Today’s guest, Lizzy Colas, went into her marriage knowing she would likely need IVF to have a baby since her partner was diagnosed with male factor infertility. What the couple didn’t know was how frustrating this process would be. Lizzy shares how they were able to navigate their journey, the support from their loved ones, and why they advocated for themselves throughout the entire process. Lizzy makes a few things clear – the impact of having access to a comprehensive family building benefit and how a doctor can make all the difference.  

Dr. Joseph Alukal, a reproductive urologist, joins to explain the complexities and realities of male factor infertility. 

Progyny also hosted a webinar dedicated to male fertility. To watch it on-demand, click here.v  

Guest: Lizzy Colas, Progyny Member, and Dr. Joseph Alukal, Columbia University Irving Medical Center 

Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny
