Infertility, IVF & What I Wish Someone Had Told Me w/ Jaime Knopman

Becky Fawcett Season 1 Episode 3

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I sit down with my friend Dr. Jaime Knopman—reproductive endocrinologist and fierce truth-teller in the world of infertility and IVF. We talk about the pain of failed cycles, the grief no one prepares you for, and how too many people exit fertility treatment with nothing but heartbreak and empty arms. I share my own story—five rounds of IVF, three miscarriages, and a life-changing pivot to adoption.

This isn’t about promoting one path over another—it’s about being honest. It’s about saying what too many are afraid to say. It’s about building a bridge between IVF and adoption, one that’s rooted in support, compassion, and real facts—not shame, myths, or fear.

We talk about what needs to change, how to support friends going through it, and why no one should walk this road alone. If you’re in the thick of it, or love someone who is, this conversation is for you.
