What do you do when life throws you cancer, a surprise pregnancy, and a missed miscarriage — all at once? If you’re us, you deal with it the only way you know how: with raw honesty and inappropriate jokes.

This week, we’re sharing one of the most pivotal moments in our journey. From Alex’s hilariously awkward sperm clinic experience to the devastating news at our first prenatal appointment, this episode is a rollercoaster of highs, lows, and everything in between.

What to Expect:

• Alex’s adventures at the sperm clinic (spoiler: the internet history wasn’t cleared).

• The surreal timing of finding out we were pregnant — two days after a cancer diagnosis.

• The emotional unraveling at a prenatal appointment and the hard decisions that follow.

• Navigating a missed miscarriage and the physical and emotional toll it takes.

Trigger Warning:
