Kristyn Hodgdon :
Hi, I'm Kristyn Hodgdon, an IVF mom, proud fertility advocate, and co-founder of Rescripted. Welcome to Dear (In)fertility, the first-ever podcast that doubles as an advice column for fertility, infertility, and pregnancy loss. This season we're going back to our roots, highlighting personal fertility stories from those who have been there, through IVF, egg freezing, donor conception, surrogacy, and more. Now, let's dive in and work towards ending the stigma around fertility, infertility, and pregnancy loss.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Hi, everyone, and welcome back to Dear (In)fertility. I'm your host, Kristyn, and I'm here with Sara Herron. Hi, Sara!

Sarah Herron:
Hi! So good to finally chat with you and meet you in person.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
I know!

Sarah Herron:
Virtually.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
We're Instagram friends, but yes, so happy to have you here. For those of you who don't know Sarah, she's internationally recognized as Sarah from The Bachelor. But to us, Sarah Herron is better known for her adventurous and vulnerable Instagram posts. Born and raised in Colorado, today, she is a self proclaimed outdoor enthusiast and storyteller and is currently expecting her first child with her fiance, Dylan, Congratulations!

Sarah Herron:
Thank you. I know so many feelings around it.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Oh, I'm sure, I've been there. So how are you feeling?

Sarah Herron:
Oh my gosh. Kind of depends on the hour, if I'm being honest. But I feel really good right now, I feel great today. I'm also recovering from a broken leg or my knee. I broke my knee a couple of months ago, actually, like the same day I found out I was pregnant. So it's been serious roller coaster for the last two months.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
I'm sure. Well, I mean, that'll be a good story to tell your future, baby.

Sarah Herron:
I know, I know. I'll be like, we were so excited about you. I just, Mommy went out and broke her leg over it!

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Oh, my gosh. So before we get into the nitty-gritty, I want to kind of go back and just, can you tell us in your own words, like your brief overview of your path to, to getting to this point?

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, sure. And I'm sure, like every woman, it's not so brief, right?

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Totally true.

Sarah Herron:
But I will try to summarize it. Essentially, my now fiancee, he was just my boyfriend at the time, Dylan. We decided we'd been together for about four years, and we knew we wanted to spend our lives together and wanted to start trying for a family. So we tried giving it a go for about seven months with no luck. I mean, nothing like I was ovulating perfectly, but it just wasn't working out. So I went in and got my fertility tested, turned out I had diminished ovarian reserve, and it was suggested to me that I immediately start IVF, IUI wasn't even really an option. My gynecologist was just like, you should just go straight to IVF, so it was really hard to receive that news so fast. It just kind of like hits you like a ton of bricks. And I got a referral to a few different doctors, scheduled my consultations, and before I knew it, I was starting IVF medication. I've now been through three egg retrievals and two transfers. During the process, Dylan and I found out we're both carriers of cystic fibrosis.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Wow.

Sarah Herron:
So that threw an added wrench into the genetic testing of our embryos. And I've had, one, my first transfer resulted in a chemical pregnancy, and my second transfer was successful. So that's where we are. I hope that was brief enough.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
No, it didn't have to be super brief, but because sometimes it's not, and that's how it goes.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Well, I'm sorry for your loss. I feel like I've had a chemical pregnancy and it's, I hate that term even, because it's like you're pregnant and then you weren't, and that really sucks. So how was, I mean, how was going through three rounds of IVF? I mean, it's, and finding out about the cystic fibrosis.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Was it through the genetic carrier screening that you found that out?

Sarah Herron:
Yeah. So we decided to do the genetic carrier screening like two days before waiting for, like, while our eggs were fertilizing, you know, we were waiting on the results still. So we didn't even know when I went in for the egg retrieval that we were both carriers of this. And then Dr. Amy advised, my fertility doctor, she suggested we should do the, she suggested we should do the genetic carrier screening while we were waiting for the egg retrieval results. And that's when we found out we both had cystic fibrosis, and it was like, came out of nowhere. We had no idea.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Wow.

Sarah Herron:
I don't have any family members who've ever been affected by it. Dylan has one cousin who's been affected by it, but it just never, it certainly never crossed his mind. I don't think he was really thinking of that. And I never knew his cousin. So it never occurred to me either. And so.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Thank God for Dr. Amy, right?

Sarah Herron:
No, I know, she was.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
I just met her this week, actually. We were at Mass around the big fertility conference out in Anaheim, and I was like, I feel like you're a celebrity and I'm so excited to be.

Sarah Herron:
I know. Isn't she amazing?

Kristyn Hodgdon :
She is.

Sarah Herron:
She's, you know, she's just the coolest lady ever. I love her. And she's been so kind and generous and like, has invited me into her house when I've been out in California by myself. She just makes me feel like family. So, yeah, we found out about the cystic fibrosis, and that has just affected the number of chromosomal normal embryos that we had. So what would have been like, I think originally seven or eight chromosomal normal embryos, four or five of them were affected by the cystic fibrosis. And so that was just like a pretty big hit, you know, like we weren't expecting that.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
How did that feel like just knowing that you had such I mean, do you feel like it was sort of a silver lining to IVF, the fact that you had to find all that out and?

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, like we kind of felt like the universe maybe brought us to Dr. Amy because we needed to find out about the cystic fibrosis. Like, clearly we had no idea. And, and you can't help but kind of, you know, the mind is a meaning-making machine. And so you can't help but wonder if, like, oh, my gosh, well, maybe that's why we couldn't get pregnant all along. You just don't know. And so it was like an added punch to the gut. But, you know, we were grateful to be in the position that we were. And Dr. Amy was very committed to like, well, don't worry, like, we'll get you the number of embryos that you'll need for the size of the family you want. So we kind of just embraced early on that it was going to take probably multiple egg retrievals and multiple attempts.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah. And then how many embryos were healthy embryos, did you have before you decided to move on to a transfer?

Sarah Herron:
We did our first transfer when we actually had five or I think we had six embryos banked. And so we're like, let's move forward with one transfer. And at the time, Dr. Amy thought that potentially I had endometriosis, but of course we couldn't confirm it. I had done the receptiva test and had a positive score on it. So we had some like signs and symptoms of endometriosis but couldn't confirm it. And so when the first transfer was unsuccessful, Dr. Amy said, I really want to revisit the conversation of endometriosis because I think that could have played a role in the implantation trouble. So we decided let's move forward with as many more egg retrievals as it takes to like secure our bank, fill our bank, and then we'll treat the endometriosis. So I immediately did two back-to-back egg retrievals, which were brutal. Like, I know when you're experiencing infertility and you're going through IVF treatments, you want to just kind of like power through it and you're like, let's just keep going, let's just keep going. But two back-to-back retrievals was really, really hard on my body and I wasn't expecting it to be as hard as it was.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Did you have to travel to California every time?

Sarah Herron:
Yes. So I go out to see Dr. Amy for every retrieval, transfer, biopsy, it's been a lot, a lot of travel, but I just feel like I'm in the best hands, and so it's worth it.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah.

Sarah Herron:
But yeah, it's been been a year.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah, I, it's such a catch 22 because you do, fertility feels very time sensitive, you want to power through, but sometimes, and then sometimes even if you're like physically ok mentally you're struggling or vice versa, so.

Sarah Herron:
Totally.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
It's definitely a roller coaster for sure.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah. And even after those two egg retrievals, like you said, I was very like, okay, let's move forward with the transfer. Like we got our, time is sensitive. But I was kind of forced to just pause because I had to wait for that endometriosis surgery. Then I had to wait to heal from the surgery. So it was like I was put on a mandatory seven-month wait. And honestly, at the end of that time period, I felt so good. I felt like I was me again. I felt like I had my body back and I was just like, if I could offer anyone advice now, I'm like, take the time to recharge in between cycles, because you may not realize it in the moment, but like when I finally had time to step away from IVF, I just felt like such a better person, I felt like me again.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
The fog lifts, right?

Sarah Herron:
Yeah. Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
That's where I'm at right now. I spent a year trying for a third baby. I did four transfers, two miscarriages, two failed implantations. And then I was like, you know what? I just need a break. And I'm like, you're sort of on autopilot. And then when you come out of it, you're like, oh, this is actually who I am. It's so all-consuming that your brain just doesn't have room for anything else. And then you go on a break and it's like.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
You have hobbies again or.

Sarah Herron:
Exactly! And I also feel like it's very easy for you to start to feel like the IVF becomes your identity in a little sense of it because it's like you are so consumed by it that then when you take a break, you're like, oh, I'm not doing anything IVF right now, like who am I? What do I do with my time again? And it's just like the things we do for our fertility. But it is it's very consuming.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
It is. What was the hardest part through all of that?

Sarah Herron:
I think.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Was it physically, was it emotionally?

Sarah Herron:
Yeah. I do. I felt like the first, you know, I was going to say I feel like the first transfer it was more emotional than the next. But really I think I struggled with the body changes the most. Like bad news is so disappointing, but I feel grateful I have an amazing partner and support system and I'm in therapy and I felt like well prepared to get through hard times. But like the body changes are real and, and especially as someone who's recovered from disordered eating, like when you start to see your body change again, like those voices get really loud and it's really uncomfortable to sit in that. So I would say that was the hardest, especially with my first transfer. Like I questioned for a while, like I don't even know if I can be pregnant. Like the ED voices were just so loud that I was like, I don't know if I can do this.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
And does Dr. Amy, did she have any theories as to why the first transfer didn't work after the endo surgery?

Sarah Herron:
So the first transfer was before endometriosis surgery.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Oh, okay. So then the first transfer worked after the surgery?

Sarah Herron:
Yes. Correct.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Oh, wow.

Sarah Herron:
So first transfer did not work, then I had endo surgery.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Okay.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah. Yeah. And then I did a second transfer and it was successful. And also with the second transfer, we implemented Lovenox, which we didn't do the first transfer. So I think that probably played a role. Who knows? I could probably theorize for days, but.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Well, then, I should ask, so did they find anything during the surgery?

Sarah Herron:
So they found stage one endo on my ovaries, which was like, you know, you kind of in a way going to the surgery, hoping like I hope they find stage four. And that's going to explain why I've had infertility and like you just hope you're going to get answers. Not that I would ever wish stage for endometriosis on anyone, you know, but you hope that it's going to give you some sort of validation. And so when I woke up and they said, we found stage one, you're kind of like, well, I'm glad because that's validating. And to hear that it was on my ovaries is validating because that could have been impacting egg quality. But you're like, well, that doesn't really explain anything in my uterus. So it kind of like didn't really answer the questions, but it gave me a little bit of clarity and truly I won't know, I haven't had like my AMA retested since the surgery. I would be very curious to test that. But, you know, I hope it had something to do with it. But I don't want to say like, I just hate to send people off on this path that's like, you know, like surgery is intensive and if it can be avoided, I would recommend it. But if it truly can, like course, correct your infertility, then it's worth it. But surgery is very invasive, so.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah, wndomitriosis is tricky in general because it's technically the only way to officially diagnose it is through surgery. But I mean, there are some things that can be done, like Lupron, I know can help suppress your system if you have endometriosis before a transfer. But yeah, I mean, it's hard to know. What was the reasoning for Dr. Amy kind of setting you up on that path? Why did she suspect that you had it?

Sarah Herron:
Well, because we did the receptiva test as just like precaution, like Dr. Amy likes to test you for everything. Like, let's just throw all the paint on the wall and see what sticks.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
I like that because so much of fertility is reactive versus proactive. And a lot of times it's like after three failed transfers, then you finally start getting testing and.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
You know, if you could just know, I know not everyone has access to care and that's a whole other issue and insurance coverage. But.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
If you can do it, why not get answers kind of sooner rather than later.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, that's kind of how, how we felt too is we were like, we would rather just front load everything if we could rather than because if you go through multiple failed transfers like that adds up to financially. And so, because of that and then also I have a retroverted uterus. And so I've always experienced pain during intercourse, but other than that, like I didn't really have any endo symptoms. I have a heavy first day flow and that's about it. So it was kind of like you tested positibe, BCL six, but like there aren't enough symptoms. So it was kind of just a gray area, but it was enough than after the first transfer didn't work that we were like, okay, let's try. And at this point I actually had already reached my insurance deductible. So like I basically had the endo surgery for free. I mean, not free, but.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah.

Sarah Herron:
I had to pay the anesthesiologist and that was it.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Oh, I know. I feel like. And then you get, like, bills two months later.

Sarah Herron:
I know. I'll probably get a bill in February once my insurance has renewed. And they're like, here's your bill for that surgery.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
We heard you on a podcast that it was free.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
It wasn't.

Sarah Herron:
They're coming for me. Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
So you spoke a little bit about having a supportive partner. How has IVF and everything you've been through sort of affected your relationship?

Sarah Herron:
It's such a good question. I mean, if anything, I definitely think it's strengthened our relationship, strengthened our bond. I feel so much more connected to Dylan and I think there's just like we're learning, it's the hardest thing our relationship has ever been put through. We're not married yet. We're engaged now, but it's the hardest thing we've ever had to go through. And so it's showing us our true colors and who we are and how we can show up and support each other. But it's also taken its toll, like infertility takes a toll on your intimacy. It takes a toll on, you know, like sometimes being able to connect emotionally or intimately. Sometimes you're just burnout. Like the burnout from infertility and IVF treatments like seeps into other areas of your life. So it's strengthened us in deep, meaningful ways. And it's also strained our intimacy and connection at times that I'm like, it shouldn't be like this. We're only six years into our relationship, but that's just kind of the reality of it.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah, it's definitely very stressful. And I remember someone, a close friend of ours was having relationship troubles while we were going through infertility, and I was like, if you guys are fighting over that before you're even like, what happens if you have real, real? He was genuinely coming to me asking me for advice. And I'm like, I think if you guys are having these problems now, it's like, what happens if you were to go through something like that? Just puts things into perspective.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, I feel like Dylan and I could get through anything together now, having been through this. And also the surprising thing was like learning that Dylan processes things in his own way too, like, it's not just about me. It's not just comforting and soothing me. It's like Dylan is, he's experiencing his own world of emotions also. And so I have to understand that and show up for him, to which I've never been in a relationship like this long or to that, you know, degree. And so that's been a learning curve for me as well. But it's been, I mean, I hate to say like, oh, infertility has been great for our relationship but it has strengthened us.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
That's great. Were you always sort of open with family and friends about your journey, or did you kind of hit a point where you started opening up more?

Sarah Herron:
I've always been an open book in any chapter of my life regarding anything. And so when I found out about the diminished ovarian reserve, I will never forget that day, the way the doctor tells you just, or at least for me, my experience felt so like kind of dismissive, like, here's your situation. Here's a pamphlet.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
That's exactly what happened to me.

Sarah Herron:
Good luck.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
I got a PCOS pamphlet and was, and was sent home like, oh, this is probably what's going to happen, blah, blah, blah. I'm like.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
I don't even know what questions to ask.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, And it's like, I wasn't prepared for that at all. I thought she was going to be like, let's get you started on, I don't know what the medications they use for a couple rounds, you know.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
.... Clomid, Letrozole.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah.

Sarah Herron:
So I thought like we'd go to that step first. And so it just felt like almost like a terminal diagnosis, like it just, because also my world view at the time was so small around infertility that I just didn't know anything, I didn't know any better. And so I was like, well this can't be possible. Like, all I know of IVF is that it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and it's for like women in their forties. Like, that sounds so small minded now that I know. But like at the time I was like, this can't be true. And so when that happened and I had processed it, I was just like, I want to be able to now use my platform to let other women going through this know that it's not a terminal diagnosis like it's not. There is community, there are so many people out there who are also experiencing what you're experiencing. I just wanted to like normalize the conversation around infertility because clearly, like, my perception was so skewed and so far off. I just wanted to help change that for other people.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
What was the reaction when you sort of went public with your journey on Instagram?

Sarah Herron:
It was very well received. You know, so many people were like telling me their stories, strangers and people that I know and have worked with and had very intimate friendships with came out of the woodworks being like, yeah, our little, you know, Jocey, or I don't know, I'm making that name up, was an IVF baby and I had no idea. Like literally so many women that I worked with back in the office setting told me that they had done IVF and I never knew while we were working together. And so it just occurred to me like, how many women do need fertility support and how much more normal it is than I had thought. And so it was just comforting. It was reassuring. I even had like my own cousin, you know, tell me that she had to do IVF, and I had no idea. And then that made me kind of sad that also so many women, you know, have kept it private, and I respect everyone's decision. But it's also kind of sad to think that it's something that they had to go through alone. And I wish I could have been there for them when they were going through it.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah, absolutely. Sometimes when you open up about something, it's always like, oh, no way, me too. And then you're like, wait, I could have opened up about the sooner or, you know, why are so many people feeling like they can't talk about this?

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
So what advice would you give someone who's kind of just starting out on this journey?

Sarah Herron:
I think the advice I would give someone is honestly to, like, I said earlier, to pace yourself, to have grace with the timeline. I know there's that urge to feel like like we mentioned earlier, time is of the essence. I must keep chugging along. I understand that urge, but if I could offer anyone advice, it's just to like, slow down and let things have a beat. Let things kind of process the way that they're supposed to process. And secondly, it would be to develop or form some sort of care team, whether that's a therapist, a good friend, finding an online community to tap into. But I would recommend at least three outlets that you can connect to because.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
..., yeah.

Sarah Herron:
That's just like helped me feel not so alone. And I do belong to a lot of Facebook groups and it's just like, you don't even have to engage if you don't want, just read them. I just like read people's posts and it makes you feel not as alone.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah, absolutely. At Rescripted, we have like our own feed on our platform where you can kind of go off, because some people don't even want to like post on social media because they don't want anyone to see that they liked infertility accounts. So we kind of took it off of traditional social media and there's a feed of about like 10,000, maybe 11,000 women now, where you can kind of meet other people who get it and filter by diagnosis and all that stuff. Because even if you're not open with, like I've met people in our support groups who are super engaged in the community at Rescripted, but they like haven't even told their mom that they're going through IVF, which is totally fine. Like as long as you have your support systems in place, whether it's therapy or whatever it is.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, I know. The Facebook groups or Reddit groups or, I don't know, I'm not on Reddit, but you know, like wherever you can find those pages I think are just a wealth of knowledge. You can find strength in numbers, you can find comfort in shared experiences. I think it's just critical, like you're not going through it alone. You shouldn't feel like you're going through it alone.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Absolutely. And the same goes for like all of women's health, basically. It's like even people that don't struggle with infertility who have endo, it can take up to seven and a half years to get diagnosed with endo and like, they're like my painful periods are totally normal because the doctor told me once that they're totally normal. And actually, if you don't, you don't know what you don't know basically, that's what I always say. Like, you don't know how to advocate for yourself unless you engage and educating yourself or, or learning more.

Sarah Herron:
Yes, exactly.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
So I always like to ask this towards the end of the podcast, but I would say our company's name is Rescripted. So what would you rescript about how people think about infertility or pregnancy loss.

Sarah Herron:
To continue what I was just saying is, I would rescript the stigma around it and I would just try to shine light on how many women are affected by infertility and normalize it, that it's more women than you think. There's support, there's friends to be had. What's the saying? Everyone says it's like the worst club with the best members.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah. Yeah. And we've been saying like it, it takes a village to, they say it takes a village to raise a child but sometimes it takes a village to create one.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Yeah. No need to suffer in silence. There's a whole community out there, even if you're not comfortable sharing, so. Well, thank you, Sarah. This was so awesome, getting to know you better and learning about your journey to baby. And I'm so happy for you and your pregnancy and the.

Sarah Herron:
Thank you.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
All the good things.

Sarah Herron:
Thank you. Yeah, it's a great stage of it to be in. And I think the number one thing, like I feel so connected to the IVF community and infertility community and sometimes I feel like there might be this like sense of like detachment or estrangement or even like abandonment when a transfer is successful for someone. And then it's like, oh, well, she's not really in the club anymore. And I just want people to know that I'm still in it with women and I'll be in it on this side for everyone, because once you've experienced it like that doesn't go away. You're like in the club forever.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Oh, 100%. And I think people don't even realize, like, if you want like two or three kids, like it's always sort of in the back of your mind. And so it's just not, it's not like this like carefree thing where it's like, oh, I want, like, I was like, I want.

Sarah Herron:
I'm done, yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
I want three kids, you know, like, but now I'm like, can I even have three kids? So it's like, kind of affects your whole family building journey, not just, not to scare you. You're on your first pregnancy, but like, it's like you're always part of that club because you have embryos and they're frozen and like, they're there and it's like the door is not closed. Does that make sense?

Sarah Herron:
Right, exactly. So it'll be yeah, I don't know. We'll see where the road goes and how many we'll have. But yeah, I don't know.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Living in the present and.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
You are still part of the club, I assure you. I feel like it never really leaves you. And that, for better or worse, and I think as a parent, it is for the better because you really, like, are grateful for getting to that other side and all that it took to get there, you know?

Sarah Herron:
Exactly. Well, you put it in better words than I did, but thank you.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
No, not at all. No, it's all complicated, but all for a good reason. And I'm super excited for you. When are you due?

Sarah Herron:
May 17th.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Awesome.

Sarah Herron:
So, well, spring baby.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
That'll be a great time of year for getting outside.

Sarah Herron:
That's what I keep saying. I'm like, that's like the best time for birthdays because it's like not summer break yet. So everyone's still, you know, like I used to think about those things when I was a kid because my birthday was usually like around right before winter break. And so people would like, go away for winter break and can never have birthday parties.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
It's nice too, because like when you go through infertility, you like, take it where you can get it.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
You could never plan. So it's like, oh, this is cool. Like it just worked out that way.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, yeah, totally.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
In the beginning you're like, I'm going to be due. And then in the end you're like, I just want a baby.

Sarah Herron:
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Well, thank you for sharing your story and so great meeting you and.

Sarah Herron:
Thank you.

Kristyn Hodgdon :
Keep in touch and we'll chat soon.

Sarah Herron:
Yes, thank you. Kristyn.
