Description:

In this episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa welcomes Joe Cody, founder of Grain Fertility and an IVF dad who knows firsthand the heartbreak and hope of fertility treatment. After six IVF cycles and years of uncertainty, Joe and his wife finally welcomed their daughter—a journey that inspired him to create Grain Fertility, a patient support platform designed to help others navigate the emotional, logistical, and financial challenges of infertility.

Joe shares candidly about the hardest parts of his journey, from the loss of control to the strain on his marriage, and how advocacy work and community support gave him strength. Together, he and Dr. Famuyiwa explore how Grain Fertility provides patients with trained fertility nurses who act as coaches and “fertility doulas”—helping individuals feel informed, supported, and less alone during treatment, especially through the dreaded two-week wait.

They also discuss the balance between medical expertise and emotional care, the unique subscription model Grain Fertility offers, and why having someone to lean on can make all the difference. Whether you’re in the midst of fertility treatment, considering your options, or supporting a loved one, this episode offers hope, guidance, and practical resources for the journey to parenthood.
