#99 Two Hearts Meant for Parenthood with Janay & Mark

April 30, 2025 • Cassie Silver • Season 4 • Episode 99

This week, Mark and Janay share their four-year fertility journey through PCOS, azoospermia, and multiple treatment pivots. Their story is one of breathtaking resilience—holding each other through crushing disappointments only to rise again with undiminished love. Each failed procedure has tested their spirits but strengthened their bond. After watching their hopes rise and fall through a failed TESA, a briefly victorious micro-TESE, countless injections, gruelling egg retrievals, and the heartbreak of unsuccessful transfers, they've never lost hope. Their love story continues as they've completed the donor process and face 2025 with renewed courage. Their conviction remains unshaken: Mark will be an incredible father, Janay is meant to be a mother, and they're not done fighting for their family. Join us for an honest conversation about resilience, redefining family creation, and keeping hope alive when the path to parenthood takes unexpected turns.
