Fertility Docs Uncensored is back with a deep dive into the endometrium—your uterine lining and a key player in fertility. Hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center, this episode answers listener questions and unpacks everything you need to know about this important tissue. The docs start with uterine artery embolization and how it can impact future pregnancies—touching on risks like decreased blood flow to the baby, stillbirth, and placenta increta. They also explore different endometrial biopsies (Receptiva, ALICE, EMMA, and ERA) and how they help evaluate the lining. Endometritis and polyps are also on the table: what they mean, how often they appear, and why treatment is often recommended.

You'll also hear about stimulation options using estrogen patches or FSH, the use of modified natural cycles, and the role of hormones like prolactin and thyroid in cycle length. Even weight changes can alter hormones and ovulation. Finally, the docs explain endometrial thickness and the relationship to frozen embryo transfer (FET) success rates. Tune in for this essential guide to all things endometrium! This podcast was sponsored by Shady Grove Fertility.

Now WAIT—I know what you're thinking… finance is probably your least favorite “F” word too. But when it comes to family planning and fertility treatments, it's an important piece of the puzzle. We've talked about the emotional side of fertility struggles and IVF on the show before, but today we're pulling back the curtain on the financial reality. Because let's be honest—things like IVF, egg freezing, and other treatments can be really expensive. And to make matters more complicated, insurance doesn't always cover them. So what are we supposed to do? This week, Claire Tomkins, CEO & Founder of Future Family (and mom of three via IVF) joins the show. After six rounds of IVF (and over $100K) to conceive her first child, she became passionate about making fertility care more accessible and founded Future Family to help others navigate the process. In this episode, we cover: ✨ The real costs behind IVF, egg freezing, and other common fertility treatments ✨ Creative ways to make treatments more financially manageable ✨ The role of insurance and what to look out for in your benefits ✨ Claire's personal advice for anyone thinking about or currently going through the process If you or someone you love is exploring fertility treatments, this episode is a must-listen!

Amy Sheppard of the hit band Sheppard, joins us on The Heart Of It alongside her husband, Lachlan, to share the inside story of their relationship. They open up about the early days, where romance had to compete with global smash hits, appearances on Ellen, brushes with Justin Bieber, and more than a little doubt. Now, they’re happily married, more in love than ever, and are embarking on a brand-new journey to become parents through IVF. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Amy is celebrating another huge milestone, her debut solo album and we’re the very first to talk to her about it.

Supplements become very expensive pee if you're not lowering your inflammation. Topics Discussed: Spirit babies and soul contracts in fertility journeys Outsourcing vs embodying personal empowerment Desperation, intuition, and fertility choices Radical honesty in healing and coaching Inflammation, nervous system health, and IVF readiness Why joy and self-worth are essential for conception If you're looking for a yes person, I'm not her—and that's exactly why my clients heal. Hello, Beautiful! Monica here, and today, Abigail and I are diving straight into the messy, magical, and often misunderstood world of spirit babies, soul contracts, and the radical honesty required on your fertility journey. This isn't a fluffy conversation about dates and genders—this is about the deeper layers of healing, the work that either sets you free or keeps you stuck in a desperate cycle of searching for answers outside yourself. I share real client stories that will make you rethink what “empowerment” actually looks like, from the woman who rewrote her soul contract and turned her health around, to the one who slipped into outsourcing her power and missed the point of her own growth. Abigail and I peel back the curtain on why people crave black-and-white answers, when the truth is found in the gray—in your daily choices, your willingness to do the work, and your courage to face radical honesty. At the end of the day, fertility isn't just about getting pregnant. It's about reclaiming your joy, dismantling old narratives, and refusing to let desperation dictate your path. If you've ever asked for a quick fix or begged for someone to give you the “right answer,” this episode is your reminder: the only magic lies in showing up for yourself. Press play and let's get real. The worst thing isn't not becoming a mom—it's losing yourself while trying. Timestamps: 01:49 Spirit babies, soul contracts, and stories about when spirit baby readings do more harm than good.  06:40 The IVF desperation and the real reason clients get stuck after intuitive readings.  12:00 We explain why you'll never get a sugar-coated yes from us or the answers you want to hear. 18:00 Why lack of joy is a major fertility block, plus learning how to show up authentically in your fertility journey.  23:10 Understanding that the ultimate goal of this fertility journey is to show up for yourself with or without kids. 30:17 What no one tells you about soul contracts and spirit babies' choices.  32:05 How to use readings for empowerment and without losing your own intuition.  Stop outsourcing your empowerment—you are the only one who can do the work.

(Some content may not be suitable for sensitive ears.)True love requires true freedom—and that's why understanding the Sixth Commandment is so important. Hey it's Cathy and Jake, and here's another Catholic Kernel of Truth.God actually has a beautiful plan for love, marriage, and sexuality. When we understand His design, we experience real freedom and joy—the kind of love our hearts are craving.In Matthew 5, Jesus says: “You've heard it said, ‘You shall not commit adultery,' but I say to you, everyone who looks at someone with lust has already committed adultery in their heart.” This begins on what is going on inside—our hearts, our desires, the way we see other people. Jesus cares about the whole person.The reason God cares so much about sexuality is because He designed us—male and female—in perfect equality and complementarity.God made us for love in the deepest sense, so that we may be a self-gift. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says that God gave each of us a sexual identity that involves both body and soul. Sexuality is meant to be oriented toward marriage and family, where that love can be total, faithful, fruitful, and free. (CCC 2331-2334)And all baptized Christians are called to chastity—not just single people or priests, but everyone. It looks different depending on your state of life: celibacy, faithfulness in marriage, or living chastity as a widow or widower. Chastity involves self-mastery and the cardinal virtue of temperance. (CCC 2337-2349)Lust is the opposite of love. Love gives; lust takes. Lust sees someone as an object instead of a person.The Catechism points out that sins of pornography, fornication, adultery, and masturbation are ways we can misuse God's gift of sexuality. They isolate sexual pleasure from its real purpose: love and life together. (CCC 2396)The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life.” The Catechism goes on to explain that those with same-sex attraction must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Same-sex attraction is a cross and those who choose to live a chaste life are living out this commandment. (CCC 2357-2358)When man and woman give themselves totally to each other in marriage, they become co-creators with God. Marriage has this twofold purpose: the good of the spouses and the transmission of life.And that's why the Church teaches that contraceptives or sterilization go against God's plan—they close off the openness to life. The Church does allow for Natural Family Planning, which is discerning to space out children for just reasons. It involves engaging during certain times of a woman's cycle. (2368-2370)And just like us, some couples struggle with infertility. It's a very heavy cross, yet the Catechism says a child is always a gift, not something “owed.” Techniques like IVF, sperm and ovum donation, surrogate uterus, and artificial insemination sadly separate procreation from the loving union of husband and wife. However even if a couple can't have a biological child, God can bring incredible spiritual fruitfulness when this suffering is united to Him on the Cross. (CCC 2376-2379)So, to live this out practically, we must see people the way God sees them—as whole persons, body and soul. It means being intentional about what we look at online, how we think, and how we talk about love and marriage.And when we mess up... that's what confession is for. God isn't waiting to tear us down; He wants to restore us to freedom and joy.Here's our challenge for you this week: Ask God to help you see others—and yourself—with His eyes. Where do you need healing in the area of love and chastity?And remember, God's plan for love isn't about rules to punish you or make you feel bad about yourself; it's about freedom to love fully. He wants our hearts to be whole. 

The unavoidable question of the week: why is Jillian Michaels on CNN commenting on slavery, exactly? As it turns out, Netflix provides the answer. The three-part docuseries, Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, creeps behind the scenes of this uber-popular and uber-disturbing reality show that weirdly promoted fat-shaming while simultaneously pretending to alleviate it. As we'll discuss today, we can't shake the feeling that the biggest loser from this entire mess is all of us.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're letting Harrison in on the “girls' dinner” conversations. Women in menopause can still get pregnant?! The world's first pregnancy robot is here?!

That led us straight into the “male loneliness epidemic” (have you guys heard of this??) and what we think could actually help. Before that, we kicked things off with the best new-mom advice I ever got (professional family photos—life-changing), why I caved on Tate's first birthday party (I swore we weren't doing it), and the “Chief of Flights” parenting hack (one owns the trip there vs. the trip back). And for the fun stuff: culture-shifting marketing campaigns (Gillette basically invented leg shaving??) and a classic Bicker of the Week: is it actually legal to turn left on red?! (I had NO idea.)

Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this episode, the Docs are joined by Nicole Marchetto, MD, a physician at Shady Grove Fertility Pennsylvania, Lancaster and Chesterbrook, to talk about a topic many patients quietly wonder about—when is it time to consider a second opinion?Seeking another perspective can feel intimidating, but Dr. Marchetto explains why most fertility doctors not only understand it but actually encourage it. A second opinion can help ensure that your treatment plan is appropriate—not outdated, not extreme, and not missing opportunities for success. Sometimes a fresh set of eyes leads to new approaches that your first doctor may not have considered.Far from being adversarial, second opinions often confirm that you're on the right path—or they may reveal alternative strategies that resonate more with your goals. If recommendations differ, it may be best to follow the physician whose plan makes the most sense to you, even if that means changing practices.Bottom line: your journey deserves the best possible care, and getting another perspective can be an empowering step. This podcast was sponsored by Shady Grove Fertility.

I'm talking all about the benefits of known sperm donation with Danielle Winston of The Seed Scout @theseedscout on today's brand new episode of The Egg Whisperer Show.⁠ ⁠ When Danielle and her partner, practicing pediatrician Dr. Paige Kennedy-Winston, were looking to build their own family, they quickly realized the space of sperm banking was riddled with roadblocks for most families.⁠ ⁠ The process was highly impersonal, the anonymity and lack of diversity adding to the problem, and options seemed extremely limited. That's when Danielle and Dr. Kennedy-Winston took matters into their own hands and found their own donor. ⁠ ⁠ They got the idea for their sperm donor matchmaking concierge service, The Seed Scout, from their own first-hand experience. With Danielle's business and law background and Dr. Kennedy-Winston's pediatric experience, they made The Seed Scout a reality by taking a human-centered, ethical approach to known sperm donation that's founded on the belief that it's a basic human right to know the identity of one's donor and genetic origins.⁠ ⁠ In this conversation, Danielle and I talked all about:⁠ ⁠

Meet Rosie, who wanted to share her story even though she's still in the thick of it all and is a beautiful reminder that you don't need a happy ending to inspire others, sometimes sharing the messy middle is exactly what someone else needs to hear. Rosie thought she'd be a young mum but found herself starting her fertility journey at 28. After a heartbreaking chemical pregnancy and feeling left behind while friends had babies easily, Rosie discovered she had PCOS and wasn't ovulating regularly. From her needle phobia (shoutout to her amazing mother-in-law who does all her injections!) to unexpected parathyroid complications that threw a major curveball into her plans, Rosie's path has been anything but straightforward. Just when IVF was underway, high calcium levels revealed enlarged parathyroids requiring not one, but TWO surgeries - including the discovery of a rare fifth parathyroid! She's navigated failed OI cycles, learned the hard way about IVF expectations vs reality, and is now banking embryos with her eyes on the prize.  Thanks for sharing Rosie

Maia shares her deeply personal journey, from discovering diminished ovarian reserve in the middle of paramedic school, to undergoing IVF, to realizing how little support exists for firefighters facing fertility and family building challenges.  Now, through The Beltane Guild, Maia is helping fire departments nationwide create comprehensive reproductive health policies and offering grants to firefighters undergoing treatment.   She raises the question; can this job have an effect on our reproductive health? Firefighters are exposed to unique circumstances like stress, toxins, irregular sleep schedules and Maia has been partnering on groundbreaking research and resources to protect future generations of firefighters who see families in their futures.  For more information, visit Progyny's Podcast page and Progyny's Education page for more resources.

In this episode, Rosie Gill-Moss speaks with musician Sephine Llo (Josie) about love, loss, and the complicated road to motherhood after bereavement.Josie married fellow musician Rob just days after his stage-four cancer diagnosis. Over the next two years, they endured 30 rounds of chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and the looming reality of terminal illness—all while clinging to hope and planning for a family. Before treatment began, they froze embryos, a decision that would shape Josie's life long after Rob's death.When Rob died in hospice care, Josie was carrying their son Laurie. Years later, she returned to those frozen embryos to conceive their daughter, Connie. Now a solo parent of two, she speaks with raw honesty about postpartum depression, the judgement she faced for using embryos after loss, and the daily work of raising children who will only ever know their dad through photographs and recordings.Music threads through it all. For years Josie couldn't write a song, until she found Rob's unfinished demos and turned them into Diamond Fall—a posthumous album released on what would have been their tenth anniversary. She describes it as a conversation with Rob, and a way to keep his voice alive for their children.This conversation touches on:Managing illness, work, and finances as cancer takes over a householdIVF after bereavement and the emotions of parenting children conceived with a late partnerThe silences of grief: “I didn't laugh for years”Dating again after monumental lossContent warning: Includes discussion of terminal cancer, IVF after partner death, hospice care, suicidal thoughts, and solo parent grief.If you're a solo parent, bereaved partner, or navigating medically complex grief, Josie's story may resonate—and remind you you're not alone.

[original post here] #1: Isn't it possible that embryos are alive, or have personhood, or are moral patients? Most IVF involves getting many embryos, then throwing out the ones that the couple doesn't need to implant. If destroying embryos were wrong, then IVF would be unethical - and embryo selection, which might encourage more people to do IVF, or to maximize the number of embryos they get from IVF, would be extra unethical. I think a default position would be that if you believe humans are more valuable than cows, and cows more valuable than bugs - presumably because humans are more conscious/intelligent/complex/thoughtful/have more hopes and dreams/experience more emotions - then in that case embryos, which have less of a brain and nervous system even than bugs, should be less valuable still. One reason to abandon this default position would be if you believe in souls or some other nonphysical basis for personhood. Then maybe the soul would enter the embryo at conception. I think even here, it's hard to figure out exactly what you're saying - the soul clearly isn't doing very much, in the sense of experiencing things, while it's in the embryo. But it seems like God is probably pretty attached to souls, and maybe you don't want to mess with them while He's watching. In any case, all I can say is that this isn't my metaphysics. But most people in the comments took a different tactic, arguing that we should give embryos special status (compared to cows and bugs) because they had the potential to grow into a person. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/my-responses-to-three-concerns-from
