8 Embryo Transfers, 6 Years of Infertility, and the IVF Story That Finally Worked | ft. Abbe Feder

Can you really get pregnant after seven failed embryo transfers? What does it take to keep going when nothing seems to work? In this episode, I sit down with Abbe Feder to talk about one of the most intense fertility journeys I’ve ever heard. After 6 years of trying to conceive, 8 embryo transfers, a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, and multiple failed IVF cycles, Abby finally got her miracle… twins. But this conversation goes far beyond just the outcome. We break down what unexplained infertility actually means, why IVF doesn’t always work even when everything looks “perfect,” and the emotional toll that no one prepares you for. Abbe shares the mindset shifts that helped her keep going, the financial realities of fertility treatment, and the truth about resilience during infertility. We also talk about the hardest moments along the way, including pregnancy loss, the waiting, the uncertainty, and the constant cycle of hope and disappointment. Abbe now helps women navigate infertility through coaching, and her ability to put feelings into words will make you feel seen in a way that’s hard to explain. If you’re going through infertility, considering IVF, or supporting someone who is, this episode will change how you think about the journey. And if nothing else, I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone. Abbe Feder is a fertility coach and founder of Encircle Fertility. After experiencing 6 years of unexplained infertility, multiple IVF cycles, pregnancy loss, and ultimately having twins, Abbe now helps women navigate the emotional and mental challenges of infertility. Her work focuses on normalizing the experience and supporting women through one of the most difficult journeys of their lives.
