Podcasts about infertility clinic

In today's episode of the Cautious Optimism Podcast Chelsey & Karly interview the amazing Lisa Henderson, a nurse who provides us with so much knowledge, experience, and perspective from working in an infertility clinic. Lisa has been an incredible resource and friend to us through our experiences of infertility and we are so grateful to her for being here with us today.  We learn how Lisa's career lead her to an infertility clinic and why a piece of her heart will always remain there.  Being an IVF nurse comes with many responsibilities and challenges as you try to care for and support your patients through their entire  process through the Infertility Clinic.   Lisa opens up about the low's, high's, and complexities of her career as one minute she would make a call to a patient to deliver the worst news of their life to 5 minutes later calling a patient to deliver the best news of their life.  Lisa sometimes wishes she was also equipped with a degree in counseling to provide further support for her patients through the roller coaster of infertility .  Ultimately Lisa believes that living a life of Cautious Optimism means having the courage to continue towards your goals with a head held high doing the best that you can with what you have been given.  

We tell people that they should use the CDC or SART Infertility Clinic Success Statistics when choosing a fertility clinic, but we often fail to tell people how to interpret these statistics. Which ones are important and which ones can we ignore?  Host Dawn Davenport, Executive Director of Creating a Family, the national infertility & adoption education and support organization, interviews Dr. David Ball, Embryology Lab Director at Seattle Reproductive Medicine and Past President of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology.

In India, producing surrogate babies is a booming business. Reproductive technology allows childless, wealthy couples to hire impoverished Indian women as surrogate mothers - pregnancy and childbirth have become commercial transactions. Hardtalk speaks to Dr Nayna Patel, a pioneer in the field. Her clinic has been recruiting surrogates and delivering babies to order for a decade. Is this 21st Century way of making babies irresponsible and exploitative, or a positive public service?

We tell people to check out the Center for Disease Control statistics before selecting an infertility clinic, but how in the world do you make sense of these numbers. Which ones are truly important? Can they be manipulated?
