Fertility Nurse and Dandi co-founder Leyla Bilali’s Infertility Story

Infertile AF: Infertility and Modern Family Building

Leyla Bilali is a veteran fertility nurse with over a decade of clinical experience at a top NYC clinic. She considers herself to be a "Fertility Godmother," with big ideas for fertility care. Today, she tells Ali about her family building journey, including the road to having her two girls, and the devastating losses she has experienced while trying for a third child. Leyla talks about working in the fertility industry, freezing embryos, her husband's vasectomy, co-founding Dandi based off of her clinical experiences and fertility concierge business, and how as a fertility patient herself, she has more empathy and compassion than ever.
