#112 Redefining DNA and Destiny with Jared and Shannon
Shannon and Jared Baker's four-year fertility journey is a testament to resilience, love, and never giving up on their dream of parenthood. Facing the dual challenge of azoospermia and endometriosis, this determined couple navigated two micro TESA surgeries, seven egg collections, and nine embryo transfers across three different clinics before welcoming their beautiful baby boy through donor conception. As OG listeners of the podcast from the very beginning of their journey, Shannon and Jared's conversation offers honest insights into the practical and emotional aspects of a long fertility journey. With Jared joining the conversation to offer a male perspective on the challenges men face during fertility treatment, their story explores the emotional complexity of moving from own gametes to donor conception, the physical and mental toll of multiple procedures, and how they maintained hope and their relationship through years of setbacks. From clinic changes to travel adventures that kept their spirits alive, their story reminds us that sometimes the path to parenthood looks different than we imagined, but the destination - holding your longed-for baby - makes every step worthwhile.
