Natural conception, in vitro fertilization, intrauterine insemination, adoption... Heck, even accidental pregnancy. The path to parenthood can take many forms. For some, it’s more arduous than others. Long-time friend of Marc, fellow podcaster, and all-around great guy, Ryan Murphy joins the show to share his and his wife’s journey with IVF. Things even get a little... personal here and there. At the top of the show, Adam obliges a much-need therapy session for Marc. [This is part one of a two-part interview.]
In Episode 53 of Modern Dadhood, the guys open with a discussion around a stressful and exhausting situation in Marc's home which involves one of his twins. The guys welcome one of Marc's longtime friends into the conversation. Ryan Murphy shares candidly about his and his wife's unsuccessful attempts to conceive a child naturally, which led them to IUI (intrauterine insemination) and then to IVF (in vitro fertilization). In Part 1 of the conversation, the guys discuss topics including:
• The expectation that it will be "so easy" to get pregnant
• "Geriatric pregnancy"
• IUI versus IVF
• What is a "Collection Room"?
• A typical IVF timeline
• And more
The conversation continues in the next episode of Modern Dadhood on 10/22/21
