Send us Fan MailFertility advice can be wrong even when the person giving it meant well. In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols explores how reassurance, incomplete evaluations, and well-intentioned attempts to “save money” can sometimes delay the fertility care patients actually need.This episode looks at the emotional stress patients feel when they realize they may have lost time, the difference between bad intentions and bad outcomes, and why advice like “just keep trying,” “your labs are normal,” or “at least you can get pregnant” can sometimes miss the bigger picture.Dr. Amols also discusses when OB/GYNs can appropriately help with fertility concerns, when referral to a fertility specialist matters, and why good advice should include a reason, a timeline, a next step, and a point where the plan changes.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of 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, welcomes Rosanne Austin, founder of the Fearlessly Fertile Podcast and creator of the Fearlessly Fertile Method. In this episode, Rosanne discusses how stress, fear, shame, perfectionism, and negative self-talk can affect women struggling with infertility. Many of her clients are highly accomplished women with demanding careers who spend so much time caring for others that they forget to care for themselves emotionally. Rosanne explains how infertility can leave women feeling guilty, ashamed, or blindsided by difficulty conceiving later in life. She helps women identify the stories they tell themselves and replace fear-based thinking with self-compassion and confidence. Rosanne also discusses her eight-week online fertility mindset coaching program, in which women meet weekly in a supportive group setting to openly discuss what they truly want for their lives and families. The program teaches communication skills, emotional resilience, practical strategies, and healthier ways to handle mistakes, stress, and uncertainty during infertility treatment. Why do successful women often struggle emotionally with infertility? How can mindset coaching help during IVF and fertility treatment? What role do fear, anxiety, guilt, and shame play in infertility? How can women learn to prioritize themselves while pursuing both career success and motherhood? Rosanne shares how women can begin saying “yes, I can” while honoring their desire to build a family. Learn more through the Fearlessly Fertile podcast, website, and YouTube channel. This podcast was sponsored by the Reproductive Science Center. 

Model, entrepreneur, and new mom Analicia Chaves (aka Ana Montana on socials) joins Ali to share the fertility journey that led her to motherhood—and the mission that grew from it.Ana opens up about her experience with infertility and IVF, revealing how little she knew about fertility challenges before facing them herself. "I didn't even know infertility was a thing until it happened to me," she says. While her friends seemed to be getting pregnant naturally, Ana found herself navigating a world of uncertainty, fear, and overwhelm.She shares her struggles with endometriosis, heavy bleeding, and painful periods—symptoms she once assumed were simply a normal part of being a woman—as well as the many lifestyle changes she made while trying to conceive, from giving up alcohol and changing her diet to acupuncture, lymphatic massages, and finding support and education through TikTok's TTC community.Ana also discusses launching I AM FERTILITY, a foundation dedicated to supporting others on their family-building journeys. She shares details about the foundation's first initiative, the HOPE Grant Program, which will award two hopeful mothers $5,000 each toward IVF treatment.For more info, go to https://iamfertility.co/IG: @iamfertilitynonprofitEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of 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 doctors are joined by reproductive therapist and IVF in Your Pocket host Alexandria Geary-Stock, LCSW, to discuss one of the most emotionally challenging parts of fertility treatment: the two-week wait for pregnancy results after the embryo transfer. Together, they explore why this period feels uniquely stressful compared to other stages of IVF and how both patients and their partners can navigate the uncertainty with practical coping strategies and emotional support. What can patients do during the two-week wait after an embryo transfer to manage anxiety and uncertainty? Why is the two-week wait often harder than waiting for egg retrieval results, embryo development, or genetic testing outcomes? Alexandria Geary-Stock shares tools, such as grounding techniques and personalized, helpful distractions, to get through this challenging time. She highlights the importance of identifying what brings comfort, whether staying busy, engaging in enjoyable activities, or practicing yoga, to reduce stress. Should you take a home pregnancy test during the two-week wait or wait for official results? The discussion explores how different approaches work for different personalities. How can partners cope with the stress of infertility and support each other effectively? This episode emphasizes vulnerability, communication, and recognizing that both partners experience anxiety. Listeners will also hear how support groups can be helpful, as well as when they may become overwhelming or counterproductive. A powerful mantra shared in this episode: “We don't have all the answers until we have the answers.” This podcast was sponsored by the Fertility Center of Illinois-Milwaukee. 

What if the very thing you believe is helping you get pregnant is actually keeping your body from feeling safe enough to conceive?Many women approach fertility the same way they've achieved success in every other area of life—through hard work, planning, research, and taking action. But fertility often doesn't respond to more effort. In this episode, Dr. Katie Wood and cycle alchemist Adrienne Irizarry explore how hidden control patterns, nervous system stress, and hypervigilance can quietly influence fertility, hormone balance, and overall well-being. If you've been doing everything "right" but still aren't getting the results you're hoping for, this conversation offers a powerful new perspective.In this episode you'll...-Discover how the need for control shows up on the fertility journey and the surprising ways it may be affecting your body.-Learn the connection between nervous system safety, stress responses, hormone health, and your ability to conceive and sustain a healthy pregnancy.-Walk away with practical, actionable steps to shift from hypervigilance and overwhelm into trust, regulation, and support.Press play now to learn how creating more safety, trust, and nervous system balance could be the missing piece in your fertility journey.

Today on the podcast I am sharing a story that will speak straight to your soul.And a story that will remind you just how strong women can be.My guest today went through years of TTC and multiple losses. And just over a year ago, when she finally finally got the 2 pink lines she'd been waiting for again, she sadly lost her baby a few weeks later.  But the grief of this loss could not have prepared her for what came next.This is a conversation about miracles, resilience and navigating the depths of grief while you're still trying to bring your baby home.Thanks for being here on Your Journey to Fertility!

In today's episode, I am getting into one of the most requested topics, getting pregnant after 35. And I want to be clear right from the start, this is not a scary episode. This is an empowering one. We're going to talk about what's actually happening in your body as you age; the biology, the statistics, the real reasons conception can feel harder and I'm going to break it all down in a way that makes sense, gives you a roadmap, and honestly, gives you your power back.  And while there are never any guarantees in this journey, there is so much more within your control than you've been told. I'll be covering the truth about natural conception rates through your reproductive years, why oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are two of the biggest silent disruptors and the functional testing approach I use with my clients that gets them pregnant. Because when you stop guessing and start getting real answers, everything changes.  If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below.

This episode is a gentle one. It is about grief, about the body, about what happens when the path you imagined does not unfold the way you hoped, and about where you can find peace when words are not enough.I am joined by Ellen Mary Webster, horticulturalist, floral designer, author and host of the award-winning Plant Based Podcast. Ellen navigated a decade-long fertility journey that included a near-fatal ruptured ectopic pregnancy, a diagnosis of severe endometriosis, three rounds of IVF and ultimately a hysterectomy in her early 30s. Throughout all of it, she turned to her garden. And in this conversation she explains why that was not just a coping mechanism but a genuine form of healing.Whether you have a large garden, a windowsill, a balcony or just a park nearby, this episode will make you want to go outside.Content note: This episode includes discussion of ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy loss, endometriosis, IVF, hysterectomy and involuntary childlessness.What we discuss in this episode:Ellen's decade-long fertility journey: from ectopic pregnancy to endometriosis diagnosis to IVF to hysterectomyThe ruptured ectopic pregnancy that nearly cost Ellen her life and the eight hours of dismissal that preceded emergency surgeryThe health anxiety that stayed long after the physical recoveryWhy gardening became Ellen's constant throughout all of it, from the very first loss to the weeks recovering from a hysterectomyWhat it means to garden for process rather than outcome and why that mindset maps directly onto a fertility journeyThe science behind soil: why getting your hands in the dirt genuinely affects your brain chemistryWhy just seeing a flower can momentarily shift your mental state even when you are in deep griefForest bathing: what it actually is, what the Japanese have known for centuries, and how 40 minutes among trees can reduce anxiety and increase natural killer cellsHow to do forest bathing on your own and why walking slowly with intention is where to startWhat Ellen did during the five weeks she could not garden after her hysterectomy and what sitting still in her garden taught herThe anger and the unfairness of watching friends fall pregnant and how Ellen processed that over timeWhy you do not need to be a gardener for nature to help you: one plant, a garden centre coffee and a short walk all countThe fertility journey and what it taught Ellen about the miracle of lifeEllen's wellness retreats, forest bathing sessions and what a day or weekend immersed in nature can offerEllen's invitation to anyone who feels like this will not work for themWe are not separate from nature. We are part of it. And we have just become so far detached from it that we have forgotten that going outside, even briefly, even reluctantly, is going to make you feel a little better. Start with one plant. Go to the garden centre. Get a coffee and a piece of cake. Buy the one plant you like and try to nurture it. That is enough.About Ellen Mary WebsterEllen Mary Webster is a horticulturalist, floral designer, author and wellness retreat host. She is the author of The Joy of Gardening and How to Grow a Garden, and the host of the award-winning Plant Based Podcast.

Trying to conceive can quietly turn into hypervigilance, perfectionism, obsessive tracking, and feeling like one “wrong” move will ruin your chances of pregnancy. In this episode, I'm breaking down why you do not need to be perfect to balance your hormones or get pregnant naturally, how fear and loss of trust in your body fuel the TTC control spiral, and what actually creates lasting fertility success instead.Ways to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of 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, with special guest Dr. Annie Martini, a reproductive endocrinologist from the Fertility Centers of Illinois, practicing in their Milwaukee, Wisconsin office. In this episode, the doctors dive into planned oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing) and why more women are choosing fertility preservation. What are the benefits of freezing eggs, and who should consider it? Many patients pursue this option when they are unpartnered, allowing them to preserve younger eggs that do not age. The discussion explores how egg quality changes after age 35, increasing the risk of chromosomal abnormalities and impacting success rates. How many eggs should be frozen, and what outcomes can patients expect? Often, 10–12 eggs may yield only one to three embryos, depending largely on age, and some women may need multiple cycles, especially with lower AMH or egg counts. The episode also walks through the egg freezing process step by step. What does ovarian stimulation involve, and how many monitoring visits are required? Patients typically undergo 5 to 7 visits, each requiring bloodwork and an ultrasound, before a 30-minute egg retrieval procedure. The physicians discuss risks, including ovarian torsion, and why activity restrictions, such as limiting exercise and sexual activity, are essential during stimulation. They also cover recovery expectations, the importance of having a trusted person for transport after retrieval, and how long frozen eggs can be stored. This podcast was sponsored by the Fertility Centers of Illinois at Milwaukee. 

What if your fertility has more to do with your biological age than the number of candles on your birthday cake?If you've been told your age is the reason you haven't conceived or stayed pregnant, this episode will challenge everything you've been taught about fertility after 35. Dr. Katie Wood explains the critical difference between chronological age and biological age, how cellular aging impacts egg quality, and the lifestyle factors that can actively influence your fertility potential starting today.In this episode, you'll learn...-Why biological age is a more meaningful fertility marker than chronological age-The biggest lifestyle and health factors accelerating cellular aging and impacting egg quality-Practical ways to support mitochondrial health, methylation, sleep, stress regulation, and overall fertility naturallyPress play to learn how to support your fertility at the cellular level and take back control of your reproductive health with science-backed strategies you can start implementing today.

If you've been trying to conceive for a while, I want to ask you something:When did trying to get pregnant start to feel like a second job? When did you stop feeling like yourself and start feeling like your body was a project, or something that wasn't working properly?If you're exhausted, your mind won't stop racing, and joy feels like something that belongs to a past version of you… I want you to know something: you are not broken. But you might be burnt out, and that's a very different thing. Today on the podcast, we're talking about TTC burnout. What it is, how it hijacks your body and your hormones, and what you can actually do about it. Because the last thing I want for you is to constantly feel like your entire life is dictated by your fertility journey.By the time you finish listening, you'll find out:What is fertility burnout and how do we get into this place?Does burnout affect your ability to get pregnant?How can we get out of it?Thanks for being here on Your Journey to Fertility! When you finish listening, I'd love to hear your biggest takeaway from today's episode.

What if everything you were told about your fertility, wasn't the full picture? In today's episode, I'm sitting down with my client Brittany, who takes us behind the scenes of a journey that began with a PCOS diagnosis, one that didn't fully reflect what was actually happening in her body. This diagnosis was then followed by a devastating miscarriage and mounting pressure to move forward with IUI. But her story didn't end there. What unfolded instead will challenge what you think you know about fertility diagnoses and timelines and what can shift when you get access to the right testing and work with someone who looks beyond just medical interventions. We talk about the moment everything changed, when deeper testing revealed that her hormone levels didn't align with a PCOS diagnosis at all, and instead pointed to an entirely different root cause. We dive into her protocol that followed her comprehensive hormone testing, and the tension she navigated between her impatience to move forward with treatment and learning to trust me, the process and her body along the way. Not that long ago, Brittany was exactly where you might be right now, searching for answers, weighing her options, and wondering what to do next. But when you trust your gut, find the right practitioner, and continue to surround yourself with success stories like hers, you're getting one step closer to getting and staying pregnant.

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 15, 2026 at 4pm PST, where Dr. Aimee will explain IVF and there will be time to ask her your questions live on Zoom. You can purchase my book, The Egg Whisperer Way, here.   Dr. Aimee Eyvazzadeh is one of America's most well known fertility doctors.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of 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 hosts welcome author Kathy DeGraw, who, along with her daughter Lauren DeBoer, wrote the book Speak Life. Kathy shares her personal journey through fertility challenges, including miscarriage and a molar pregnancy, and explains how her faith-based perspective shaped the creation of this book. Designed as a source of encouragement, the book focuses on prayer, hope, and scriptural truth, drawing from biblical stories of women who experienced infertility and ultimately found strength through faith. The discussion explores how speaking prayers out loud can provide comfort and a sense of connection during infertility, IVF, and pregnancy. What role can faith and prayer play in coping with infertility? Can structured prayer declarations help patients feel more empowered during IVF or pregnancy? The book is organized into sections that guide readers through preparing the body for pregnancy, addressing both female and male infertility, and offering continued support after conception. A unique feature includes 40 weeks of prayer declarations designed to accompany patients throughout pregnancy. Listeners will hear how Kathy's personal experiences shaped their message and how their approach may resonate with patients seeking emotional or spiritual support alongside medical fertility care. This episode highlights the importance of addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of fertility journeys. This podcast was sponsored by IVF Florida.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of 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, our guest, Dr. Zoran Pavlovic of IVF Florida in Boca Raton and Jupiter, discusses the role of reproductive surgery in managing endometriosis. He takes a practical, patient-centered look at endometriosis, focusing on when surgical intervention may help improve fertility outcomes and quality of life. He discusses the goals of surgery, such as pain relief and fertility improvement. He explains how dynamic ultrasound helps determine whether pelvic structures are fixed or adherent and guides surgical planning. Other questions discussed include what types of procedures reproductive surgeons perform. Treatments include excision of endometriosis, fibroid removal, and fallopian tube surgery. What are the benefits of surgery, such as reducing pelvic pain, improving pain with intercourse, removing endometriomas, and restoring normal pelvic anatomy? What are the risks, including bleeding, scarring, and potential reduction in ovarian reserve, when removing ovarian cysts? When is surgery necessary, particularly in patients with severe, life-limiting pain? What medical management options exist, including continuous oral contraceptives, progestins, GnRH antagonists, and IUDs? Why is endometriosis considered a chronic condition requiring ongoing management? What are recurrence rates, and why do 25–40% of patients require additional treatment within two years? Finally, how do patients know when it's time to see a reproductive surgeon? This episode offers clear, actionable guidance for managing endometriosis and preserving fertility. This episode is sponsored by IVF Florida. 

Have you been told everything looks normal, yet you're still struggling to get pregnant or experiencing heartbreaking miscarriages?Many women dealing with unexplained infertility, failed IVF transfers, or recurrent pregnancy loss never realize that hidden inflammation inside the uterine lining could be interfering with implantation and pregnancy.

Imagine this: after months of trying, you finally see your doctor, pour your heart out, and within minutes you're handed a prescription for Clomid or letrozole with the promise that it will "give you a boost." But what if that supposed shortcut isn't actually a shortcut at all and might even be quietly working against your hormones, your uterine lining, and your long‑term chances of getting and staying pregnant? In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what Clomid and letrozole really do in your brain and ovaries, how they can both help and hinder in medicated cycles, IUI, and IVF, the side effects you're rarely warned about, and what it means if you've done multiple rounds and still aren't pregnant. If you've ever wondered, "Is this actually helping me… or could it be setting me back?", stay with me because by the end of this episode, you'll know which questions to ask and how to decide if these meds truly fit into your fertility strategy.

Doug Ford accuses the NDP leader of Trump-style rhetoric. With the opposition heating up its criticism against the Ford government, hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath wonder whether Doug Ford is getting a taste of his own medicine. Then, Steve and JMM look at how the Progressive Conservatives voted down a bill that looked to establish guardrails around publishing misinformation and using artificial intelligence in election communications. And finally, the Canadian Civil Liberties Union says the government's latest move to give special constables the power to arrest drug users on Toronto transit is "a deliberate choice to respond to a public health crisis with coercion instead of care."

Dr. Naomi admits that “self-care” is basically just doing your chores but romanticizing them, and she and Jordana swap what mundane tasks they find “healing.” After enduring a difficult pregnancy and trauma bonding with another new mom, a mom is feeling the friendship has run its course but doesn't know how to gracefully exit the relationship. With Mother's Day looming, one Betch is spiraling because her husband—historically allergic to good gift ideas—swears he has a “surprise,” which honestly feels more like a threat. Jordana also sets an intention for a listener deep in the TTC anxiety spiral, trying to reclaim some chill when her brain refuses to log off. Plus, one woman's already-shaky nerves are sent into overdrive after a chaotic dog encounter—not because of the bite, but because everyone suddenly became a judgmental dog behavior expert. Lastly, a listener who got a wildly condescending work email is left wondering of their rage is justified, or if they need to take several deep breaths and draft a “per my last email” response… again.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of 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, we explore how targeted nutrition and genetics intersect to influence reproductive health, highlighting emerging science that may change how we approach fertility optimization for both men and women. Today, we welcome Steven Zeisel, PhD, founder of SNP Therapeutics and a leader in research on one-carbon metabolism and fertility. What is one-carbon metabolism and how does it affect egg and sperm quality? Which nutrients—such as folate, choline, and vitamin B12—are essential for reproductive success? How do genetic variants impact the body's ability to produce or utilize these nutrients? We discuss the Genate test, designed to identify which genes related to nutrient metabolism are active or impaired. Why shouldn't patients simply take all fertility supplements? Dr. Zeisel explains how excess supplementation may be unnecessary or even harmful without personalized insight. How does choline support fetal brain development and early childhood growth? What happens when men have genetic variants that impair ATP production in sperm, affecting motility and fertilization? Could targeted nutritional supplementation improve sperm function and reduce the need for IVF in some cases? We also review data showing that 9–10% of men may have these metabolic variants. This episode provides a personalized, science-based approach to fertility nutrition. This episode is sponsored by Shady Grove Fertility.

In a world where our watches, rings, and phones are constantly tracking our bodies, it's easy to forget that the most powerful "device" we have is our own body awareness. In today's episode, I'm sitting down with Sabrina Nowicki, CEO and co-founder of the Cyclicity app, to explore why understanding your fertile signs is still absolutely critical, even in the age of endless health data. We dive into how your basal body temperature, cervical fluid, and other fertile signs give you real-time insight into what your hormones are doing in a way no algorithm can truly replicate.  Sabrina shares how Cyclicity is designed to teach you how to read your own chart, rather than just spit out predictions, and how that shifts you from being a passive app user to an active expert on your own cycle. You'll also learn what your chart can reveal about stress, travel, sleep, diet, and even conditions like endometriosis & PCOS long before a generic app would ever flag that something's off. If you're curious whether all your wearable data is actually helping you, or if you're missing the deeper story your body is telling, this conversation is going to change the way you think about tracking your cycle.

Are the “healthy” foods in your diet actually harming your fertility without you realizing it?Many women trying to conceive are eating fortified cereals, plant-based milks, and protein snacks thinking they're helping—but these foods often contain synthetic nutrients that can disrupt hormones, block absorption, and contribute to inflammation and blood sugar imbalances.In this episode you'll...-Understand what fortified foods really are and how they impact your fertility-Learn why synthetic nutrients like folic acid may not support your body the way you think-Discover the best whole, nutrient-dense foods to nourish your hormones, egg quality, and overall fertilityListen now to learn how simple food swaps can better support your fertility and help your body function the way it was designed to.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of 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, and in this episode, they welcome Anne-Marie Pereira, a fertility and wellness therapist practicing in Portugal. She explores the emotional and subconscious aspects of infertility and how they can influence treatment experiences and outcomes. What emotional patterns are common in infertility patients? Many women are conditioned to be highly independent, making it difficult to ask for help, which can affect how they navigate fertility challenges. How can subconscious beliefs impact fertility decisions? Through techniques such as hypnotherapy, Anne-Marie helps patients uncover past experiences that may shape current behaviors, such as delaying childbearing due to early family dynamics. Why do hormonal transitions trigger emotional responses? Major hormonal shifts and fertility treatment failures can bring unresolved subconscious thoughts to the surface. What is the goal of fertility-focused therapy? Her aim is for patients to gain emotional independence within 90 days, improving both well-being and potentially fertility outcomes. How do couples process infertility differently? Women tend to be more expressive, while men may be less communicative, which can lead couples to cope separately. She emphasizes the importance of positivity, limiting negative online influences, and fostering connection. Practical tools such as brief daily meditation, simplifying routines, reconnecting with enjoyable activities like painting, and spending time in nature can help patients create a healthier emotional environment while pursuing fertility treatment. Information about her practice can be found at freeinfertility.com This episode is sponsored by Reproductive Science Center. 

What if what we call Primary Ovarian Insufficiency isn't premature menopause at all, but "ovarian fatigue"?  In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Sarah Daccarett turns conventional hormone wisdom on its head, revealing how hormone depletion can start long before menopause and why diet and supplements alone often miss the mark.  She shares her own powerful postpartum story, the science behind modern, safer hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and why optimizing your hormones isn't just about fertility, it's about protecting your heart, brain, and long-term vitality.  If you've ever wondered whether HRT is right for you, this conversation will completely change the way you think about female hormone health, longevity, and what true balance really means.

 Fertility Docs Uncensored Today's episode of 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, they are joined by guest Dr. Michael Homer of RSC Bay Area in Los Gatos and Menlo Park. The discussion focuses on natural conception success rates compared to IUI and IVF, with a strong emphasis on the impact of age. Patients under 35 have the highest chance of conceiving naturally, while success declines with age, making early evaluation important. Patients are considered to have infertility if they have tried to conceive after unprotected intercourse for one year. The doctors discuss when you should see a fertility doctor sooner. The group highlights earlier evaluation for patients over 36, those with endometriosis, prior pelvic surgery, irregular ovulation, or a partner with low sperm count. What are realistic success rates with IUI? IUI success is largely age-based and generally brings patients close to their natural baseline but does not exceed it. Who are the best candidates for IUI? Ideal candidates include those who ovulate or respond to oral medications, have open fallopian tubes, and have a partner with adequate sperm parameters. When is IVF a better option? IVF may be more effective for patients seeking a faster path to pregnancy or those with lower chances using less aggressive treatments. Younger patients may achieve multiple embryos from one retrieval, while older patients benefit from quicker feedback and the ability to repeat cycles if needed. IVF success rates for patients under 35 are often around 65%, though many patients underestimate their chances for success. This episode is sponsored by Reproductive Science Center. 

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. What is your current interpretation of the scientific evidence on DHEA supplementation for women with low ovarian reserve and advanced maternal age who are preparing for IVF? Can you use retinol skincare products while trying to conceive, or should they be avoided during TTC? For someone in their early 30s who has been trying to conceive for over two years with no positive pregnancy tests and has completed multiple IUIs without success, what would you recommend as next steps or further evaluation? What does it mean if someone notices type 4 cervical mucus occurring twice in a cycle, including again right before their period? For a male partner taking finasteride for several years, is there evidence that it affects sperm quality or fertility outcomes, and should it be stopped when trying to conceive? In lean PCOS, what additional steps can be taken before trying to conceive to help regulate ovulation and hormone balance, especially when cycles are irregular and progesterone is being used to induce a bleed? How do varicoceles impact fertility outcomes even when a standard semen analysis appears normal, and what should patients understand about “normal” lab results versus actual sperm quality? Is there anything that can be done to prevent varicoceles, and what causes them to develop in the first place? When a semen analysis is reported as normal, how should patients and clinicians interpret that result, and what deeper factors might still need to be considered?
