Infertile Af

It's our Fifth Anniversary Episode! Ali's very special guest today is Elizabeth Carr, the first person born in the U.S. — in 1981 — via in vitro fertilization. "My birth was so widely publicized that my first press conference was at three days old," Elizabeth says. "I didn't get here like everybody else." Elizabeth shares what it's been like to live under media scrutiny since the moment she was born (check out the NOVA documentary about her life). She also explains why her parents did IVF in the first place, what the IVF landscape was like back then, how the actual procedure worked (so much has changed!) and the incredible work she's doing today to advocate for IVF and reproductive rights. She also shares how the pope, when she was born, called her "a child of the devil."  For more, check out https://ejordancarr.com/ and her IG: @ejordan12 TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: IVF; first baby born via IVF; egg retrieval; IVF in the 80s; ART; advocacy EPISODE SPONSORS:
