The Fertility Conversation We Should’ve Had at 22

Send us Fan MailIn this week’s episode, Caroline and Eva are joined by Dr. Jaime Knopman, reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and co-author of Own Your Fertility, for the conversation no one had with us early enough. The truth? Fertility doesn’t fall off a cliff — it slowly declines until one day it suddenly matters a lot.They dig into egg freezing as empowerment versus false security, how (and when) to talk to our daughters before panic sets in, and why men need to be part of this conversation too. From ambition and delayed adulthood to single-mom-by-choice culture, this episode goes where most polite conversations never do.Along the way, Dr. Knopman shares real stories from the front lines of fertility medicine — including how frozen eggs can turn into a baby years later in ways that feel miraculous. They also get honest about the things no one taught us: how to make a bed, boil an egg, or plan for our biological future.Unfiltered, hilarious, and unexpectedly emotional, this is the fertility conversation you wish you’d had ten years ago.Reference: https://drjaimeknopman.com/https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Fertility-Freezing-Surrogacy/dp/1324111488 We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one!
