Infertile Af

On this episode, Ali talks to Sarah, a U.S. citizen who's been living --and going through secondary infertility -- in Shanghai, China. Sarah emailed Ali, "I have always had good access to mental health support and friends in the US, but the past two years I have been living in Shanghai, China. The border remains closed due to covid so we have not been able to travel out at all. I recently experienced a miscarriage here, between 8 and 9 weeks, had a D&C, and really struggled to find anyone to talk to about it. While Shanghai is a very very modern city, it really lacks the sort of mental health awareness and access we have in the US and it was a real struggle." Sarah shares what it's like going through secondary infertility in China, where for many years, there was a "one child" policy; the cultural differences she's faced; finding community (or the lack thereof); how some people have embryos in China but are not allowed in the country; and more. TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:In
