This week, The Lady Birds 🐦✨ dive into Jess’s personal journey with fertility and IUI (intrauterine insemination). We talk about navigating fertility as a queer couple, choosing a sperm donor, and all the emotional (and logistical) highs and lows that came with it.
We also chat about her experience choosing a sperm donor, hilarious donor profiles, and the real impact of stress on fertility (spoiler: it’s not easy to just “relax”). Whether you’re TTC, supporting someone who is, or just curious about the process, we hope this episode feels like a supportive convo with friends who’ve been there.
