Andrea Syrtash is a Relationships and Sexual Health Author, Fertility Advocate and Founder of “pregnantish”, the first media platform exclusively dedicated to helping people navigate fertility treatments and infertility. She’s passionate about helping support the 1 in 6 diagnosed with infertility and the many more who may not access the help they need to build their families. 

Andrea is the author of books including, “He’s Just Not Your Type (And That’s a Good Thing)” and “Cheat On Your Husband (With Your Husband)” published by Penguin Random House. She’s hosted television shows for Oprah’s OWN (Canada), Discovery Network and Fox; and regularly appears as a guest expert in hundreds of media outlets internationally like Good Morning America, Women’s Health, The Times of India, Forbes Brazil, NHK Japan and The Telegraph UK, among others. 

She’s the host of the pregnantish podcast, which covers the incredible lengths people go to to create their families with science, and which was recently chosen by The New York Times as a recommended listen.  As the Editor-in-Chief of pregnantish, Andrea authored and through pregnantish helped source one of the largest studies on fertility treatment patient retention, “Why I Left My Fertility Clinic for another ART Provider”, the results of which were published in Human Reproduction (2022). 

Andrea grew up in Toronto, Canada and lives in Brooklyn, NY with her husband and daughter, who was born via gestational surrogacy after many years of fertility treatments.  She is committed to breaking the taboo of infertility, and elevating the conversation about what it takes to start a family for millions of people today.
