Bitches on IVF: Building Confidence to Beat the Odds

The Aumiller Sisters had it all. Or so they thought. Star collegiate lacrosse players, who graduated and landed jobs on Wall Street, married amazing men, and then moved back to their hometown of Baltimore to start their families. But their lives soon unraveled as they were confronted with the challenge of their lifetimes -- infertility.

In heartbreaking meetings with doctors, they were each told they would never have children. What followed was a decade long quest to prove the doctors wrong. Through grit and determination, digging into the mindset learned through athletics, they endured years of miscarriages, failed IVFs, painful D&C’s, the shattering loss of a newborn, and the birth of an “extreme preemie” with special needs. 

Their memoir, Bitches on IVF, tells the story of their struggles and successes in the world of infertility. How, against all odds, they now have eight children between them including two cousins born by the same surrogate. This conversation highlights the challenges they faced, how they overcame them and how it has shaped their parental experiences.
