This week on the Building Your Family Podcast, we’re talking about genetic screening, including the newer test PGT-P.

Dr. Anomoly helps break it down in a way that actually makes sense — what this test is, what it isn’t, and how to think through whether it may be right for you.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the testing options, this episode will help you slow down, get clarity, and make a more informed decision.

When family building is difficult, it is often difficult for the couple. It can put a huge strain on individuals and on relationships.

Many people forget to nurture the relationship and make efforts to acknowledge what the process is doing to your lives. Yet, it is essential to not let too many negative experiences accumulate.

Your relationship needs to remain a priority for the short term -to get through treatment, and the long-term-to have a happy family.

💬 It can be painful to hold on to the hope that people who judge your choices will someday change. But waiting for their acceptance often leads to more disappointment—for you and for the family you’re building.

Instead, give your energy to those who show up with kindness and respect. 🌱 Protecting your peace and honoring your boundaries isn’t selfish—it’s an act of love for yourself and your future child. 💕

If you’re feeling upset about using a donor, your mind may jump to scary conclusions.
Thoughts like:
What if I won’t love my child?
What if my child won’t love me?

These thoughts can feel overwhelming, but they are not facts.

Give yourself two things:
✨ Grace
✨ The understanding that you can dislike the idea of using a donor and still move forward

You can grieve the path you imagined
and still create a loving, connected family.

We would love to see you there 🤍

Sometimes when couples go through treatment, they grow further apart. As their differences appear more stark, each person feels less understood and more lonely and the couple can’t seem to find their way back to each other. In this weeks episode of Building Your Family, I talk about this issue and how couples can understand why this often happens to people who, before treatment, felt very close and united in their family building goals.

Are You Choosing a Donor or a Parent? 🧬
I’m honored to share my latest article on Psychology Today, where I explore a question that touches the heart of donor conception:

What does it mean to choose a donor versus a parent? The language we use shapes our expectations, our relationships, and ultimately, our children’s sense of self.

This piece is for anyone navigating the complex terrain of family building—intended parents, clinicians, and community members alike.

Let’s keep the conversation going. 💬

In the news. And something to think about. Most people tell me they don’t even think about this subject until years later. The flurry of activities and upset around the fertility process can be so overwhelming that it makes sense that contemplating the disposition of embryos can feel like the last thought on your list. However, it is something that needs to be dealt with eventually. So let’s all try to think about it as soon as we are able and support our friends and family members through this difficult decision. The personal, familial and national implications are many and it looks like this problem is only getting worse.
What do you think ?
