Over the past two posts, we’ve talked about why IVF Together chose to collaborate with CryoLogistics and what makes their approach to reproductive cell transport so unique. But behind every thoughtful company are the people who built it.

In this final post, I sit down with CryoLogistics CEOs Charlie and JiJi to talk about their vision, the values that shape their work, and how they support intended parents during one of the most delicate stages of fertility treatment.

When you understand the heart behind a company, it makes placing your trust that much easier.

At IVF Together, I’m always looking for ways to make your fertility journey more supported, informed, and less overwhelming. That’s why I’m so pleased about our new collaboration with CryoLogistics — a company that’s redefining what safe, personalized reproductive cell transport can look like.

I’m excited to share that IVF Together is now collaborating with CryoLogistics. 

This is the first in a three-part blog series where I’ll be sharing more about this partnership, who CryoLogistics are, and what patients can expect when working with them — including a Q&A with their CEOs, Charlie and JiJi.

As the holidays creep in—or even on an ordinary Tuesday morning—gratitude can feel complicated. For many of us walking through infertility or IVF, “being thankful” isn’t always a natural or effortless state. It’s layered. It’s messy. It can even feel contradictory.

And yet, in the quiet corners of this journey, thankfulness still has a way of showing up.

Gratitude works the same way. It doesn’t erase the struggle, but it can soften its edges. It makes room for hope.

Here are a few places where thankfulness can take root—even when life feels uncertain.

Is Social Media something you have engaged in during your fertility process?

For many individuals and couples struggling with infertility, IVF represents a beacon of hope. However, the emotional, physical, and financial demands of the process can be overwhelming. In today’s digital age, social media offers a space where people can connect, share, and learn from others’ experiences. But does it provide more support than harm, or does it amplify the emotional rollercoaster of IVF?

Embarking on the journey of IVF can be a roller coaster of emotions, filled with highs, lows, and everything in between. Amidst the medical jargon, injections, and waiting periods, it's important to find moments of joy and humor. Here, we celebrate the lighter side of IVF with some funny and positive sayings that can bring a smile to your face.

There may come a time when transferring embryos between fertility centers becomes necessary. Whether it's due to seeking a second opinion, relocating to a different city or country, or accessing specialized expertise, the safe and efficient transportation of embryos is paramount. In such instances, utilizing a courier service tailored to the delicate nature of reproductive materials can offer peace of mind and streamline the process.

Going through IVF can be an emotionally and physically taxing journey for many. Among the various injections involved, one that often causes worry is the intramuscular (IM) progesterone injection. It is crucial for preparing the body for frozen embryo transfer but is can be an anxiety provoking part of the process. After doing research, I discovered many women use a vibrating device such as the Buzzy Bee (link below). The design design incorporates cold and vibration to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with injections.
