Episode 14: An Egg and An Act of Sisterly Love — Lanie Wolff

Lanie Wolff is a clinical physicians liaison for Conceptions Reproductive Associations of Colorado. She has a wonderful personal story to share about how her sister Tessa helped her start her family. Hear from Lanie and Tessa as they share their story: • How they went from instant family (including an incident of classic sibling blackmail) to long-distance pen pals.. • Lanie and her husband confronting an only 5% chance of IVF working with her eggs and her husband’s sperm. • Tessa’s blunt (and amazing) offer to Lanie! • Tessa’s kids’ reactions to hearing about Tessa’s offer (one thought it was like Jurassic Park and one thought she was going to make her breakfast!) • The 3 week trip to Colorado - the bonding, the shots (in restaurants and movie theaters!), and the doctor’s appointments. • The procedure and the disappointing results. • The fairytale that Lanie tells the kids about their birth story (and how she handled the “how babies are made” talk with her oldest). • How Lanie’s story led her to her current career at Conceptions Reproductive Associations of Colorado.
