Hi! We’re Amy and Kayti. We first met on a backpacking trip in Patagonia over a decade ago. Our husbands became friends, our dogs became pals, and after bouncing around different states, we both ended up in sunny Los Angeles. Then, plot twist: we tried to get pregnant in the same year and couldn’t. Well, we did, but they ended in miscarriages. Then came the confusing diagnoses, frustrating doctor appointments, and way too many late nights on Reddit.

So we started a podcast. Because why not us? We wanted a place to talk about the messy middle. Not the polished stories people tell years later, but the raw, just-left-the-doctor ’s-office WTF moments we were living through in real time. That’s how FriedEggs was born.

Three seasons, 50 episodes and counting, thousands of listeners, eight collective rounds of IVF, and many (many) tears later, here we are. Welcome to this corner of the internet: a community for anyone navigating the shitshow that is infertility and IVF. Whether you’re public about your journey or don’t have a single person to talk to, this is the place for you.

The logistics: we publish new episodes every Tuesday here on Substack, as well as on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube. We also send a weekly newsletter with everything from “small j joys” that get us through IVF, to listener stories (Everyone’s Getting Pregnant Without Me^TM), memes, book recs, and vacation photos—because yes, we still love a vacay, just not one “to relax and get pregnant.”

Say hi! in the comments or join us on social. We hate that you’re here, but can’t wait to meet you. x

To get a feel for the pod, here are our top episodes:

• Learning to love our bodies during IVF

• Why we can’t get pregnant

• Knocked up by science (Kayti’s embryo transfer results)

• Listener voice notes on IVF, infertility, miscarriages, and more

• How to balance work and IVF
