薇薇有一天忽然接到一个香港生殖中心的电话，问她是否还要继续保留10年前冻在那里的一颗、也是唯一的一颗卵子。时间久远，这颗卵子早在岁月的长河里被遗忘。一个晴空万里的日子，一个卡夫卡式的现代女性议题意外降临。在与这个卵子挥手道别之后，薇薇决定和大家分享关于自己经历过的冻卵和试管婴儿（IVF）这段旅程。当冻卵在主流叙事中成为一个当代独立女性的标签和时代的红利，请不要低估在这个过程中付出情绪和心理代 价。决定冻卵需要考虑的四件事：1.冻卵要趁早，不要拖延。2. 做好功课，对辅助生殖技术本身和它对女性的影响（包括风险）做充分的了解. 3. 选择适合自己的医生和诊所，选择会全程陪伴你、给你情绪价值的医生，不要迷信诊所排名。4. 看见自己的情绪，关照自己的感受，建立自己的支持系统，及时求助。时间轴：07:10冻卵不仅仅是一个技术问题，也是对女性生理和心理的双重挑战。07:50 一个美好的早晨，一个关于一颗卵的决定，一个现代女性的卡夫卡时刻，和由此带来的猝不及防的情绪和情感冲击。10:12 女生是不是真的和自己的卵子很熟？你观察过自己的排卵吗？12:56只有一颗卵有卵用吗？需要多少颗卵才够做IVF（试管婴儿）？18:02什么年龄最适合冻卵？35岁之后，女性的生育能力断崖式下降20:22冻卵在国内合法吗？女性若想在国内冻卵，需要符合哪些条件？22:13试管婴儿（IVF）是什么？和冻卵有啥区别？23:14冻受精卵和冻卵子之间的区别是什么？如果选择冻受精卵，如何选择精子？24:22人工授精（IUI）和试管婴儿（IVF）之间的区别是什么？26:23接受辅助生殖是一个什么样的过程和体验？对女性的健康会造成哪些伤害？27:57关于卵的卡夫卡时刻和村上春树时刻29:00薇薇的至暗时刻31:15关于冻卵，主流叙事往往强调独立女性可以在技术的加持下做出独立的选择这个A面；而它的B面，那些情感和心理上的代价，很少被提及32:45女性在努力尝试怀孕时的‘疯魔'状态和宇宙裂缝35:52母职议题上的兔子洞：意外怀孕带来的困境42:41做母亲是女性的存在性议题，女性的一生是被她们一一经历的生理周期来界定的45:03经历了这一切，如何重新看待是否要做母亲这个议题？46:34尝试过了，了无遗憾。世上有些事，不是只要努力就能成功，学会接纳自己的有限性。48:00当不当母亲，人生的剧本都很精彩，也充满不甘和遗憾。48:51关于生育和繁衍的意义：我们为什么想要生孩子？为什么执著于延续自己的基因？56:56生殖冲动和大自然的设计，为什么男性对繁衍有更大的执念？59:31我们终将被自己的基因绑架。60:26除了孩子，我们想给这个世界留下什么？64:20妈妈的遗愿：给女儿留一个可以哭的地方。64:54 人与之之间的牵绊和为什么抵触牵绊。67:18 关于衰老焦虑73:43人与人之间更深的关系来自于互相亏欠74:30柴最近的一个顿悟时刻：AI时代，所有引以为傲的工具化职业属性都可以被AI代替，不如保持自己的复杂性、独特性和软弱性76:14 AI来了，未来女性生育年龄和职业发展与心智成熟的时间错位与冲突也许会消失。77:05决定要去冻卵需要考虑的四件事。83:34向自己在世界上最后一颗卵子道别。Have a good journey!欢迎关注Slightly Open。这是三位女性的一个小型谈话节目，薇薇，Coco（@Wang蔻蔻）和老柴（@老柴）。也欢迎关注我们的小红书同名账号！本期思考：你在考虑冻卵吗？你是否有冻卵的经历？那是一个怎样的经历？你在这个过程中是否关照自己。

Diagnosed with endometriosis at age 19, Marche was told she would probably never have babies. It was the early 2000s, post women's liberation and even when Marche found herself expectedly pregnant she considered termination. Before she could decide what she wanted to do, Marche was incorrectly diagnosed with a blighted ovum, and told she'd miscarry. About to start grad school and ridden with grief, Marche took abortifacients, only to find out the day after that she'd been incorrectly diagnosed. A thorough look into Marche's health history and the ways she was victimized by the medical industry, sets the backdrop for how she became the perfect consumer of the fertility industry. Marche details the dehumanization she experienced during the IUI/IVF process, the tens of thousands of dollars down the drain, the evisceration of love between she and her husband during this time, and how she ultimately shifted her perspective from seeing her attempt to rent her best friend's womb as camaraderie, to the unjustifiable utilization and commodification of women's bodies. Join us for the upcoming 3-part master class series:

ASK CAROLINA ANYTHINGToday, we'll be discussing a topic that many people face in their journey towards parenthood, the heartbreak of failed IUI or IVF attempts. It's a difficult situation to be in, and one that can feel isolating and overwhelming. In this episode, we'll offer some guidance on how to move forward when things don't go as planned.Firstly, it's essential to take time to sit with your emotions and share them with your partner or a trusted friend or therapist. It's okay to feel sadness, anger, or disappointment. Don't try to push these feelings away or minimize them. Instead, give yourself permission to feel them fully.One helpful tool that can aid in this healing process is a reiki womb blessing. This treatment allows your womb to relax, harmonize emotions, and release any residual energy stuck in the uterus and pelvis.Discuss next steps with your partner and doctor. Ask why the procedure failed to see if there is any clarity to be gained. Ultimately, it's important to always listen to your intuition or inner voice. Trust that you know what's best for you and your journey towards parenthood.If you're facing the heartbreak of a failed IUI or IVF attempt, know that you're not alone. We hope that this episode has provided you with some guidance and support as you move forward towards your dreams of starting or growing your family.What you'll learn:1:28 Why it's important to speak your emotions4:57 Treating failed IUI/IVF as miscarriage7:30 Knowing the optionsLet's connect!The Carolina Sotomayor Podcast is brought to you by Carolina Sotomayor and the Fertility Foundation.Carolina Sotomayor is an Expert Womb Healer who helps women conceive by removing physiological blockages with Reiki.

We can feel so anxious and overwhelmed when a fertility specialist or even our partner is pushing us to take the next step forward with treatment but we don't feel ready.  In this episode I share three different mind-body techniques to allow you to make a decision from a place of confidence rather than fear.  I discuss how to decide when you should start or continue fertility treatment be that Clomid, IUI, IVF or ICSI. www.embracefertility.co.uk/embrace for 12 week course www.embracefertility.co.uk/coaching for therapy

In today's episode I chat to Matilda who is a midwife in Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) and a first-time mum to baby Roma. When she and her wife, Al, started talking about having a baby, they presumed Matilda would carry the pregnancy using Al's egg and anonymous donor sperm. However, Al's brother agreed to donate his sperm so they began their conception journey doing home insemination. After five months with no success, they opted to go through an IVF clinic and started with IUI before moving onto IVF. Matilda talks at length about her expectations of labour through a midwifery lens and the reality of contractions, birthing and breastfeeding. This is a beautiful, inspiring episode that details an intuitive and positive physiological water birth. I'm counting down the weeks till my new book, The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, is published. It covers everything you need as you journey through pregnancy and prepare for a positive birth experience. --> Pre-order it  now.

In this episode, Alana details her long and challenging fertility journey. After years of IVF using her own eggs and donor sperm, she navigated the loss and grief of multiple chemical pregnancies and miscarriages. Alana and her partner, Amanda, made the decision to use Amanda's eggs because the quality of Alana's weren't genetically viable. After the first transfer Alana fell pregnant and, despite a scary bleed at six weeks, her pregnancy was a relatively smooth experience. A self-confessed researcher and planner, she opted for continuity of care with a private obstetrician and when her waters broke at 36 weeks, she laboured beautifully and experienced a physiological birth and third stage.

In episode 328 Rachel talks in depth about her ten rounds of IVF over seven years. She discloses the emotional toll of 15 embryo transfers, the challenge of seeing friends and family members fall pregnant with ease, and the simultaneous joy and fear of growing and birthing her miracle baby, Sigrid. Seventeen months after giving birth, Rachel admits that she still cries when she thinks about that day when she finally met her daughter. 

When your fertility journey has taken you to explore medical options like IUI/IVF and other assisted reproductive methods, it can feel like the last resort.So when you have a failed cycle the pain can feel pretty raw and bigger.Today I want to talk to you about how to start to process a failed IUI/IVF cycle and what you can start to do to truly heal so you can move forward with your journey and not take that pain with you.Bella xx

Did you know that 1 in 8 couples struggle with infertility or frequent miscarriages? Protility, a functional medicine approach to infertility, was created by Travis Zipper and myself as a way to help optimize the health of both the male and female in order to support and increase the odds of conceiving naturally or with IUI/IVF. We peel back ALL of the layers and address nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors that play a huge role in your fertility. Protility's 8-step program addresses several stages covering conception to pregnancy, and even postpartum to optimize having a safe birth,  a healthy baby, and take mom into a full recovery.   Take it from me, the infertility rollercoaster is not a fun ride. It's scary, overwhelming, and oftentimes extremely confusing. Your time and energy are so valuable and It's time to start working with a team and be armed with all of the education and possibilities that can take you from Full-term and Beyond. This podcast audio was taken from a webinar that we did, follow along with the video and slides

Due to being new to the process, it is with hindsight that she realises the error of misinformation on the clinic's part may have caused their cycles to fail. Fertility treatment costs ( https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?data=04%7C01%7C%7Cca2f41001bcf44c1c58c08d9366605d2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637600634071072027%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&reserved=0&sdata=L0RT7r6p7JZyj56Hqu67i4eDjF%2F2Gbc99aION958hI8%3D&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fertilityhelphub.com%2Fblog%2Fcauses-treatment%2Ffertility-treatment-costs%2F ) in the USA can be high, so when a medical practitioner fails to properly inform their patients, they are potentially risking this huge and maybe only opportunity for the patient to conceive. Factoring in the misinformation, cost and the pandemic, it is understandable why some of the excitement of the process ( https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?data=04%7C01%7C%7Cca2f41001bcf44c1c58c08d9366605d2%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637600634071082018%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&reserved=0&sdata=ICOv9%2FcDYHGWlZc6pNSXUl4UD5UboYG3E68Ohrmv2Qs%3D&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fertilityhelphub.com%2Fblog%2Fwellbeing%2Fivf-tips-hsfc%2F ) for Dani has been spoiled and why taking a break was the best option for her and her partner.

I love getting your questions for Ask The Egg Whisperer. In this episode, Shereen from the Middle East sent in a great question. Here's what she want's to know, "What is your advice for women over 40 who are undergoing hormone induction and probably will do IUI/IVF vs COVID vaccine?  Is it advisable to get the vaccine if a woman has future plans to have kids? Thanks, and God bless." My recommendation is get the vaccine. I want all my patients to be fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated means is that they have had their second shot. If they're doing the two shot Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, you will want to have that second shot two weeks before their embryo transfer, and it's the same thing with doing an IUI. That's what I recommend.  Tune in to hear my answer, and 9 other questions from listeners and followers.

#015: This is my most vulnerable episode to date. To be honest, I'm a little scared to share it. In this episode, I share my fertility journey, from iui to IVF to ultimately accepting childlessness.TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODEEvery woman's fertility journey is deeply personal. Many times women don't share about their fertility journey because there is a lot of shame and embarrassment around infertility.If you know someone going through infertility, the ONLY thing to do is to ask how you can support them. Please don't offer advice or opinions unless specifically asked for.There is an ‘X factor' to manifestation. Sometimes you can do everything right in manifesting a dream and the universe will still say, “This is not for you. Not right now.” When that happens, the only thing to do is surrender and move forward.For women going through IVF, here is our method for surviving progesterone shots:Warm up the syringe under your armpit while warming up your hip with a heating pad. After administering the shot, massage the area with a tennis ball. SONGS IN THIS EPISODE:“Seventeen” - Bang Sugar BangThank you so much for listening!

Dr. Amy Day joins us today as we're digging into how to get pregnant naturally with endometriosis. Endometriosis affects approximately 175 million women in the world and 1 in 10 women in their reproductive years. It can take anywhere from 6-10 years to get an endometriosis diagnosis – so many women struggle and are simply told, “that it’s just a bad period”. March is endometriosis awareness month. As you may know, we specialize in complex cases such as low AMH, high FSH, premature ovarian insufficiency, and diminished ovarian reserve. Many women with endometriosis have low AMH and they are told that IVF is their only option. This conventional medicine approach leaves couples that are trying to conceive frustrated and unsure of their next steps – especially if they have experienced IUI/IVF failures. What we know from working with clients with endometriosis is that healing opportunities are regularly missed…it’s not about focusing on the endo diagnosis it’s looking at the WHOLE body. What if there was a proven method to reduce endometriosis symptoms and get pregnant naturally? I’m excited to welcome Dr. Amy Day to the podcast. Dr. Day is a hormone expert, an author, and a speaker. She has been at the forefront of the natural women’s health movement since 2004 after receiving the 4th ND license in the state of California. In this episode you'll learn: 1) The conventional approach to endo versus the functional approach.. (i.e. surgery, birth control, and more). 2) The biggest mistakes around diet and endo 3) Why regulating blood sugar can be helpful for endo symptoms 4) How to minimize environmental toxin exposure and why this matters if you have endo. 5) Is endo always estrogen dominance?   Take the free quiz - Why Am I Always Tired - https://replenishyourenergy.com/quiz   TIMESTAMPS: 05:02- INTRO TO TODAY'S EPISODE AND DR.

Recommendations for surgeries (Nancy's Nook on Facebook) 20:16- ADDRESSING ENDO WITH DIET Elimination diet and looking at digestive health Why we need to understand how the endo cells grow (and what we can do) One food she would highly recommend that we test-taking out of our diet Blood sugar and insulin’s role in addressing endo Her take on vegan and vegetarian diets 26:54- ENVIRONMENTAL TOXIN’S EFFECT ON ENDO “Having an awareness about the things in and around your body and in your home is really important” Our responsibility with exposure and also DETOXING 31:41- SLEEP’S EFFECT ON ENDO “When you are sleeping is when your body heals.” Being OKAY with sleeping more (it is productive) “Sleeping is not lazy- you need it.” The connection between exhaustion and endo Going to sleep earlier and creating a solid bedtime routine 37:02- STRESS’ IMPACT ON ENDO AND OUR HORMONES Stress can be good, it's not the enemy.

Angela Coraccio is a writer and editor who was involved in starting up the Abortion Rights Campaign in Ireland. In this episode of Bits of Me, she shares her experience of infertility: from fighting for an endometriosis diagnosis and coming to terms with the fact that her husband was not sold on the idea of trying for a baby, to measuring and scheduling and tracking everything, trying IUI, and eventually deciding that she was done focusing on this one thing she wasn't able to achieve. We talk about the online forums, the things people say, what grief does to you and why reproductive choices should be destigmatised, regardless of the situation. You'll find Angela's blog, which features everything from home renovation updates to thoughts on infertility and body image, at http://thinkofmeoften.blogspot.com.

Many people who experience infertility eventually decide to pursue IUI, IVF or other assisted reproductive technologies to grow their families. But what if IUI or IVF isn’t the right choice for you? Today we’re talking to Katie Zieba who speaks candidly about her and her husband’s decision to not pursue fertility treatments.You can learn more about Katie Zieba and her decision to let go of infertility in this blog post she wrote for Fruitful Fertility: https://www.fruitfulfertility.org/blog/1882/saying-no-to-fertility-treatments/

Brandy Buskow joins us today as we are digging into DUTCH 101 and what it means for fertility. You may have been told that your hormones are imbalanced and that your only option is IUI/IVF. Or that you have poor egg health, low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, premature ovarian insufficiency and that there is nothing that can be done to optimize your fertility – so donor eggs are your only answer. But do you know WHY there is an imbalance? When we address the stressors in your body such as food sensitivity, gut infections, environmental toxin exposure, mental emotional stress, thyroid imbalance, blood sugar imbalance the body begins to heal. Because if your body is under attack it wants to survive not procreate. As part of our Fab Fertile Method we include functional testing (i.e. food sensitivity, hormone, stool and hair) so that we can develop a customized protocol to help prepare your body for a baby. When we myopically look at our egg health, hormones or focus entirely on our infertility diagnosis, we miss crucial healing opportunities. The DUTCH test is one of our favourite functional tests. It looks at your hormones using urine and provides an extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones, melatonin along with their metabolites. I'm excited to welcome Brandy Buskow back to the podcast. Brandy is part of my team here at Fab Fertile. She is our Clinical Advisor and an integral part of our Couples Coaching program - which uses functional lab testing, diet and lifestyle changes to dramatically improve conception. If you are struggling with infertility...your body is desperately trying to tell you something...focusing on your health will either help you get pregnant naturally or if you do need to go to the fertility clinic it will improve your chances of success. She is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and Certified Transformational Health Coach and EFT Practitioner. In this episode you'll learn: 1) What it means when your melatonin is low and the connection to gut health. Why continuing to supplement without correcting the root cause doesn’t work. 2) What your cortisol (stress hormone) means for fertility and steps you can take right now. Especially important if you have been under chronic stress. 3) We discuss estrogen dominance (PMS, anxiety, anger, bloating etc.) how the DUTCH test helps to give us clues for healing. 4) We dig into low estrogen (which may be the case for low AMH, high FSH, low ovarian reserve…BUT may not be the case for all women with this diagnosis). How the DUTCH test goes deeper and shows us what is actually happening with estrogen levels. Why supplementing with DHEA for low ovarian reserve may not be the best option. Follow along as we review the DUTCH test. Download the DUTCH we discuss during the podcast. --- TIMESTAMPS 06:25- BRANDY'S BIO 08:10- WHAT IS THE DUTCH TEST? What do the numbers mean?

In episode 89, I interview Naturopath, midwife, and women's health expert, Dr. Jennifer Mercier. We talk about the hands-on therapy she developed to help women struggling with infertility and pelvic health issues. Mercier Therapy is a deep pelvic organ visceral manipulation technique that can help restore normal anatomy and blood flow in the pelvis. This can have a profound effect on menstrual cycle health, ovarian function and hormone production, which encompass many of the underlying causes of trouble conceiving. Clinically, Mercier Therapy has been shown to be effective in addressing endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, luteal phase defect, PCOS, recurrent miscarriage, and several other issues. It can either be used as a standalone therapy or in preparation for IUI/IVF and it’s proven incredibly successful in achieving pregnancy, even in difficult cases. In this episode, you'll learn: What women need to know about conventional fertility treatment options that are often not shared by doctors What led her to the creation of Mercier Therapy as a possible solution to fertility struggles How Mercier Therapy works and the specific issues or conditions it can help address Mercier Therapy success rates in comparison to mainstream fertility treatments and how it can also be used in preparation for IUI or IVF How to find a practitioner trained in Mercier Therapy if you’re interested in exploring it yourself You can find show notes for the episode and links to Dr. Mercier's website and documentary at https://tinyfeet.co/my-podcast/89.

Mia Mancuso joins us today as we're digging into the impact of alcohol on preconception health. Today I speak with Mia Mancuso, Registered Nurse, Breathwork space holder, Accountability Coach for the Gray Area Drinker and a proud silver-haired (yep, it’s real) teetotaling broad. Studies have found even drinking as few as 4 alcoholic drinks per week - decreases IVF live birth rate. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4487775/ Alcohol has been shown to decrease the quality, quantity, and motility of sperm. It takes 90 days for the egg to renew and the life cycle of the sperm is 70-80 days. Stopping a minimum of 3 months prior to conception. It can also impact ovulation. Making it difficult to conceive. Plus there is no safe amount of alcohol in pregnancy. We'll discuss how you and your partner can quit drinking to maximize your preconception health. Plus how to deal with societal pressures to drink and how to be social while sober. -- Registration for Mindfulness Fertility Series Closes Today - Sept 23rd - this course is only offered 2x/year.

She. Has.Two.Sets.Of.Twins. Gosh. Where do I begin? Katie talks vulnerably about her long fertility journey and how she got to be a mom to two sets of twins. After many years of the “we will just see what happens” method, she stumbled upon the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility which empowered her to visit a fertility specialist and to listen to her body. She walks us through getting pregnant on clomed and then an early miscarriage. She details exactly what it is like to show up in a fertility clinic and the steps they take and how they take them to help women get pregnant. She tried the meds, IUI. She had a lazy left ovary and endometrial biopsies revealed a hormonal and PH imbalance in the uterus. She only has 2 viable embryos and implants them both. After a successful pregnancy, she ends up in the hospital on bed rest for 6 weeks with preeclampsia. Her journey includes trauma and anxiety both antepartum and postpartum. At delivery, her uterus inverts and she hemorrhages requiring several blood transfusions. She opens up about how Zoloft really helped her. Then, 2.5 years after this whole ordeal, she finds herself pregnant naturally and the egg split delivering her the miracle of identical twins. Listen in to hear more.
