In this episode, hosts Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas speak with Richard Kellner, founder of the Polycystic Kidney Disease-Free Alliance, and Natasha Rogina, the organization's chief spokesperson. Together, they discuss polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and how pre-implantation genetic testing-monogenic (PGT-M) can help families prevent passing this genetic condition to their children. Natasha, who has PKD herself, shares her personal decision to pursue IVF with PGT-M to ensure her children would not inherit the disease. PKD is a progressive condition that typically leads to kidney failure by midlife, often requiring dialysis or a transplant. Because many insurers do not cover genetic testing, the PKD-Free Alliance offers grants to help families access PGT-M to prevent passing the trait to their children. The PKD-Free Alliance's goal is to raise awareness and let couples know this option exists. This insightful conversation explores genetic inheritance, reproductive choices, and the future of PKD prevention, offering hope to families facing this challenging condition.

This heated radio commentary criticizes prominent Democratic figures—including Rep. LaMonica McIver, Gov. Tim Walz, and former FBI Director James Comey—for allegedly justifying or normalizing violence in political discourse. The hosts argue that a dangerous double standard exists: violence from the political left is excused as protest, while similar actions from the right are harshly punished. The discussion spans topics from ICE agent confrontations and Tesla dealership attacks to an IVF clinic bombing and perceived media gaslighting, suggesting an alarming cultural shift toward legitimizing left-wing violence as acceptable political expression.

If you are childless after infertility and wondering how to move forward without the future you dreamed of, this powerful conversation with Jody Day will meet you right where you are. In this episode, we explore what it truly means to grieve childlessness and how embracing that grief can lead to deep healing, creativity, and purpose. Jody shares her personal story, her insights from years of working in the childless-not-by-choice space, and how grief can evolve from something you endure into something you grow through. Inside this episode: Why grief is not an event but a skill What it means to experience disenfranchised grief as a childless woman How to feel seen in a society that avoids your pain What it takes to build your own support network as you age Why asking for help is a form of strength and connection Unforgettable quotes from Jody Day: “Grief is not an event. It's a skill.” “You're not needy. You have needs. You're human.” “We grieve that which we have loved.” “Grief is the emotion that allows us to let go of what was in order to embrace what's next.” “I look back at the woman who tried so hard and say: You didn't know more was available to you.” Whether you are early in your grief or further down the path, this episode will remind you that you are not alone, and that you still have the power to build a life you love. You are not too late. You are not alone. You may be childless, but your story still matters. This episode will remind you that healing is possible, connection is available, and the life ahead of you still holds meaning. Helpful links and resources:

IVF clinic bombing should be a security wakeup call for fertility centers, experts say; Illinois is first state to restrict federal access to autism-related data; Virginia ranks in top 10 for lowest rates of deaths on the job; Food security researchers in 20 countries thought they had U.S. funding. Then Trump took office.

Many Catholics struggle with how to oppose IVF while still loving children conceived through it. We explain how the Church separates the dignity of the child from the morality of the method—and how to navigate this with clarity and compassion. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered:  15:33 – Why would God allow creatures to come into existence if they are not the right way? Why would God ensoul then? 20:59 – Could you explain philosophically, why is IVF dominating, not cooperating? 29:28 – Could you educate me more, at what stage is the human being frozen? 30:50 – I have 2 nieces who were IVF children. Where do I fit in as a Catholic who loves them but disagrees with IVF? 42:54 – How do people get a baby naturally if they have been told that they have bad egg quality and they feel that IVF is the only hope? 48:28 – How do you approach when someone you know tells you they are going to use IVF and have family who have been successful in using it? 52:23 – Do a lot of people have a hard time bringing the children to term through IVF?

IVF Clinic Bombing and Pro-Mortalism Ideology (00:02:09 - 00:09:27)Guy Edward Bartkus bombed a Palm Springs IVF clinic, killing himself and injuring five, motivated by pro-mortalism (life causes suffering, death is liberation). His manifesto, hosted on promortalism.com, rails against pro-lifers and life itself, reflecting a nihilistic, anti-human philosophy rooted in online subcultures.Cultural Nihilism and Social Media's Role (00:13:03 - 00:24:28)The bomber's pro-mortalism reflects a broader cultural nihilism, influenced by ideas like Gaia theory (humans as a virus) and amplified by social media platforms. Reddit, TikTok, and Tumblr are criticized as hubs for pseudo-intellectualism, fostering anti-life ideologies among isolated individuals.Bible Engagement as a Positive Trend (00:24:28 - 00:31:02)A LifeWay survey shows 48% of Americans view the Bible as true (up from 36% in 2016), with rising Bible sales and reading. This suggests a growing rejection of secular humanism and a return to spiritual values amid cultural nihilism.Covid as a Scam (Music Man Analogy) (00:41:36 - 00:50:18)A Brownstone Institute article compares the Covid response to The Music Man, where fear (inflated death counts, PCR test misuse) enriched “snake oil salesmen” like Fauci. This mirrors historical fearmongering (9/11, Waco) to erode rights, with elites profiting from compliance.Trump's Tariffs Impact on Small Businesses (01:11:21 - 01:16:20)An NFIB survey shows Trump's unpredictable tariffs are reducing small business optimism (down to 95.8, below the 51-year average), creating market uncertainty akin to Covid-era disruption. Small businesses face tight margins, reduced hiring, and stalled investments, with tech sector impacts highlighted by YouTubers Louis Rossman and Gamers Nexus.DEA Corruption in Drug War (01:27:30 - 01:35:58)An AP article reveals Diego Marin, a Cali cartel figure, evaded capture with DEA complicity, bribing agents while building a $100M money-laundering empire. Compared to Whitey Bulger and Iran-Contra, it's framed as a problem-reaction-solution tactic to expand the police state.Mexican Navy Ship Crash (01:37:07 - 01:39:26)An NBC News report describes a Mexican Navy sailing ship crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge, killing two and injuring 22 due to a mechanical failure. The surreal event stunned New Yorkers, highlighting the unexpected nature of Mexico's sailing navy.CDC Covid Vaccine Recommendations (01:52:26 - 01:56:33)A Wall Street Journal article reports the Trump administration plans to drop routine Covid vaccine recommendations for pregnant women, teenagers, and children, led by HHS Secretary RFK Jr. The host criticizes the CDC's blanket recommendation (everyone 6 months and older) due to no long-term safety data, profit-driven motives, and harmful side effects, arguing the vaccine should be removed entirely.HHS Covid Vaccine Recommendations and Authority (02:05:33 - 02:13:16)Dr. Ruby critiques HHS's plan to stop recommending Covid vaccines for children and pregnant women as a red herring, given its authority over FDA, NIH, CMS, and CDC to demand immediate removal. She warns of deceptive terms like “considering” and questions state chemtrail bans, citing federal exemptions (Title 50, Prep Act) and global air circulation, suspecting controlled opposition.Novavax Approval Critique and Bird Flu (02:21:20 - 02:30:03)The FDA fully approved Novavax's Covid shot, marketed as non-mRNA but using synthetic spike proteins from moth cells, posing risks like myocarditis with no long-term studies. Dr. Ruby warns of off-label use and compares it to Pfizer/Moderna's rollout. She critiques bird flu as a fabricated threat, with chicken culling inflating egg prices and testing economic control, not addressing real disease.Vaccine Shedding and Industry Protections (02:16:43 - 02:51:36)Pfizer's investigator brochure admits Covid vaccine shedding via inhalation and skin contact, raising concerns about unknown contents affecting unvaccinated individuals. Dr. Ruby highlights the vaccine industry's Prep Act immunity, with government payouts in vaccine court, and Pfizer's 50% non-disclosure agreement, allowing undisclosed ingredients, akin to coercive contracts demanding country assets.Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

In a two-part exposé packed with revelations, this broadcast uncovers how foreign threats and internal chaos collide. Part one reveals a stunning breach in U.S. national security: Chinese-made solar inverters, embedded in our energy grid, may allow Beijing remote access—sparking serious questions about American vulnerability and political will to decouple from China. Despite repeated trade betrayals and cyberattacks, leadership appears hesitant to act decisively. Part two shifts to domestic turbulence. A disturbing bombing at an IVF clinic is linked to a radicalized antinatalist and registered Democrat—yet mainstream media quickly mislabels him as a pro-lifer. This incident joins a growing pattern of left-wing violence downplayed or mischaracterized. The segment also breaks down the Biden classified documents scandal, highlighting the hypocrisy in legal treatment compared to Trump, and questions the timing of Biden's cancer disclosure as a potential tactic to avoid prosecution. Together, these episodes paint a stark picture: America's biggest threats may be both foreign and within—and too many in power are looking the other way.

On this episode of Bongino Report Early Edition, Evita covers Biden's shocking cancer announcement, an anti-natalist terrorist bombing an IVF clinic, and the left declaring a very much alive, pregnant Georgia woman 'brain dead.'

Guest: Maggie Garnsey, Progyny Member at Santander Host: Dan Bulger, Progyny   For LGBTQ+ couples, traditional fertility coverage can leave them behind with little to no access to the actual coverage. Many are forced to undergo unnecessary, emotionally taxing procedures to meet outdated definitions of infertility. For Maggie and her wife, Alli, they thought they would need to pursue IUI, like many of their friends.   However, Maggie discovered that her employer, Santander Bank, offered inclusive fertility benefits through Progyny and that they had something rare: options.  In this episode, Maggie takes us through their family forming journey: from discovering the benefit, to forgoing healthcare through Alli's role in the military in pursuit of the best family building option. The couple opted for a reciprocal IVF journey, where using a sperm donor, Alli would retrieve eggs, genetically test and freeze embryos, for Maggie to one day soon, take on the role of carrying the pregnancy.   Maggie also shares the importance of their village, showing up in ways that make the journey feel a little lighter, like hosting their friends to help choose a sperm donor and consulting couples they know have been in their shoes. Maggie shares her gratitude for how seamless their journey has been thus far, and when Alli returns from her upcoming deployment, their dreams of family will soon become a reality.  For more information, visit Progyny's Podcast page and Progyny's Education page for more resources.

Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Many people have questions as to whether or not this has been known for a while, or if this is a truly fresh diagnosis. Partial audio of Biden's interview with Special Counsel Hur has been released.

The struggle seems real. Surveys show a growing disconnect from the church, and there's a stark decline in spiritual leaders, all while more people identify with no religion. You also wonder why you struggle so much with your own personal challenges. But instead of letting you live with the tension and suspense of what will happen amidst all this struggle, Jesus, who has a clear view of the future, spoils the ending by revealing the future of everyone who follows him.Where do you turn to overcome feelings of worthlessness, fear, depression, or anxiety?  Your self is the last place you should look. But God's help . . . that's a different story. In Amber Albee Swenson's new book, The Key to Confidence: Where to Go When You Feel You're Not Strong Enough, you'll discover how you can live with greater boldness and joy when you learn to find your confidence in Christ. God didn't make you to sit on the sidelines. And once you realize where your true confidence comes from, nothing will be able to hold you back!  About "Taboo Questions With Pastor Mike Novotny": Have you ever had questions you wanted to ask a pastor but felt silly or embarrassed to ask them?

//The Wire//2300Z May 17, 2025////PRIORITY////BLUF: IED DETONATES AT IVF CLINIC IN PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-California: This afternoon a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) was detonated at the American Reproductive Centers clinic in Palm Springs. Local authorities and eyewitness testimony indicates that a vehicle parked in the parking lot to rear of the structure contained an explosive device which detonated, causing severe damage to the clinic.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As this is a developing situation, it's too soon to tell what the motive might be with any certainty; there are many different reasons as to why a terrorist may wish to conduct an attack at an IVF clinic. At least one individual was killed in the blast, and several more were wounded. However it's not clear as to if the victims were inside the clinic at the time, or were random passersby.Though further technical analysis will be required, the initial characteristics of the extremely severe damage indicates that this was a substantial and properly constructed IED. This was very likely not the result of a simple pipe bomb, but rather much more explosive material.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Today, Ali sits down with her dear friend and Fertility Rally member, Caitlin Trabert, for a raw and powerful conversation about her long and deeply emotional path to parenthood. Caitlin opens up about the heartbreak of multiple pregnancies and subsequent losses, her husband's balanced translocation, and the toll of IVF—physically, emotionally, and mentally. From the crushing "egg winner" high to the "zero embryos" low, a surprise pregnancy that ended in miscarriage, and learning her mom had breast cancer on the same day she was miscarrying—Caitlin talks about how hard it is to trust your body after so much loss, and joining Fertility Rally—an experience she describes as the best decision she's made. She talks about welcoming her daughter, Parker, into the world, and finally, being pregnant again with a baby that's due this year.TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; pregnancy loss; miscarriage; IVF; embryo transfers; egg retrievals, pregnancy after infertility; balanced translocation Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsEPISODE SPONSORS:WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book about IVF and Assisted Reproductive Technologyhttps://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksDo not miss Ali's children's book about IVF!

I've yet to meet someone that dreamed of the day they could become my patient. You may dream of your wedding day. Or maybe you may fantasize about your next vacation destination, or the day you buy a house or seeing your future child graduate from high school. But I'm guessing that when you think of those milestones in life, my bet is that nowhere in that world are you thinking about me — a fertility doctor?  It's just not happening. And here's the thing — while I love my patients and have been known to tell a good joke or two, it's my honest hope that I never have to meet you. That's because deep down, I want to PREVENT infertility. My job as a doctor is to do my best to ensure I educate you enough that many of you will never need to visit me. Of course, many of you may become my patients, and I truly do love the work I get to do. Today on the podcast, I'm making the bold move to outline how you can go about not becoming my patient. If you follow Patagonia clothing company, it's sort of like how they have ads that say, “Don't Buy This Shirt.” They are a company that's about sustainability. They don't want you to buy another shirt. Well, I guess I'm the Patagonia of fertility medicine. I don't want you to need my services. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 우리의 대리모 이야기| Our Sùúrùgate Journey - Welcoming our Joy | Episode 15 (2025)Last year, I had my second child through surrogacy. It was a long, tedious, and rewarding journey that inspired this series: Sùúrùgate. This premiere episode of the Sùúrùgate series is a deeply personal monologue about my journey to motherhood. A journey that spanned nearly a decade and took me through infertility, loss, hope, adoption, and finally, surrogacy.I open up about the early days of trying to conceive, the countless medical procedures, failed IVF cycles, and the heartbreak that followed each disappointment. I speak honestly about the emotional toll, the spiritual wrestling, and the cultural expectations that made the experience even more isolating.After adopting our first child, Ariifeoluwa, surrogacy became another viable option to parenthood. My husband and I chose to explore that route in Nigeria. I walk you through how we selected a clinic, navigated contracts, and managed the long-distance process.I also reflect on the silence and stigma that often surround infertility in African and faith-based communities. Through this monologue, I hope to break that silence, sharing not just the hard parts, but also the faith, patience (sùúrù), and unexpected beauty that carried me through.This episode sets the tone for the rest of the Sùúrùgate series, where I'll dive deeper into the practical and emotional aspects of building a family in unconventional ways, especially from an African and diasporan lens. So stay tuned for the whole month as we dive into Sùúrùgate.

The first thing many doctors do when a couple is struggling to get pregnant is run some lab work. AMH is a common lab run that suggests your "egg count" and is often interpreted as your future ability to get pregnant successfully. Dr. Codruta Pandaleche, a restorative reproductive physician previously working with THE leading RRM clinic in the world (NeoFertility in Ireland), shares why AMH is NOT a predictor of fertility. If your doctor is telling you you need to pursue IVF because of low AMH levels, listen to this episode first and share it with your friends! AMH is NOT a predictor of your fertility. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences. Guest Biography:A native of Romania, Dr. Codruta Pandaleche has been a practicing physician for 16 years and most recently in the specialty of restorative reproductive medicine at NeoFertility in Ireland. She is now the medical director at Saol Nua Clinic and specializes in women who want to conceive with low AMH and those who experience recurrent miscarriages. Helpful links:Ep. 69: AMH - Can it tell you if you're infertile?Saol Nua Clinichttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35147056/Send us a textSupport the showOther great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care: Learn the Creighton Model System with us!

You don't have to hold on to what's not yours. Let the earth take it. Topics Discussed: Energetic grounding for fertility clarity Emotional release through meditation Nervous system regulation and coherence Fertility burnout and energy depletion Daily rituals to support subconscious healing You are not meant to carry it all. You're meant to clear, to ground, to connect. Hello Beautiful, Monica here supporting you to become the conscious mama you were born to be… Let's get real: if you're exhausted from trying everything and still feeling like your body's working against you, this episode is for you. I'm guiding you through the exact energy-clearing meditation that's helped me show up with way more peace, trust, and emotional bandwidth—even on the wildest days. No white-knuckling. No fake zen. Just real, grounded energy work that clears out the crap clogging your system. Because here's the deal: when you're on the fertility rollercoaster, your nervous system doesn't lie. You can drink the green juice, pop the supplements, and track your cycle till you're blue in the face—but if you're energetically clogged, you're not going to hear your intuition. This practice helps you drop in fast, clear emotional junk drawers, and open up that divine two-way convo between your womb and the universe. This isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up for your energy like it actually matters. Press play, drop in, and let's start clearing what was never yours to carry. Consistency isn't control—it's devotion to your own energy. Timestamps 00:00 - Why your nervous system needs this daily practice 01:30 - How Monica uses this meditation in chaotic moments 05:32 - Rooting into the earth: releasing what you've absorbed 08:57 - Connecting to source: your body's divine channel 11:35 - Building your frequency field for daily energetic protection 14:13 - How to instantly return to this grounded state 16:07 - A bold offer for burnt-out women ready to break the cycle This is one of the best ways to feel the energetic shift you've been longing for.

A wide range of perinatal mental health topics come up in my therapy practice, including issues with conception, birth, postpartum, and much more. I frequently see people go through multiple rounds of IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies through years of struggles to have a child. Often overlooked in these attempts is the impact when these efforts do not result in a baby, and this experience needs to be acknowledged and discussed. Multiple attempts with unsuccessful outcomes can be the end of their journey to have a baby. Tough decisions have to be made when age, mental and physical health, and financial resources force an end to their hopes and dreams. Today's episode focuses on the intense grief and profound identity shifts that can occur when all of those best efforts do not result in a baby.  Show Highlights: There is no timeline for the grief and depression someone may feel when their motherhood dream ends. People go into the IVF process believing that persistence WILL result in a child. The relationship with your own body becomes complicated, especially when there are no answers. Dealing with well-intentioned people with unending advice adds to the pressure you feel. This kind of grief becomes invisible. Being a mother might be intertwined with your sense of purpose and identity in the world. Profound, life-altering grief can accompany your loss of identity. Therapy can be helpful and offer you a safe space. Grief does not have to be a hopeless process. It's okay to feel what you feel. Dr. Kat's words of hope to those who are grieving Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773. There are many free resources, like online support groups, peer mentors, a specialist provider directory, and perinatal mental health training for therapists, physicians, nurses, doulas, and anyone who wants to be more supportive in offering services.  You can also follow PSI on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and most other platforms Visit www.postpartum.net/professionals/certificate-trainings/ for information on the grief course.   Visit my website, www.wellmindperinatal.com, for more information, resources, and courses you can take today!

The desire to share life with a partner doesn't just disappear when we choose to start our families on our own. And it doesn't have to. Today's new episode is a beautiful reminder that both things can be true: you can want motherhood and partnership, and you don't have to give up one to have the other.At 35, Erin Russell was faced with the hard realization that her family line would end with her if she didn't pursue parenthood soon, so she started seriously considering solo motherhood. But right as she was preparing to begin fertility treatments, life threw her a curveball — she met someone.Erin was clear about what she wanted and gave the relationship space to grow. But when it became obvious they weren't aligned on having kids, she made the powerful decision to walk away. She ordered donor sperm the very next day.Becoming a mom didn't erase Erin's hope of sharing life with a partner. Just two months after her son was born, she started dating again — not out of pressure or urgency, but as a way to reconnect with herself, enjoy adult time, and stay open to love.Now that her son is two and she's happily in a relationship that feels like the right fit, Erin reflects on what it's been like to still want partnership as a solo mom by choice, and how she's navigating love, parenting, and a changing sense of identity all at once.In this episode, we talk about:How Erin knew it was time to pursue solo motherhoodThe challenges of navigating IUI, IVF, and insurance hurdlesWhy "just surviving" the newborn stage isn't enough, and how building a support system made all the differenceThe guilt and reality of sending your baby to daycare as a solo momDating as a solo mom: why Erin started early, how she set her own pace, and what she looked for in a partnerHow she's weaving her new relationship into her solo mom lifeAnd why the grief of doing it alone doesn't just disappear once your baby arrivesWhether you're considering solo motherhood, already parenting, or wondering if dating might fit into your life someday, Erin's story is full of honesty, hope, and real-world encouragement for wherever you are on the path.Want to connect with Erin Russell?Follow Erin on InstagramCheck out Erin's writingRead Erin's article on SMBCs (featuring me as an interviewee!)
