We're diving deep into thrombophilia panel and why this matters for miscarriage or implantation failure You've been told it's “just bad luck” after another miscarriage or another IVF round with perfect embryos that didn't implant. But what if your body is trying to tell you something deeper? In this episode, we uncover the critical role of thrombophilia an often-overlooked clotting issue in recurrent pregnancy loss and failed implantation. We'll walk through what should be included in a full thrombophilia panel, what research reveals about its connection to miscarriage, and how a functional approach digs deeper into inflammation, methylation, estrogen balance, and more.

In this episode you'll learn: The link between thrombophilia and recurrent miscarriage, implantation failure, and pregnancy complications like preeclampsia What's included in a complete thrombophilia panel and which tests are often overlooked in conventional fertility care How inflammation markers like hs-CRP, homocysteine, and fibrinogen affect fertility and clotting risk The role of MTHFR mutations, poor methylation, and high estrogen in increasing clotting and miscarriage risk How a functional approach addresses clotting risk through gut health, hormone balance, and personalized nutrient support --- RESOURCES

She's joined by Paula the Producer and takes additional questions from viewers tuning in live! Here are the listener-submitted questions featured in this episode: 1. Sarah (39) from Maryland wrote in to ask: After four early pregnancy losses from unassisted conceptions, and now with four frozen euploid embryos, could DNA fragmentation still be a factor in causing miscarriage? 2. Stephanie (41) from California is wondering: Her doctor suggested doing a second egg retrieval and a frozen embryo transfer in the same week, using an embryo from the first retrieval. Is this really possible, and what are the pros and cons of doing both in one cycle? 3. Alex (38) from England asks Dr. Aimee: With a frozen embryo transfer coming up, does she really need to stop her favorite high-intensity workouts like Hyrox and Barry's Bootcamp? 4. Rebecca (37) from the United Kingdom is asking: After her TSH spiked unexpectedly to 27, can she still proceed with egg retrieval and freeze any good-quality embryos now, even if she needs to delay the transfer until her thyroid is back in range? 5. Lindsay (33) from Rhode Island wrote to ask: With a high antral follicle count but low mature egg yield, what else can she do (beyond lifestyle changes and supplements) to improve egg maturity during IVF? 6. Fab (37) from Australia wonders: After years of endometriosis, multiple surgeries, and one failed IVF cycle with no successful transfers, what can she do differently or consider for her upcoming round? 7. Elise (38) from Oregon wrote in with this question: She experienced intense pregnancy-like symptoms, like breast soreness, cramps, and dizziness, during failed transfers and unmedicated cycles. Is it possible for an embryo to cause these symptoms without actually implanting?

We're digging into how to prepare for a successful embryo transfer. You've cleaned up your diet, taken all the right supplements, and maybe even had a few rounds of IUI or IVF. But if implantation keeps failing, or you're dealing with low AMH, poor egg quality, or recurrent miscarriage - there's more going on. What if the issue isn't just your hormone levels or egg count… but something hidden like the vaginal or seminal microbiome, your gut health or undetected inflammation? In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally we're looking at the often overlooked factors that are silently sabotaging your chances of getting pregnant and how functional testing and targeted support can give you answers. This episode is for you if: You've had a failed transfer, early miscarriage, or are prepping for IVF and want to understand how inflammation, microbiome, and hormone metabolism affect implantation. You've never looked into gut health, vaginal/seminal microbiome, or food sensitivities—but suspect something deeper is going on. You're ready to explore functional testing and personalized strategies to optimize your environment for egg quality, embryo health, and implantation success. In this episode you'll learn: Why the vaginal and seminal microbiome are key players in implantation and early pregnancy success. The most effective tests to identify hidden microbial imbalances in both partners. How to use targeted protocol to shift an unhealthy microbiome. The surprising ways the male microbiome can affect embryo quality and trigger inflammation in the uterus. A step-by-step functional strategy to optimize your microbiome before IVF or IUI. --- RESOURCES

This moment wasn’t just a pivot — it was a reckoning. As a woman of faith, Kaitlyn recognized that her experience was not an anomaly; it was the direct result of restrictive reproductive policies in a post-Roe America.

On the Secret Witch Show today our guest is Siân Marie Pilkington. Siân is The Wild Mama who has raised her babies and has landed shakti-based, goddess-devoted, and in service to the taboos of blood, birth, sexuality and death. A queer celt, Magdalene, radical birth worker, herbalist, and ceremonialist, she guides femmes back to the Great Mother, blending primal intelligence with embodied, Earth-honoring magic.  Siân now works purposefully to decolonize the rites of passage we've been taught to fear, reclaiming birth, postpartum, eros, and endings as sacred. Mentoring doulas and space holders in altered states, ecstatic birth, and collaborative community care, her work is a love letter to those ready to remember, rewild, and bring initiations home. In this beautiful episode about death we explore Siân's sacred and unique perspective around miscarriage as a natural, ancient healing ‘rite of passage' - rather than the taboo, over-clinicalised, sanitised, dissociative experience it can be created as by our world.  Sharing the healing transformation she was able to reclaim from her own miscarriage, and the ancient wisdom passed down from elders, Siân shines a light on the interconnectedness of grief and initiation - and the role of ritual and ceremony in alchemy.  Providing practical advice on holistic practices, herbs and remedies to support healing, she illuminates the powerful remedy that can be found (for us all) in learning how to see and hear ourselves and share our stories - touching on shame, rage and grief - and how the witch can help heal the societal avoidance of death and grief. What You'll Learn from this Episode: Miscarriage is over-sanitised in our patriarchal culture - which has it commonly not seen as the significant ‘peak experience' and transformative rite of passage that it can be, similar to live childbirth and other life transitions Miscarriage can be a deeply emotional and spiritual journey where we learn how to meet ourselves, face and process intense emotions, including grief and loss - and even pleasure - yet it is also often seen as ‘taboo' and shameful Left alone, and if we can allow ourselves to sit patiently, whilst allowing everything to move through us, the body has a natural wisdom in how to process miscarriage - and we can attune to our bodies to navigate this.  We are broken in the process - we are giving birth to death - and, often, it is also the path to reclaiming our wisdom. If we have had an over-clinicalised miscarriage, we can still journey with reclaiming this rite of passage - this threshold - through ritual and ceremony, reclaiming parts of ourselves that have felt lost to this process. Telling our story - and being seen and held in sisterhood - is a deeply crucial step in our healing journey, for personal closure. Sharing it with others also offers a remedy for them, too. We are remedies for those like us.

The Shocking Truth About "Unexplained" Pregnancy LossWhat if I told you that up to 20% of recurrent pregnancy losses aren't actually unexplained—they're just undiagnosed?In this episode, I share the heartbreaking story of my patient who endured FOUR consecutive miscarriages. Every single test came back "normal"—chromosomes, hormones, anatomy—everything. Then we discovered her immune system was literally attacking her pregnancies.Hi!

Hey Heal Squad! In Part 2 of our powerful chat with digital creator and mom-of-one Rebecca Zamolo, we dive into the emotional aftermath that no one prepares you for. Rebecca gets honest about what it was like to finally get pregnant after years of IVF and surgery—only to be met with anxiety, grief, and PTSD instead of the joy she expected. From high-risk pregnancy fears to the moment she almost quit YouTube altogether, this episode explores what happens when your dream comes true… but healing still hasn't arrived. We also talk about miscarriage, the pressure to show up for millions online while breaking inside, and how she and her husband made the decision to grow their family via surrogacy. Rebecca shares what she's learned about letting go of control, navigating grief, and how to prepare emotionally for baby #2 when your heart's still healing from baby #1. This one's for anyone who's ever had to keep hoping, even when it hurts. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS:  Healing after IVF takes more than a pregnancy. Even after a successful round, Rebecca still faced anxiety, grief, and PTSD from her previous loss. Emotional healing doesn't automatically follow physical outcomes—it requires space, support, and time. You don't have to “stay strong” all the time. Rebecca opens up about the pressure to be positive for others while silently struggling. She reminds us that giving yourself permission to not be okay is a crucial part of real healing. It's okay to reconsider your path. After years of chasing content creation success, Rebecca nearly walked away from YouTube. Her story shows that healing may require stepping back from what no longer aligns—even if it once did. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram Website TikTok YouTube Fertility Supplements Ostomy Secrets ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Hey sisters! Today I'm welcoming back the sweet, radiant Naya—who you may remember from Episode 37. If not, let me catch you up: she shared her story of walking through miscarriage, finding healing, and getting pregnant again. It was powerful then... and this update is even more incredible! When we last spoke, Naya was 13 weeks pregnant and filled with hope. Now? Her rainbow baby is 10 months old, and she's walking us through everything that's happened since—from a surrendered pregnancy to a long and intense labor, to a really raw, faith-filled postpartum season that didn't go quite like she imagined. In this episode, she shares: How she stuck with her anti-inflammatory habits throughout pregnancy What changed when her midwife unexpectedly got injured late in pregnancy How she coped with hospital birth, long labor, and a surprise epidural Her emotional NICU experience when baby had jaundice The spiritual truth God whispered over and over: “It's not about the midwife. It's not the doctor. It's Me.” We talk about what it's like to dream big for birth… and still surrender it all to God. Plus, we offer encouragement and warnings for mamas choosing hospital birth—especially around third-trimester ultrasounds, postpartum protocols, and breastfeeding setbacks. This one is filled with raw honesty, faith, and the reminder that God is the Doctor of doctors—and He is the one who delivers. In His good Grace,  Bekah   Resources & Links: ✨ I've put together a free faith-filled booklet to help guide you through this journey. It's called Faith-Driven Fertility, and it's full of practical steps and encouragement for trusting God while supporting your body for conception.
