My infertility friends
I felt so alone when I found this podcast. I say this podcast hits in the way I had wished FB groups would have. Just listening has helped me process a lot of complex feelings and I feel so supported and seen

Stop Scrolling
I am in a better place mentally because of this podcast and the help of Jesse & Doug’s process groups. Here you find community, humor and help work through really hard feelings!

Realization
This podcast has helped me better understand what I’ve been through mentally. Following a pregnancy loss at 22 weeks, I quickly jumped into infertility treatment, desperate for a way out of the anguish and self blame. After two IVF cycles and zero healthy embryos, the delayed pain came back to me. I am part of a support group but didn’t realize the profound change to my mind until I listened to this podcast. Your compassion, good spirit and analysis are very healing. Thank you!

Thank you
There is almost no acknowledgment of infertility. This podcast acknowledges the pain and life changing experience of infertility. It’s a blessing for me to hear their thoughts and insights.

So relatable!
In a world where you and your spouse are walking the journey together alone, this is so relatable! So refreshing. The church around us cares but no one understands it completely because no one else has been where we are presently. Somedays you just need to hear it from someone who’s walking the journey too.

Love the hosts, hate the music
I love the hosts of this podcast and the content overall. There aren’t many infertility podcasts where a couple hosts together, so I really appreciate that. However, I sadly can’t stand to listen for one small reason: every single time they get into the meat of the discussion / the emotional part, they start playing instrumental music in the background. This reminds me of classic evangelical alter calls in the worst way. I want to listen without being distracted by music. Please please release podcasts without background music for me to listen to! 🙏🙏🙏

Got me through so much darkness
From really a non-podcast person, highly highly recommend. Life affirming during this time of grief. I have been binge listening to this podcast for about 5 weeks, I only have a couple of episodes left and I’m getting sad. Because that means I will have to wait weeks between episodes as opposed to having Doug & Jesse with me all day every day, helping me process and recognize the daily emotional struggles that I don’t always talk about with others. I feel like I’ve been crying, laughing and feeling all the things in conversation with them these last few weeks and I’m going to miss that. I may have to re-listen to them all again, who knows. What I’m saying is, LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST.

The most genuine thank you
This podcast has been so incredibly helpful to me as were navigating the journey of infertility. I can’t express enough how meaningful it is that Jesse and Doug completely validate all of the emotions we feel during infertility, and aren’t afraid to address the hard stuff in such an accessible way. It isn’t an easy journey, but listening to Infertility Feelings has absolutely helped to ease some of the pain, anxiety, stress and every other emotion that comes along the way. Thank you both so much for doing what you do!

This Podcast Is A Godsend
This podcast is a godsend. It helps give me words to how I am feeling during my own journey. It helps make me feel less alone because they really get it and have gone through it themselves. I could not recommend this podcast enough.

Just what I needed…just when I needed it!
Your most recent episode about infertility and your body was just what I needed to hear. We have been dealing with infertility for 3 years with 2 miscarriages, chemical pregnancies, and failed IUI and IVF cycles. So many of the messages in this episode hit so close to my heart and I have felt so many of the same feelings. Thank you for sharing your experiences openly and being a safe space for people experiencing infertility.

8 years of infertility this is what I needed in my journey 🥹

The other side of infertility
Being a husband and dealing and grieving with infertility is a different animal and is the other side of infertility. Being a supportive husband and guiding rod for my wife during our 6+ years struggle has been difficult at times because as a husband, I need to be able to fix things when they’re broken. Not being able to fix this…has been nearly unbearable for me. Our faith has been vital in keeping us steady on this path and our hope is renewed through our support and love for each other and in God.
Thank you guys for continuing this discussion and letting others know that infertility has many facets to it.

Thank you
I have been struggling with infertility for 6-7 years. I just started treatment. When I listen to this podcast I feel like my thoughts are being said out loud and I am among friends. Thank you for creating these episodes and giving a space for all the thoughts and feelings that come with infertility. Much love!

110% relatable
Oh my gosh, i originally found snippet of the podcasts on tiktok, and let me tell you some of these episodes literally have caught me dead in my tracks, like WHOA, that was very relatable or 100% caught me off guard because this journey has been so long, and lonely. And it’s been wonderful to learn I’m never alone 🩵

So needed
This podcast always hits different. In a world of TOXIC positivity (can I say TOXIC again?), Jesse and Doug treat the reality of infertility with raw truth.
For years I felt like I couldn’t share my story because it doesn’t have a happy ended. Until I realized there was beauty in what I’ve survived and my story should be shared.
Thank you for shedding light on what it’s like to live through infertility and feeling all the feels. Thank you for holding space for us.

Thank you, thank you, thank you
Whenever I’m struggling my way through another feeling related to infertility, this is where I turn. So far, there has always been an episode that is just what I need to hear! Sending a million thanks for this podcast 🙏

It’s like they read my mind
This podcast has been THE single best resource in my infertility journey to help me process my feelings. I often feel like “wow they read my mind” or finally understand WHY I feel the way I do. Very validating.

Thank You!
I recently found your podcast and am in no way close to being caught up on all of them (started listening with the very first episode and am currently on the July 5th, 2021 episode but I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Because of your show I have realized that I am in no way alone in my struggle. You have also given me an inside into what might being coming up in my infertility journey and that is super helpful. Also because of your show I realized that I definitely need to go to therapy and I have an appointment scheduled and am so excited for it! Your show really opened my eyes to a lot of different things that I had no idea were happening to me and things that have happened to other people and I am eternally grateful for that! So again thank you for this and for giving a voice to the infertility community!

Infertility
I am so thankful I found you guys on TikTok. I’m currently in therapy. And have been having a hard time navigating threw my infertility journey. And just being able to hear that I’m not alone in how I feel and that this is a process I can grieve makes me feel better. So many women feel so alone and stuck in this battle. And I’m forever grateful to have found you guys. Thank you for making women feel less alone in this journey.

Thankful

This podcast has helped me feel less alone and work through some of the feelings and emotions that come along with infertility.

feel loved & seen
I’m so thankful I stumbled upon a Tik Tok video from Uniquely Knitted in the middle of our infertility journey. Every episode speaks the truth and makes us feel seen and loved during our journey. Many times I have used quotes from the episode to explain infertility to those who has no idea what it’s like.

Listened to one episode and already feel so seen. Thank you ❤️

Thank you
It is hard to put into words. The comfort that this podcast has brought to me throughout my infertility journey. I have turned to this podcast in moments of absolute despair, and it feels like no matter what the right words are always said to bring a little bit of comfort and grace to myself in the situations. I started listening this past year, but I’ve gone through and listened to very old episodes that resonate with the specific situation I’m dealing with at the time of this journey. I hope to get into their process groups sometime soon. Jesse and Doug are the best !!

So Healing
I found this podcast in desperation and am so grateful I did. It has been so healing for me as I navigate my infertility journey. I love the dialogue between Jesse and Doug as well as with all the guests. I’m hoping I can get my husband to listen along since Doug gives a great perspective from the husband’s point of view. This podcast allows me to FEEL my feelings and that is so therapeutic. 10/10 recommend no matter where you are in your journey.

Infertility thoughts and thank you
I found this podcast after finding out that I maybe might have to use donor eggs. My first listen was Infertility and Biological Children, I found this so healing and helpful for me navigating this extremely sticky situation. I really appreciate you both. Thank you for giving my feelings words and for being in this place with me. I feel less alone just listening to your thoughts.

Perfect
This podcast is everything I was looking for but couldn’t put into words until I found it. I love everything about it. It is like a mini therapy session in my pocket whenever I need it! The hosts are so relatable and I love that they are a couple who are processing things together. They make me feel so understood in my infertility journey. I love the topics they go over and they always seem to come right at the time I need them. Thank you!!

Infertility can be a lonely process.. this podcast has helped me realize that all my feelings and frustrations are real. It’s gave me the confidence to talk to my family about it and overall has helped me mental understanding I’m not alone.

REAL!
My husband and I are beginning to navigate the journey of infertility, which feels like so much to unpack. This podcast has been SO validating and really given context to a multitude of things we’re processing. Plus, they are SO REAL and super funny! I’ve felt like I’m in the room with friends who just get it; no explanations and no questions asked. If you’re looking for someone to hear you and meet you wherever you’re at, you’re in the right place. 💜

Glad I found this podcast!
Just started this troubling ride and I’m glad I’ve found you. Catching up with all the episodes that relate to my feelings right now.

Really wanted to like this
Unfortunately the first episode I listened to was about infertility and trauma. The guest talked about how infertility trauma is worse than SA trauma because with SA trauma “you get over it” and infertility trauma is ongoing.
How horrifying. My SA trauma is absolutely ongoing. How dare this so called expert? Definitely enough for me to not give the other episodes a chance since the episode on trauma was in fact retraumatizing

Open discussions about diverse fertility journeys
This podcast explores a wide variety of fertility experiences, from secondary infertility, to using a gestational surrogate, to moving to adoption, etc, and explores the emotions associated with different life situations while on this journey. They also devote sessions to discussions with a mental health expert about anxiety and depression associated with infertility. It is nice to also hear a man’s perfective, though he can be a bit mansplainy at times.

Saving grace
On a desperate day I typed into my search bar “infertility”, specifically looking for a podcast that I could ultimately confide in. I found EXACTLY that in this podcast. I’ve felt seen, heard, comforted, and validated with hearing Jesse & Doug’s voices. I’ve been struggling with infertility for 2.5 years and can honestly say that just over the last month of listening to this show, I have managed to begin my grieving process and remind myself that I’m still worthy and that I matter, despite going through this awful journey. I hope to soon get the courage to quit only listening and to join their support group. Thank you Doug & Jesse for being here for me. 🤍

Found my people
I’ve been struggling with infertility for 1.5 years and was recently gifted a uniquely knitted care package. So delighted to have found this podcast and feel heard by those on a similar journey. Thank you Jesse and Doug!

Validation and understanding
I am new to the world of infertility, my first visit with a specialist is this week. I found Infertility Feelings on Mother’s Day and listened to the Mother’s Day episode, and wow. The feelings I have been struggling to verbalize were so eloquently recorded into a brief podcast episode, and I was hooked. The comfort that comes from hearing that you’re not alone is unbelievable. I have since dug into the podcast, and I’m excited to have this on my journey.

Highly recommend !!!
This podcast is so relatable and helps me feel and realize that I am not alone in the struggles of infertility. They do a great job of being inclusive of all aspects of infertility and journeys to expanding families. Highly recommend!!!

Covers almost all topics of infertility!
I love this podcast because The hosts are so relatable and they make you feel like you’re talking to a friend and not just listening to an informative podcast, they talk to their audience like they are in the same room as them having a pretty typical conversation. They also cover a lot of topics about infertility that a lot of people don’t talk about, I also enjoy that they bring people that can provide more information or just interview! Definitely a great podcast if you’re struggling with infertility and just need to hear your own thoughts put into words by others who understand you!

Love it!
If infertility has affected your life, this is the pod cast for you! With each concept that is discussed the host Jesse and Doug work to express all points of view. “Your place to laugh, cry and process.” Look forward to their show every week!

The first chapter of my healing process
This podcast has been the beginning of my healing process as my husband and I still navigate through the roller coaster of infertility journey.
The episodes allowed me to begin to understand what was really going on with me/husband. I felt less alone, supported, like someone finally got me/ us!
Then the episodes led me to Jesse’s Instagram page. Where I then started messaging questions, her support and responses the. led it me to the resilience group. There I met the most amazing couples who sat with me through our grief and our story. And who I can still count on having my back at all times.
This podcast will forever change your life and I promise it will begin YOUR healing journey.

A must listen!
Dealing with infertility is hard but this podcast allows you to relate to others going through the same thing as you. They also provide great ways to deal with different things throughout this journey.

Just what I needed!
This podcast is just what I needed! As an educator dealing with infertility around the holidays, there were several episodes that validated my feelings but also gave tips on how to handle these emotions. I have shared the episodes with friends. Thank you for sharing!
Comsa003
Wonderful spot on
This podcast is wonderful, it’s the only place I feel understood. I literally feel like you all are inside my brain! Infertility and pregnancy loss has been a great challenge for me and you all make it a little easier. I’ve shared your episodes with family and friends when they ask what they can do to help, because it gives them a peek at what infertility is actually like. Thank you for creating this podcast and talking about the hardest part of treatment that clinics don’t talk about, emotions! You guys rock!

Love it!
I’ve been following for a little while. The holiday episode is a must listen for everyone—those struggling with infertility and those not. Everything they *beep* said is Spot. On.

Thank you
Wish I’d found y’all earlier. The empathy, resources, topics, and space created that offers information and healing have been so incredibly helpful. Just to go on a walk, listen to one of your podcasts, and feel I have permission to just release ALL of the emotions I’ve been holding onto has been a true blessing. Thank you!!!
