Summary

On this episode of Baby Steps, hosts Jordana Abraham and Dr. Naomi Bernstein sit down with Love Is Blind participant, Lauren Speed-Hamilton to share the raw, unfiltered truth about her multi-year fertility journey. Lauren opens up about trying to conceive, facing unexplained infertility, going through multiple failed IUIs and IVF transfers, enduring a heartbreaking miscarriage, and discovering fibroids that required major surgery. She reveals how grief over the sudden loss of her father intertwined with the hope of creating new life, therapy, faith, and support from her husband and Love is Blind co-star Cameron Hamilton helped her keep going. Lauren also discusses the mental toll of IVF, the pressure of being in the public eye while struggling with infertility, and the importance of finding the right doctor and advocating for your own care. Now six months pregnant, she reflects on resilience, hope, and what she wants others facing fertility challenges to know: you are not alone. Learn more about your ad choices.
