Pregnantish is a patient-advocacy and media platform. Launched in early 2017, pregnantish was the fi We're so glad you're here.

Founded by Andrea Syrtash, pregnantish is the first online magazine that helps people navigate the personal and practical realities of infertility and fertility treatments. Every week we'll share popular essays and articles from www.pregnantish.com, motivational content to help you on your fertility journey (or really, any challenge!) and expert advice.

Thanks to all engaging with our stories from the amazing community. We are continuing to share in our stories 🧡

Throwback to our CA “Reality of Infertility” advocacy event at SUR with some incredible advocates tagged here. (Thanks for mixing this beautiful real talk reel!)

We all get the craziest advice…but at least we understand each other here!

First Response has been reaching out via DM. While nothing has been shared publicly yet, we do appreciate that they’re listening and taking steps to learn.

At the same time, this isn’t a “nice to have” level of awareness—it’s foundational. Any brand operating in the fertility space should understand that infertility is not niche. Pregnancy loss is not niche. A significant portion of people buying pregnancy tests are hoping, dreaming, and grieving…not just dreading 2 lines.

For context, we worked with this brand in the past for years, and in many ways they showed up for this community more than some other pregnancy tests the category. That history matters.

So the question becomes: can they win back trust?

For us, it’s possible, but it depends on what comes next. Listening is a start; but real accountability and public acknowledgment are what rebuild trust—not just for us, but for the entire community.

Every year here we share
THE REALITY OF INFERTILITY. It’s so much more than shots. So. Much. More. This experience hits us on every level - financial, physical, emotional, relational and our relationships to our selves & our bodies.

And, this is why we are excited about our annual thought leader summit today in LA at in which you’ll see some of your favorite advocates, reality stars + public personalities using their platforms to shatter the taboo of infertility & elevate the conversation about modern family building. (A key mission for us at pregnantish!) Advocates joining us are currently IN it and reflect this reality so well 🧡

This full day event is happening thanks to the support from industry partners .fi - thank you for helping us make this happen!

You can tune in to see the activity at SUR (our reality venue!) starting around 10 am PT in our stories and no doubt you’ll recognize some faces.

If you have qs for our panelists (which include great drs, too) or comments, DM us & see y’all (online!) 🧡

After years of treatment, it can feel hard to keep moving forward without changing anything, especially when the path ahead looks like more of the same.

Ideally we feel confident with the fertility specialist and clinic we work with (that’s key!) - but we also know that some here have tried approaches they feel have worked, and we want to give space for crowdsourcing this with the caveat that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to getting or staying pregnant!

What have you tried that’s “out of the box” that you feel helped or that you wish you knew about sooner?

This isn’t a substitute for medical advice, of course; but we know crowdsourcing from our community oftentimes helps.

Thank you, as always, for sharing your advice, stories and support!

IVF is back in the news and politicians, not reproductive drs or specialists, are “educating” us about it. (ICMYI: IVF coverage for military families was recently stripped from the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act with some citing concerns over “ethical handling” of embryos.)

PSA for those who don’t know:

NOBODY wants our embryos to be children more than this community! If only every embryo became a baby after IVF …

We will keep sharing our voices, spreading awareness and fighting for families. 🧡

On Dec 1 at The Times we debuted the World Fertility Awards Anthem — and what a moment it was.

Here’s a special clip from our live show, featuring extraordinary dancers from The Juilliard School, who brought the heart of this piece to life.

This was the first global event of its kind, created to honor changemakers and to show the world just how powerful, connected, and resilient our community truly is. This is also what our theme song is about….

The anthem carries the message we’ve shared for years: When science meets family, the possibilities are endless.

We can’t wait to share the full piece with you in the new year. Have a great weekend!

Tonight we are making history.
For the first time ever, advocates, innovators, changemakers, specialists, and voices from seven regions of the world are coming together to honor a field that has long been misunderstood and too often overlooked.

Anyone fighting to build a family deserves access, dignity, and respect.

Tonight we change the narrative.
We break the remaining taboos.
And we elevate the people reshaping the future of fertility care around the globe.

A powerful movement begins now! Follow along , in our stories or
