In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, you'll explore the emotional and psychological realities behind why so many women with PCOS choose to step away from fertility treatments. Drawing from a research article titled “Dropout of Infertility Treatments and Related Factors Among Infertile Couples”, this conversation dives into the personal reasons behind treatment discontinuation and what that means for women who are still hoping to grow their families. If you've ever felt the heavy emotional toll of month-to-month hoping, anxiety and disappointment, this episode offers a compassionate insight into a part of the fertility journey that's rarely discussed openly.Needing a Break Fertility Tracking and TreatmentsWhether you're undergoing IVF or tracking cycles naturally at home, the journey is often marked by uncertainty, exhaustion, and emotional pain. You'll learn how psychological stress, not just finances or physical challenges, is the number one reason many women choose to take a break or stop trying altogether.This episode explores a mixed-method study conducted in Iran that analyzed over 400 infertile couples, combining global research, patient data, and in-depth interviews. What makes this study unique is how it blends hard data with emotional insight. While financial and physical stress were certainly contributing factors, the most significant reason women stepped away from treatment was emotional burnout. You'll discover how a lack of communication, misunderstood diagnoses, and feeling dismissed by medical teams created a deep sense of powerlessness that pushed many women to their emotional limits.The Emotional Toll of Fertility Treatments for Women with PCOSWomen with PCOS often face more intense and prolonged fertility journeys. Between irregular ovulation, hormone imbalances, and metabolic challenges, treatment cycles can be longer, less predictable, and more emotionally taxing. In this episode, you'll hear how the emotional burden builds and why some women feel like their care becomes a runaway train, something happening to them, rather than a process they are in control of. You'll also hear encouragement that it's okay to take a break and that doing so can actually be a powerful step toward reclaiming emotional and physical wellbeing.Reclaiming Agency in Your Fertility JourneyOne of the key takeaways from this research is the concept of agency. In this episode, you'll learn why making informed, empowered decisions about your fertility care, even when that means pausing or walking away, is essential. Ashlene discusses how women can ask the right questions, advocate for themselves with their care team, and get the emotional support they need outside of medical appointments. Whether that support comes from a therapist, coach, or trusted community, it's a vital part of the process that often goes ignored in standard fertility treatment plans.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereDropout of infertility treatments and related factors among infertile couplesLet's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at: https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-168

"You have to get sick of your own shit before you can make radical change. No shortcuts, no excuses." Topics Discussed: Fertility burnout & emotional loops Radical self-awareness and inner frequency Energy and mindset shifts for conception Unlearning societal and personal expectations Practical joy-based strategies for fertility Your nervous system is listening to every thought, every feeling—get out of the loop or it keeps running your life. Hello, beautiful souls. Monica here... If you've ever felt like your fertility journey is a relentless hamster wheel, you're not alone. In this episode, I continue part two of my conversation with Diane Flores as we dive deep into how emotional looping, control freak spirals, and toxic productivity can hijack your body's ability to conceive. We're talking about the cellular level, the stuff nobody else wants to tell you, where your joy, boundaries, and radical honesty are actually medicine. We break down the real work: not just yoga, meditation, or the “full moon ritual” hype, but how to show up in your mundane life with presence, awareness, and self-love. Diane shares her own journey of letting go of the story that her value depended on perfection and performance, and how tiny shifts in mindset, movement, and energy recalibration can literally change your fertility. This episode is for the women ready to stop white-knuckling, to stop comparing, and to start leaning into the magic of their own body's wisdom. Expect laughter, tears, and some straight-up, unapologetic truth. Press play and let's do this together—you're not broken, you're just human, and your next chapter is waiting. The more you shift your inner frequency, the more the world around you starts to shift too. Timestamps: 02:58 How to move past the negative loop and find joy in the mundaneness of life.  06:26 The importance of unlearning old stories and creating a life that serves you.  10:28 Diane on how she shifted her mindset through meditation, self-awareness, and radical honesty.  13:27 Daily energy practices and check-ins you can adopt as foundational fertility work.  18:17 The power of releasing control and how that impacts conception and relationships.  25:14 Diane shares the lonely and difficult journey of motherhood and how it taught her the importance of investing in herself.  Your reality is made up, but you are the creator—stop controlling, start leaning in, and watch everything respond.  Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-real-block-to-fertility-success-breaking-free-from-control-stress-infertility-struggles-with-diane-flores-part-two  Connect with Diane Flores: Health and Hot 7 Day Challenge- https://www.bossbitchradio.com/healthy-hot-challenge Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/dianeflores_ifbb_pro/ Podcast: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/podcast Let's Do This Together

IVF Failed: A Fertility Doctor's Thoughts About What Comes Next When IVF fails, both patients and doctors are left asking, “What now?” In this conversation, infertility and life coach Lana Manikowski and fertility doctor Erica Bove, MD, explore what patients wish doctors understood after failed IVF, what doctors feel but rarely say, and how to create support and meaning after infertility. When IVF failed, you were not just handed a result. You were handed decisions with very little support. If you have ever left a fertility clinic wondering whether your fertility doctor truly saw your pain or what to do next, this episode will help you feel seen while considering the language to ask for the support you need. In this conversation, I am joined by Erica Bove, MD, a double board certified OB GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist at the University of Vermont. She is also the CEO and founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. Dr. Bove has experienced both sides of treatment as a fertility doctor and as a fertility patient. Together, we explore what women wish their doctors understood after a failed IVF cycle, what doctors wish their patients knew, and how to create continuity of care when treatment ends without a baby. In this episode, you will learn: How both patients and doctors grieve when IVF does not work and why compassion on both sides matters. The post fertility treatment support you told me you needed most such as exit appointments, follow-up calls, therapy or coaching referrals, peer connection, and resources for life without children. Why many fertility doctors are not trained to deliver difficult news and how clinics can improve communication. How Dr. Bove coaches physicians through their own fertility journeys to help them practice with more empathy and confidence. Ways to redefine meaning and success after infertility so you can create a fulfilling life even if you are childless after infertility. This episode is for you if: You have finished fertility treatment without a baby and are unsure what comes next. You want to feel acknowledged and supported by your fertility doctor and your clinic. You are ready for community and guidance for life after infertility. You are a fertility professional who wants to better understand the patient experience after failed IVF. About Dr. Erica Bove Erica Bove, MD, is a double board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist (REI) at the University of Vermont. She is also the CEO and founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. Dr. Bove combines an evidence-based approach with intuitive knowing in the context of a trusting relationship.

Fertility specialist and Harvard Award scholar Gabriela Rosa joins Amy Stuttle to cut through confusion about infertility—what it is, when to seek help, and why “optimize first” beats “wait and see.” Gabriela explains how the healthcare system's 12-month definition can delay care, why fertility is a team sport (male and female factors contribute about 50/50), and how sperm quality changes every 3–4 months. She outlines her diagnostics-first method, shares program results (78.8% live birth rate in a cohort with an average of four years of infertility), and breaks down common pitfalls—from incomplete semen testing to overlooked infections and lifestyle drivers. You'll hear practical guidance on timelines, AMH and egg reserve, miscarriage workups, what to do before IVF, and how to fast-track next steps if you're starting later in life. Gabriela also addresses hot-button topics like long-term birth control and Tylenol use in pregnancy with an evidence-level lens.

Infertility can feel like the deepest kind of weakness — like your body has failed you, your prayers are unheard, and you're left behind. But Scripture tells us something radically different. In this Fruitful Fertility episode, we dive into 2 Corinthians 12:9 and explore how infertility is not a sign of neglect from Christ, but an opportunity to experience His strength in your weakness. You'll hear: ✨ Why Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 12:9 are so powerful for women walking through infertility. ✨ How weakness is not failure, but the exact place where God shows up most. ✨ Why your infertility is not proof of God's absence, but a sacred space for deeper connection with Him. ✨ Gentle encouragement for the days you feel unseen, unheard, or “too weak” to keep going. If you've ever asked, “Where is God in my infertility?” — this episode will remind you that you are not forgotten, and His power is made perfect in your weakness.   Join The Conception Connection  The Conception Connection    Shop my favortie fertility boosting supplements Rise + Source   Let's do HTMA together!

What happens when a decade of birth control meets a fierce determination to rewrite a fertility story? In today's episode, I interview my client Lindsey who cracks open the real challenges behind her quest for pregnancy including unexpected gut troubles, hormonal confusion, and the frustration of a short luteal phase. After trying without success on her own, she signs up for 1:1 private coaching and begins a transformation that reshapes not just her health, but her future. What Lindsey discovered deep inside her healing journey changed everything before she saw those two pink lines. If you've ever wondered what's truly possible beyond the usual advice, don't miss this intimate look at what it actually takes to shift the path to conception and why getting pregnant is only the beginning. Episode Highlights: For years, Lindsey followed the rules for birth control until a pivotal moment changed everything and set her on an unexpected course. Mysterious symptoms left her searching for answers. What she uncovered about her hormones and skin will surprise you. The battle for better gut health wasn't easy and came with frustration, setbacks, and then the breakthroughs she never saw coming. Each cycle brought new questions, and as Lindsey dove deeper, she uncovered secrets about her body she'd never known. Hope and heartbreak marked Lindsey's quest for pregnancy until, finally, a breakthrough arrived in the most unexpected way. The first trimester brought challenges that tested her resolve and revealed why her healing journey mattered more than ever.

“If you can dance on a stripper pole, you can do anything.” Topics Discussed: Why control and masculine energy block fertility Movement, strength training, and feminine power Nervous system healing for conception Reclaiming joy and cellular health in fertility “You can't heal your fertility while living like a robot.” Hello Beautiful, Monica here… Let's get real. If you're stuck in the infertility loop, white-knuckling every supplement, every meal plan, every fertility protocol—chances are you're living in overdrive. You've been taught control equals safety. But in reality? That hyper-masculine energy is hijacking your nervous system and shutting down your flow. This week, I sit down with Diane, who went from teen mom to pole dance studio owner to strength coach—and her story is pure proof that women can alchemize struggle into power. We talk about pole dancing as medicine (yes, seriously), how movement cracks open confidence, and why so many women trade joy for control without even realizing it. Spoiler: control is just an illusion, and your womb knows it. If you've been carrying resentment toward your body, obsessing over timelines, or looping in that same “why not me” story—this episode is your mirror. It's raw, it's cheeky, and it's a loving call to unclench, release, and remember: your fertility thrives on joy, not burnout. Press play. Your nervous system (and your future baby) will thank you. “Joy isn't a luxury. It's a fertility strategy.” Timestamps:  02:10 Diane shares her background story and life experiences, and how they have shaped her passion for empowering women. 12:00 The invisible mental load women carry and the importance of taking radical responsibility to change your life.  14:40 Understanding the hidden cost of operating from a place of masculine energy and how to stop.  18:00 She explains how she learned to show up for herself and stopped operating with masculine energy.  22:41 The importance of learning that the magic is in the journey, doing what you're supposed to without forcing things.  26:32 The power of choosing joy and flow as medicine for your fertility journey.  “Your cells are listening to every emotion you feed them.” Full Transcript Over on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-surprising-fertility-strategy-you-haven-t-tried-joy-strength-emotional-healing-during-infertility-with-diane-flores-part-one  Connect with Diane Flores: Health and Hot 7 Day Challenge-https://www.bossbitchradio.com/healthy-hot-challenge Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/dianeflores_ifbb_pro/ Podcast: https://www.bossbitchradio.com/podcast Let's Do This Together

When you're going through fertility treatments, you never imagine they will end without a baby. I didn't. I believed that if I tried hard enough, followed every step, and stayed committed, eventually I would have the child I dreamed of. But when IVF failed and motherhood didn't happen, I was completely unprepared and unsupported. That gap, the silence that follows when treatments end without children, is why I became a member of ASRM, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, and serve in their Mental Health Providers group.  In October I am attending the ASRM annual congress with thousands of reproductive Endocrinologists, fertility doctors, IVF nurses, and fertility specialists from around the world. My mission is to make sure the voices of women who are childless after infertility are part of the conversation. For an upcoming podcast episode I will be interviewing a fertility doctor who not only treats patients but has gone through IVF herself. This is your opportunity to shape that conversation. ✨ What do you wish you had received when you left treatments without a baby? ✨ Were you offered support, and if yes what was most helpful? ✨ If you weren't, what do you think would have made the biggest difference? ✨ And what is one question you would love me to ask a fertility doctor about life after treatment?
