We thought we had the perfect timeline: get married, go to Burning Man, and start trying for kids. But life had other plans. In this first episode, we share how our fertility journey began — starting with an awkward discovery mid-sex (yes, really), an unforgettable wedding complete with whales, and the shocking diagnosis that changed everything.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

•How our relationship evolved over 20 years (from college to now)

•The story behind our wedding and its unexpected guests (whales!)

•The moment Lauren discovered Alex’s swollen lymph nodes… during sex

•The emotional rollercoaster of a shocking diagnosis

•The plot twist that changed everything

• 
  

• If you’ve ever felt like life threw a curveball you didn’t see coming, this episode is for you. We’re sharing it all—the laughs, the tears, and everything in between—to remind you that you’re never alone in the chaos.
