Ali Prato is an award-winning journalist and mama-of-two who went through secondary infertility, IUIs, IVF, depression, grief and relationship issues. She is here to let you know: You are not alone.

When a girlfriend who had a similar experience asked Ali to share her story to help others, she wrote an article for Health magazine and started getting feedback from women, and some men, who were like, “Wow, nobody talks about infertility, IVF, or any of this!”

Ali realized quickly that there was a dearth of candid information about infertility and that there was still a stigma attached to it.

Always a storyteller at heart, Ali launched her podcast, Infertile AF, in 2019 — and today, she has published more than 275 episodes and garnered more than 1.3 million global downloads. In 2020, Ali and fellow infertility warrior Blair Nelson co-founded Fertility Rally, a safe, all-inclusive 24/7 community for anyone and everyone navigating infertility or building their modern families through ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology). In 2023, she brought all of her ideas together under the Infertile AF Group, which just published “Work of ART,” Ali’s children’s book about IVF — available now!

Before beginning this journey, Ali spent 20+ years as a writer and editor specializing in entertainment and celebrity journalism for such publications as Playboy, Health, Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Page Six Magazine and Teen Vogue.
