Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/10-things-to-avoid-if-youre-trying-to-conceive Last year in the United States a baby was born every 8 seconds. That‘s roughly 3.8 Million babies born last year alone! You don't have to be a fertility doctor to know what that means. Millions of people just like you were trying to conceive. Research tells us that most couples conceive within six cycles of timed intercourse, but many others (roughly 10% of couples) are struggling with fertility. Here's the funny thing about what I do. I want to teach you how NOT to be my patient. Of course, there are exceptions to that statement. But in general, I'd much prefer to share with you what I've learned about preparing for pregnancy in hopes that it makes your journey to parenthood easier. A journey that goes without needing to see me. Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website Do you have questions about IVF, and what to expect? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Verse 79 is TTC's main place where Lao Tzu frames “score-keeping” with “faith-keeping”. So in this verse we look at the various ways we injure ourselves (and our futures) with strict accounting of alleged slights we see someone giving us. The resentments build until one of two things happen: A complete breakdown of communication, or, the moment when someone stops practicing keeping-score and instead practices keeping-faith.

In today's episode, I interview my beautiful client Damaris, who shares her fertility journey from experiencing two miscarriages to becoming naturally pregnant at 37 through a holistic approach to her health. Her story involves underlying issues with chronic bacterial vaginosis, compromised gut health which led to hormonal imbalances. Her story emphasizes the importance of personalized care, self-advocacy, and a comprehensive approach to fertility that goes beyond traditional medical treatments. Through patience, targeted interventions, and trusting the process, Damaris was able to overcome her fertility challenges and finally achieve a healthy natural pregnancy at 37. Episode Highlights: Damaris, an ICU nurse, opens up about her journey through two miscarriages and now being 20 weeks pregnant. She reveals how chronic bacterial vaginosis was dismissed by doctors but deeply affected her fertility. A surprising gut health discovery changes everything; learn how she uncovered hidden issues and what helped her heal. From being clueless about cycle tracking to mastering her fertile window, Damaris shares the eye-opening lessons that transformed her understanding of her body. Facing low AMH and considering IVF, she found unexpected encouragement to explore natural fertility methods.

If you're TTC and relying on LH strips and having sex every single day, this episode is your wake-up call. I'm breaking down why that strategy is exhausting and could actually be hurting your fertility by spiking cortisol, lowering progesterone, and throwing off your hormones. Instead, I walk you through a more supportive approach, focusing on the real root causes like blood sugar, gut health, liver support, and inflammation. You'll learn what your body actually needs to feel safe enough to conceive—without wasting time on fertility hacks that don't work.Chapters in this episode:00:00 Debunking Fertility Myths04:54 Understanding the Fertile Window09:52 Optimizing Fertility Beyond TimingWays to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

Read the full show notes: https://www.draimee.org/when-it-comes-to-your-fertility-what-is-fact-vs-fiction I know there are a lot of fertility myths out there, and some can be downright perplexing if you're trying to do everything you can to have a successful pregnancy. And, when you've been a fertility doctor for a while, let me tell you, you will hear it all. So in this episode, I'm tackling TWENTY of the most common fertility myths in a little thing I like to call “Fertility: Fact or Fiction.” I love talking about these types of things because once you know the truth, you also have a better idea of what may be happening in your own body. I think most people now realize that sperm does in fact matter when you're TTC. But, do you need both of your fallopian tubes? Is marijuana safe when you're TTC? Can someone born without a uterus have a uterine transplant? Is an ovarian cyst something to be concerned about? Of course, these questions matter, and I want everyone to feel comfortable asking their doctor about them (and for answers to the above: no, no, yes, no). Do you have questions about IVF, and what to expect? Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class. The next live class call is on Monday, June 16, 2025 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom.

The Waiting Well - Infertility, Faith-based Encouragement, Trying to Conceive, Fertility
Could hidden infections be standing in the way of your pregnancy success? In this episode, we explore why vaginal microbiome testing is a game changer for fertility. You'll learn how imbalances like bacterial vaginosis, ureaplasma, and chronic yeast, even without symptoms can impact implantation, egg and sperm quality, and increase miscarriage risk. We also cover how your gut and vaginal microbiomes are connected, why both partners should be tested, and how to take a more holistic, targeted approach to support natural conception or IVF success. This episode is for you: You're struggling with fertility and suspect hidden infections or imbalances in your vaginal microbiome. You're preparing for IVF and want to improve your chances by optimizing your vaginal and gut microbiomes. You're ready to take a science-backed, practitioner-guided approach to fertility and overall reproductive health. In this episode you'll learn: Why the vaginal microbiome plays a crucial role in conception, implantation, and pregnancy maintenance How silent infections like BV or ureaplasma, even without symptom,s can impact egg quality, sperm motility, and embryo success The surprising link between your gut health and vaginal health and why gut testing may be the first step Why testing both partners matters (and how infections can silently pass between you) What to look for in a vaginal microbiome test and how a practitioner can help you interpret and act on your results --- RESOURCES
Have you heard about the role of the subconscious mind and how it relates to your overall health and fertility? How do emotions like fear affect your body, and what can you do if you're living in a constant state of what if? The mind-body connection is so powerful and something that is not to be underestimated when TTC.On today's episode I am speaking with Dr Katie Rose who will help you understand how to align your body and mind in the best way possible when you're trying to conceive.By the time you finish listening, you'll find out: What is the mind-body connection and why is it so important when struggling with fertility?How will emotions show up physically in your body?Katie's 3-step method to supporting your body, mind + spirit while TTCDr. Katie Rose is a licensed naturopathic physician, hypnotherapist and fertility coach who has helped hundreds of couples overcome infertility.

In this deeply emotional and brutally honest episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we speak with Hannah, who courageously shares her powerful story of experiencing multiple pregnancy losses — including an ectopic pregnancy, a second-trimester stillbirth, and a missed miscarriage. This episode explores the often unspoken realities of baby loss, miscarriage grief, and the trauma of stillbirth at 20 weeks, while also offering compassionate insight into the emotional and physical impact of losing a baby. From the shock of a sudden labour to the heartbreak of leaving hospital without her daughter Olive, Hannah's story is one that every person navigating pregnancy after loss, infertility struggles, or grief after miscarriage needs to hear.
Today's episode explores the critical role of a healthy uterine and vaginal microbiome when preparing for pregnancy and trying to conceive (TTC). Despite mounting evidence linking microbiome balance to improved fertility, successful implantation, and better pregnancy outcomes, most OB/GYN offices still overlook routine testing and proactive care in this area. I dive into how conditions like chronic endometritis and Ureaplasma infection can silently undermine your fertility, often going undetected in standard evaluations and contributing to unexplained infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss. I'll then share how advanced microbiome testing paired with a functional treatment protocol in my practice can finally provide answers and targeted solutions for a healthy pregnancy. Episode Highlights: The difference between the vaginal and uterine microbiome, and why both matter for reproductive success How chronic endometritis and ureaplasma infections can silently sabotage your fertility, even when you have no symptoms Why standard doctor's visits and routine tests often miss these underlying issues How advanced microbiome testing along with holistic fertility protocols can finally give you answers and a clear path forward The importance of biofilm disruptors and supporting microbiome before, during and after treatment matters for preventing recurrent infection If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below.

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!

In this powerful episode, we're diving into a sneaky but common subconscious block on the fertility journey: the fear of being the first to get pregnant among other TTC family/friends.

This will help you release guilt, comparison, and feeling like you have to be loyal to the "tribe". Remember your pregnancy doesn't take away from anyone else's -its just proof of what's possible!

L'intelligence artificielle la plus célèbre du moment, ChatGPT, fait face à une équation économique de plus en plus complexe. Depuis son lancement, les coûts d'infrastructure colossaux pèsent lourd sur la balance. Déjà en février 2023, OpenAI lançait un premier abonnement payant à 20 dollars par mois, baptisé ChatGPT Plus, pour soulager ses finances. Mais cela ne suffira pas. Avec près de 5 milliards de dollars de dépenses prévues en 2024, pour des revenus estimés à 3,7 milliards, l'entreprise envisage désormais d'augmenter progressivement le tarif de l'abonnement, qui pourrait atteindre 44 dollars hors taxes d'ici cinq ans – soit environ 50 dollars TTC.Face à ce déséquilibre budgétaire, une nouvelle formule radicale serait à l'étude : l'abonnement à vie. L'objectif ? Générer rapidement des liquidités importantes, en complément de l'offre actuelle, qui comprend un accès gratuit limité, le plan Plus à 20 dollars, et un abonnement Pro haut de gamme à 200 dollars par mois. Une formule hebdomadaire pourrait aussi séduire les curieux ou les utilisateurs ponctuels. Mais l'abonnement à vie pose question. Pour OpenAI, cela signifie un engagement à long terme sur un service dont les coûts sont appelés à fluctuer, notamment pour les modèles les plus puissants comme le modèle o1. Côté utilisateurs, investir dans un outil technologique dont l'écosystème évolue à grande vitesse peut sembler risqué. D'autant que la concurrence s'organise : certains acteurs comme DeepSeek cassent déjà les prix, avec une API à 0,14 dollar pour un million de jetons, contre 7,50 dollars chez OpenAI. Un signal que la bataille de l'IA ne fait que commencer. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
In today's episode, I interview Dr. Christy Lane and Laura Macdonald, the founders of Flora Fertility, an innovative insurtech platform aimed at providing affordable and accessible fertility insurance for Gen-Z and millennial women. The company offers a proactive insurance model that covers fertility treatments and supports women through personalized lifestyle interventions.

Today, Ali is talking to Lana Manikowski, a fellow Chicagoan, a certified life coach and the author of "So Now What?" -- a roadmap to help you create a life you love without the children you always dreamed about. Lana tells Ali about her years-long infertility journey, starting with an "unexplained infertility" diagnosis and 7 IUIs. Lana explains moving on to IVF, traveling to get treatment in Colorado, doing several rounds of IVF, and how she and her husband decided to stop treatment and embrace their lives without children. "So many women are left to navigate this alone," she says. "Here I was, left to figure out who I was gonna be in my life without motherhood. And there was no one there--not even a referral for a therapist." Lana has made it her goal to help other women navigate childlessness after infertility, from her book to her advocacy to The Other's Day brunch, which takes place each year in Chicago around Mother's Day.

Today Ali is talking to Libby Wicks, a surrogacy mama who went through a five-plus year struggle to have her baby girl. Libby talks about her not one, but two ectopic pregnancies, her emergency tube removal, and being diagnosed (wrongly, she would find out much later) with Asherman's Syndrome. She also talks about IVF and how her infertility journey affected her mental health. "I was suffering from anxiety," she says. "There were many days I wasn't able to leave the house. I wasn't able to work, and it was absolutely devastating. I was a shell of myself. And I want other women to know that that is actually normal." Libby talks about pivoting to surrogacy and finding NewGen Families, which is known for their thoughtful matches and their empathetic and expert care when it comes to both surrogates and future parents. She talks about bonding with her surrogate, the group text she had with her husband and her surrogate; and after going through so much heartache, finally bringing home her baby girl.For more, follow them on IG @newgenfamiliesOr go to: https://newgenfamilies.comTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Infertility; TTC; ectopic pregnancies; trauma; IVF; normalizing the conversation around ART; anxiety and depression; Asherman's syndrome; surrogacySupport 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!

We're diving into how perfectionism and emotional stress can affect fertility - and why letting go might be the key when you're trying to conceive. If you've been diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), or Poor Egg Quality—and you tend to over-research, overanalyze, or feel like you need to “do everything right”—this episode is for you. We're diving into how perfectionism may be quietly impacting your fertility. Chronic stress, control, and the constant pressure to get it all right can take a toll on your hormones, disrupt ovulation, and affect egg quality. You'll learn how high cortisol levels and nervous system dysregulation keep your body stuck in survival mode—and what to do instead. We share powerful mindset shifts, nervous system regulation tools, and practical steps from our Fab Fertile Method to help you reduce overwhelm, restore balance, and reconnect with your body. Whether you're planning for IVF, navigating loss, or just feeling stuck, this episode will give you the insight and tools to move forward with more calm, clarity, and confidence. This episode is for you if: ✨ You've been diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), or Poor Egg Quality ✨ You're navigating recurrent pregnancy loss and wondering what's next ✨ You're planning an IVF retrieval or transfer and want to optimize success ✨ You tend to over-research, overanalyze, and feel the pressure to “do everything right” ✨ You struggle with stress, control, or perfectionism on your fertility journey In this episode you'll learn: How perfectionism and chronic stress impact hormones, ovulation, and egg quality The link between adrenal health, AMH levels, and your fertility timeline Why over-researching and trying to “do it all” can create emotional burnout Simple mindset tools to calm your nervous system and reduce TTC anxiety Practical strategies to shift from control to trust on your fertility journey --- RESOURCES
Have you ever had a day so messy, so unexpected, it made you question everything—especially your chances of becoming a mother?You're doing all the things. The supplements. The acupuncture. The perfectly-timed sex. And still—no baby. Then life throws you another curveball and suddenly you're not just doubting your fertility… you're doubting if anything in your life is working at all.This week's episode is a sacred reminder that life doesn't need to look “put together” for miracles to happen.Carolina opens up about a real-life disaster—leaks, mold, asbestos—and how she chose to walk through it with grace, not control. She shares why believing “everything is happening for me, not to me” isn't just a cute affirmation—it's a womb-healing reality shift.Here's the truth: When you demand perfection—of your life, your cycle, your body—you create pressure. Pressure closes the womb. But grace? Grace opens it.You're not broken. You're not behind.
