. Kate also discusses pregnancy after infertility, secondary infertility, and why she started Jojii and Co., her jewelry line for #infertilitywarriors.
