Laughing Through Infertility with Karen Jeffries from Hilariously Infertile

Written By Lora Shahine, MD

It's said that laughter is the best medicine, but does that apply to a fertility journey? This episode's Baby or Bust guest Karen Jeffries certainly thinks so. With an avid social media following and successful book, Karen joins host and reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Lora Shahine to discuss humor's crucial role in her IVF experience, online community, and book Hilariously Infertile.

From PCOS diagnosis to IUI to IVF, Karen's fertility journey was full of ups, downs, tears, and—intentionally—laughter. Together with host Dr. Shahine, Karen reflects on moments from her family-building experience with unapologetic honesty. With laugh-out-loud stories, this episode will inspire you to choose comedy as a tool for self-care and empowerment.
