Alex's story is one of the wildest we've shared so far, with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss, a journey through 4 different fertility clinics and multiple rounds of IVF which ultimately led to her 'twibling' boys, born only weeks apart - one born by her surrogate and one born by herself. It's an incredible heartfelt story with many twists and turns and really great advice along the way.

Noelle is an Oasis volunteer as our Conversation Starter for our Sudbury, ON Infertility Support group. Her story is one of determination to prove that her BMI isn't the reason she can't get pregnant and she shares her journey to find a doctor who will listen. We learned about what it's like living 4 hours away from her clinic and the strength it took to persevere through the struggles by holding onto hope through connecting with others online that ultimately helped her through it!

On our 10th episode of the Oasis Fertility podcast, we had the pleasure of talking to Baden and Zane. Between Baden's Blog and Social Media presence with @notmytummy, Zane's volunteer work with Conceivable Dreams and their work for equal parental leave for intended parents, this power couple brings an incredible amount of information and support around advocacy, surrogacy and general fertility treatment to this episode. Their journey through fertility treatment and surrogacy is one that holds incredible power for anyone who has been told it will be impossible to become a parent. Not only did they do the impossible, they inspired and encouraged so many others along the way.
