Mark P. Trolice, M.D., was interviewed on the Infertile AF Podcast where he gets real about the 10 years of infertility he and his wife experienced before adopting their five children.

Dr. Trolice calls infertility “a life crisis” and how not being able to help his wife caused him to “spiral down into an abyss of despair.”

About Infertile AF

In this unfiltered podcast about infertility, Brooklyn-based journalist and mom-of-two Ali Prato, who went through IVF herself, talks to women—and some men—about the messy, frustrating, painful, heartbreaking, absurd and sometimes hilarious journey to have a baby. Or in some cases, to not have a baby. Each episode tells a different story, getting real about miscarriages, egg freezing, sperm donors, adoption, infertility depression, secondary infertility, surrogacy, endometriosis, IUIs, acupuncture, nutrition, relationship drama, embryonic genetic testing, money issues, that crazy jealousy you feel when you see someone else with a baby bump, and so much more. We’ll cover the happy endings, the soul-crushingly sad ones, and the ones still in limbo.
