Episode 9: The Onramp & Q&A (your questions answered)

On the ninth episode of Well, That Sucks, Kelsey and Tyler share an update about their pregnancy resulting from their sixth overall treatment and second attempt of in vitro fertilization (IVF). In the second half of the episode, they answer some of the most frequently asked questions listeners have been posing. Why did they choose to do genetic testing? Did they change their diets during their treatments? Are they going to tell their child someday how they were conceived? These questions and more are addressed as Kelsey and Tyler say hello once more before parenthood.

Sidebar Chat: The Real MVP

On this episode of Well, That Sucks, Kelsey has a chat about her infertility journey with a very special guest: her mother. Often referred to as "the third man" or "the real MPV" throughout Kelsey and Tyler's story, Kelsey's mother Reg joins the podcast to highlight her daughter and son-in-law's defining moments along their path to parenthood from her perspective. This intimate one-hour conversation between a mother and her daughter underscores an important theme: infertility takes a village. (Especially with those who love and care about you the most.)

Episode 8: The Squinter

On the eighth episode of Well, That Sucks, Kelsey and Tyler find themselves approaching a new path along their infertility journey when they are introduced to "the squinter." While momentum toward their goal of soon having a family quickly gains, the intensity of the life they experienced over the past year casts a shadow on the moments worth celebrating. However, over time, this shadow begins to lift. As Kelsey and Tyler head in a new direction, they have one question in mind: "What's next?"

Episode 7: The Transfer

On the seventh episode of Well, That Sucks, Kelsey and Tyler hit a new milestone along the path of infertility: the transfer. Two of the 13 eggs they retrieved have formed into healthy, viable embryos -- one of which could be destined as Kelsey's and Tyler's first child. With a mix of nerves and excitement, they know this new marker in their journey could be one of their final stops before becoming parents. But how much farther do they actually need to go?
