Podcasts about Miscarriage

In this episode, my ATL Loss Mama friend, Lara, tells us about her sweet 1st son Malek who passed at 28 weeks. She has since had her 2nd son Sami who is turning 1. Lara has a rare autoimmune disorder which could possibly play a part in her pregnancies. However, there just isn't much research or information out there. We discuss warning signs, not knowing what they were, lack of information during pregnancy and what that means for subsequent ones. We hope this shines some light for anyone dealing with similar disease and wanting to bring home living babies. Find Lara on IG at @lara.aqel Find your loss posse on LossLink.com! *************************************NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

In this powerful and deeply emotional episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we reconnect with author, teacher and IVF warrior Laura Gallagher – also known as @RoboMummy – as she opens up about her ongoing fertility journey, life after loss, and the healing process after multiple miscarriages, including two traumatic ectopic pregnancies. Laura first joined us back in 2021 to discuss the release of her children's book Robo Babies and her experience with IVF to conceive her son. Since then, her journey has taken many unexpected turns – from natural conceptions she never thought possible, to heartbreaking losses, emergency surgery abroad, and finding healing through therapy, spirituality, and radical self-reflection. In this episode, Laura shares: The emotional and physical toll of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage Navigating fertility challenges after IVF – and what happens when it doesn't work The impact of baby loss on mental health and marriage Finding comfort through manifestation, energy healing, and spiritual perspective The pressure of trying to conceive again while parenting after infertility How she's learned to live with acceptance and even gratitude after loss Open conversations with children about IVF, grief, and resilience This episode is full of raw honesty, emotional growth, and comforting insight for anyone facing infertility, pregnancy loss, or the pressure of expanding a family after IVF. Laura's spiritual lens and refreshing vulnerability will speak deeply to those who've ever felt “left behind” on the path to parenthood.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Heart and Hustle Podcast, your favorite besties get raw and real about one of the most sensitive topics a friend can face: supporting someone through a miscarriage. Whether you've been there yourself or simply want to show up well for a friend who's hurting, we're giving you the no-BS guide to being the kind of friend who truly cares — from what to say (and definitely NOT say), to how to check in weeks or months later when the rest of the world has moved on. We'll walk you through thoughtful ways to show up — like remembering their due date, marking Mother's Day, or dropping dinner at their door without making them decide what they need — and we'll also call out the phrases and faux pas that can hurt more than help (spoiler: “at least…” has no place here). Plus, we're sharing how to navigate sharing your own pregnancy news with a friend who's experienced loss with empathy, tact, and love. Above all, this conversation is a reminder that the most important thing you can do is simply show up — imperfectly, wholeheartedly, and with a heart that says, “I'm here, and I love you.” --------------------------------- Imposter Syndrome Freebie: https://theheartuniversity.com/imposter  --------------------------------- Website Templates: www.theheartuniversity.com/website-templates --------------------------------- Check Out Our Course Library: https://theheartuniversity.com/courses  --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theheartuniversitychannel?si=33lzxpBA9UxKlgTE --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. --------------------------------- “PODCAST10” for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop --------------------------------- Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

Investigative journalists⁠ ⁠Mandy  Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ — and attorney⁠ ⁠Eric Bland⁠⁠ — discuss the power of victim impact statements in the Bryan Kohberger case.  Kohberger was charged in 2022 shortly after the horrific killings of four Idaho college students, whom he stabbed to death while they slept. His victims' loved ones used the power of their voices to let the court — and the public — know how many lives have been affected by this one man's depravity. Mandy, Liz and Eric discuss the importance of these victim impact statements and — in a case like this one — who these statements are for... Also on today's show, a discussion about the Florence County Sheriff's Office's arrest of a woman who miscarried at 18 weeks and the agency's menacing response to a journalist after she requested the police report on the investigation.

We're diving into the top functional and conventional tests to consider after the second trimester or late pregnancy loss, especially if you've been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). If you've had a second trimester loss or late pregnancy loss after 20 weeks and been told “everything looks normal,”this episode is for you. We dive into what's often overlooked in conventional care and how a functional fertility approach can help uncover underlying imbalances that impact conception, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes. In this episode we cover 7 categories of testing to consider after late loss especially if you have low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, autoimmune issues, recurrent miscarriage, or unexplained infertility. You'll learn: The top clotting and thrombophilia markers to test (including Factor V Leiden and antiphospholipid antibodies) Which inflammatory and immune markers (hs-CRP, ANA, cytokines, NK cells) are often missed and why they matter How the vaginal microbiome and hidden infections like ureaplasma can cause second-trimester loss The role of chronic stress, adrenal hormones and the HPA axis in pregnancy outcomes Why a comprehensive blood chemistry panel can reveal nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances that are missed by conventional labs Key methylation and genetic SNPs (like MTHFR) that impact detoxification, clotting and hormone metabolism The impact of gut health and stool testing on immune tolerance, estrogen balance and inflammation We'll also explain how this whole body functional lens can guide your next steps in preconception planning, whether you're trying again naturally or preparing for IVF. This episode is for you if: You've experienced a loss after 14 weeks of pregnancy and are seeking deeper understanding and support. You want to explore both conventional and functional medicine approaches to uncover underlying causes.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we sit down with Indra, a Glasgow-based theatre maker, to explore the raw and unspoken reality of pregnancy loss at a young age. Indra shares her personal journey of grief, isolation, and ultimately, transformation through art. At just 13 weeks into an unplanned pregnancy, Indra experienced a silent miscarriage — a traumatic event made even more difficult by her youth, lack of romantic support, and societal stigma. In this candid conversation, she opens up about the lack of validation and support, particularly for young people navigating pregnancy loss outside of traditional family structures. We also discuss her new one-woman show, "Float", debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe as part of the Made in Scotland showcase. Using space metaphors and powerful storytelling, Indra reclaims her grief and invites the audience to see pregnancy loss through a new lens — one of love, maternal identity, and unspoken pain. What You'll Hear in This Episode: The experience of miscarriage at 13 weeks and how the medical system responded Why grief looks different when you're not in a long-term relationship How societal expectations invalidate the experiences of young mothers The emotional and administrative "grief load" no one talks about How Indra turned trauma into healing by writing a theatre show How the show “Float” explores grief through the metaphor of a failed space mission Navigating dating and future motherhood after loss Building a support system and the importance of grief communities About “Float”: Set against the backdrop of space exploration, Float tells the story of a failed mission and an invisible loss. With projection, storytelling, and poetic metaphors, Indra reclaims her experience of miscarriage and challenges societal narratives around what makes a mother.

Nobody has a personality anymore. At least, that's what Em Vernem thinks, and she's not alone. In writer Freya India's Substack Girls, India critiques the diagnostic lense through which we see the world, and it's seriously blown our minds. The Salt Path, a heartbreaking 2018 memoir adapted into a hugely successful movie and marketed as 'unflinchingly true', is making headlines this week. Because the truth seems to have been stretched. So what's with memoirs where 'recollections may vary'? And does it really matter? Plus, Jessie has some heartbreaking news she wants to share. And our recommendations, including the show that held Mia's attention for 10 hours, a stunning novel by a NYT bestseller, and an action movie Em thinks everyone should watch.

Nearly six years after her son Barrett went to heaven, Katy reflects on the ways his short life continues to make an impact.Katy shares how her grief has evolved over time—from the early days of guilt and resistance to joy, to a place of acceptance where sorrow and hope coexist.

If you've had early miscarriage before 12 weeks, especially more than once, and been told everything looks “normal,” or you've been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, this episode is for you. We're going to talk about what's often overlooked in early term pregnancy loss: gut health, immune dysfunction, clotting disorders, nutrient deficiencies, and hormone imbalance from a conventional and functional medicine perspective. In this episode, you'll learn: Why progesterone, thyroid function and adrenal health are key to early pregnancy The role of gut dysbiosis, inflammation, and food sensitivities in recurrent miscarriage What comprehensive bloodwork reveals - including homocysteine, hsCRP, ANA, and more Functional strategies to support detoxification, reduce stress, and improve implantation How immune triggers and vaginal microbiome imbalances increase miscarriage risk While the focus of this episode is on the female side of fertility it's not to be overlooked to look at the male partner's health. Poor sperm quality, oxidative stress, gut infections, and DNA fragmentation can all contribute to miscarriage, poor embryo development,t and implantation failure. Just as we look at gut health, inflammation, and functional bloodwork in women,n we need to apply this lens to the male partner. If you haven't looked at semen analysis or functional testing for men, be sure to check out our Male Factor Fertility episode for strategies to optimize sperm health and improve pregnancy outcomes. How To Address Men's Reproductive Health (It's a myth sperm doesn't decline with age!) - https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/how-to-address-mens-reproductive-health-it-s-a-myth-sperm-doesnt-decline-with-age?_pos=1&_sid=689d505e3&_ss=r This episode is for you if: You have experienced a miscarriage before 12–14 weeks of pregnancy and want to understand what might be behind it. You're seeking both conventional and functional insights to support healing and improve your chances in future pregnancies. You want actionable lifestyle, diet, and testing strategies to help your body prepare for a healthy pregnancy.

Hayley, Garrett and Deepak consider the painful experiences of infertility and miscarriage, and how the Lord walks with us in our grief. 

In this episode of the Conscious Fertility Podcast, Dr. Lorne Brown welcomes Dr. Lora Shahine, a reproductive endocrinologist, author, and advocate for integrated fertility care. They explore recurrent pregnancy loss, male fertility, age-related factors, mind-body medicine, sperm quality, IVF strategy, and nutrition. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Shahine offers practical, evidence-informed insights while advocating for a holistic and individualized approach to fertility and wellness. She reminds us that real healing comes from knowledge, support, and letting go of blame.Key Takeaways:Recurrent miscarriage is often linked to embryo genetics—and sperm plays a larger role than many realize.Not all IVF protocols are created equal: age, egg quality, and uterine receptivity must be individualized.Mind-body tools, stress regulation, and emotional support are essential to whole-person fertility care.Nutrition matters—but shame-based, restrictive advice does more harm than good.Key supplements like CoQ10, vitamin D, and a good prenatal can support egg and sperm health.Dr. Lora Shahine's Bio:Dr. Lora Shahine is a reproductive endocrinologist, author, speaker, and educator dedicated to breaking the stigma around infertility and miscarriage. She's a partner at Pacific NW Fertility, teaches at the University of Washington, and shares evidence-based fertility insights with a global audience through her books, social media, and podcast. With a background in OBGYN and fellowship training at Stanford, she blends cutting-edge science with compassionate care to support patients in building their families.Where to find Dr. Lora Shahine:Website: https://drlorashahine.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlorashahine/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drlorashahineYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/drlorashahineBooks: https://drlorashahine.com/books How to connect to Lorne Brown online and in person (Vancouver, BC)Acubalance.ca book virtual or in person conscious work sessions with Dr. Lorne Brown Lornebrown.comConscious hacks and tools to optimize your fertility by Dr. Lorne Brown:https://acubalance.ca/conscious-work/Download a free copy of the Acubalance Fertility Diet & Recipes and a copy of the ebook 5 Ways to Maximize Your Chances of Getting Pregnant from Acubalance.caConnect with Lorne and the podcast on Instagram:@acubalancewellnesscentre

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. This episode is for you if: You've experienced miscarriage or implantation failure and wonder if a clotting issue like thrombophilia could be the missing link. Your bloodwork is “normal,” but you suspect inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or hormone imbalances are being overlooked. You're preparing for IVF or trying to conceive naturally and want a proactive, functional approach to reduce clotting risk and support implantation. 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

In this episode, Dr. Aimee goes live to answer your fertility questions, covering topics like DNA fragmentation, thyroid health, PCOS, embryo transfer timing, and more. 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?

Ep. 191: This episode includes discussion of infertility and pregnancy loss—please listen with care. Today's episode is a special conversation with Dr. Molly Burrets, a clinical psychologist and professor at USC, about the deeply personal and often invisible experience of reproductive grief. Dr. Molly struggled with infertility herself, facing miscarriage, a TFMR, and ultimately pursuing IVF abroad. Having made it through to the other side, she shares what these experiences taught her—about grief, resilience, and what it means to be truly supported. Anyone navigating infertility, pregnancy loss, or supporting someone through it will get a lot from this conversation. ____________________ Leave Me a Message - click here!

In this powerful episode, Courtney sits down with Hannah, a client from The Waiting Well Framework, to share her raw and redemptive story of loss, healing, and surrender. After walking through the heartbreak of miscarriage, Hannah found herself saying she trusted God—but still clinging tightly to her own timeline for motherhood. Inside the framework, she experienced a breakthrough: realizing that true peace doesn't come from having control... it comes from releasing it. Listen in as Hannah vulnerably shares:

On this episode, Ali talks to Julia Midwinter, a Fertility and Pregnancy Mindset Coach who supports women struggling to conceive or who are pregnant after IVF or miscarriage. Julia shares her own infertility journey, including her diagnosis of endometriosis, her five year journey to conceive her son through IVF, and her two miscarriages. She talks about ovarian cysts, fertility acupuncture, and how she felt navigating all of the above. She also talks about what she learned from her own infertility coach, and why she decided to become one. "So many of us have experienced the elation of having a positive pregnancy test, and then the devastation of it being taken away," Julia says. "However lonely you feel, there are so many other people experiencing the same." For more info, go to www.pineapplecoaching.co.ukFollow on IG: @pineapplefertilitycoaching TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Endometriosis; IVF; miscarriage; pregnancy after loss; mental health; secondary infertility; fertility coaching; acupuncture; ovarian cystsEPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!
