Infertility is never just a medical diagnosis, it’s a journey of grief, trauma, resilience, and hope. In this episode of Cry It Out Loud! by Chasing the Rainbows, we sit down with Dr. Mark Trolice, reproductive endocrinologist, owner of The IVF Center in Florida, and most importantly, a father who knows firsthand the heartbreak and healing of infertility.
From IVF and IUI treatments to the emotional toll of repeated setbacks, Dr. Trolice opens up about his own path to parenthood. The struggles, the breakthroughs, and how his story as a patient transformed the way he cares for others as a physician.
Together, we explore:
The emotional and financial realities of IVF and infertility treatments
How trauma and grief shape the infertility journey
The importance of compassion in medicine
Options for building a family, including adoption
Why breaking the silence around infertility and loss matters for every family
This intimate conversation is a reminder that behind every statistic is a family fighting for hope.
