In this heartfelt episode, I'm sharing the honest truth about what I would do differently if I could go back to the beginning of our fertility journey. With the wisdom I have now—and a much more holistic, faith-rooted perspective—I open up about how I would've prioritized healing my heart before chasing protocols, taken a more functional approach to my health, and leaned on God's character instead of rushing ahead in fear.   If you're in the middle of TTC confusion, feeling pressure to make the “next move,” or wondering what you might be missing—this conversation will give you clarity, encouragement, and peace. I'm not here to tell you what to do—I'm here to share what I've learned, what I wish I'd known, and how I'd walk the road differently if I were starting from day 1 today.

Calling all of our TTC friends - if you're relying on OPKs (ovulation predictor kits) to tell when you're ovulating, this episode is for you. Whilst we do know that OPKs can be one of many tools in the conception journey, you do need to understand what they really mean, their limitations and therefore the context in which they should be viewed. We're here to help make your journey to getting pregnant clearer so we break down how to tell if you're REALLY ovulating (and other signs to indicate approaching ovulation!).SEND US A QUESTION:https://www.speakpipe.com/theholistichealthpodcast  FIND NAT BELOW: Website - https://nataliekdouglas.com/  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/natalie.k.douglas  Book a Free Assessment Call - https://calendly.com/nataliekdouglas/thyroid-discovery-call EndoNourish - Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Guide - https://nataliekdouglas.com/endonourish-holistic-endometriosis-adenomyoisis-care-guide/   SacredSeeds - Preconception Care Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/preconception-care-guide/  PCOS Wellness Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/pcos-holistic-guide/  Thyroid Rescue - Self guided programhttps://nataliekdouglas.com/thyroid-rescue/  Coming Off The Pill/IUD Holistic Guidehttps://nataliekdouglas.com/coming-off-the-pill-mini-course/  Become a one-to-one clienthttps://nataliekdouglas.com/1-1-naturopathic-nutrition-consultations/  FIND AMIE BELOW: Book a Free Discovery Call: https://p.bttr.to/3yBdmu3   Book Yourself In: https://l.bttr.to/ZDxWO   Website - https://whatthenaturopathsaid.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thatnaturopath   Join the mailing list - https://elysium-clinic-of-natural-medicine.ck.page/69663ce14a   

Have you ever cried out, “Why would God let this happen to me?” In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest faith questions of all time: If God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow suffering? Through the lens of Job's story, we uncover a sobering but comforting truth: Satan doesn't have free rein. He needs permission. Which means that even your deepest pain has passed through the hands of a sovereign, intentional God. We'll explore how to reconcile God's goodness with our grief, why knowing His names helps us trust His plans, and how pride whispers, “You could do better,” when faith says, “He is still good.” If you're walking through loss, disappointment, or a waiting season and wondering where God is in the midst of it — this conversation will meet you there.

We're digging into blood sugar and why it matters for egg quality, especially if you've been told you have low AMH, DOR (diminished ovarian reserve), POI (premature ovarian insufficiency) or recurrent pregnancy loss. When we think of fertility, blood sugar isn't usually top of mind, but it should be. In this episode we dive into the powerful connection between blood sugar balance and egg quality, especially for those with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve or recurrent miscarriage. You'll learn why even small imbalances can cause oxidative stress and inflammation that disrupts the ovarian environment, and what you can do about it. We walk through CGMs, glucose meters, and symptom tracking to help you find hidden patterns. Plus we share proven diet, lifestyle, and stress strategies to balance your blood sugar and support better reproductive outcomes. Whether this is your first cycle or you've had transfer failures before, this episode will give you practical, personalized steps to protect your eggs and create a more supportive environment for implantation and pregnancy success. This episode is for you if: You're struggling with low AMH, poor egg quality, or recurrent miscarriages and want to understand hidden factors affecting your fertility. You suspect blood sugar imbalances but aren't sure how to identify or manage them effectively. You're ready to use practical tools and lifestyle changes to take control of your reproductive health and improve your chances of pregnancy. In this episode you'll learn:

In today's episode, I interview Ayla Barmmer, the Founder and CEO of FullWell.

Our conversation offers practical advice for individuals trying to conceive, highlighting the need for a holistic approach to reproductive health that includes diet, lifestyle modifications, and strategic supplementation. Our conversation challenges traditional views of fertility by emphasizing the equal importance of male reproductive health and the long-term consequences of preconception care.  Episode Highlights:  Ayla's background in nutrition, fertility work, and how she started her supplement company FullWell Why sperm health goes beyond fertilization How sperm health can significantly impact pregnancy outcomes and the long-term health of offspring The global decline in sperm quality over the past 70 years Critical insights into nutritional approaches for supporting reproductive health The importance of high quality ingredients in fertility supplements for both him and her How to evaluate supplement quality and tips on what to look for in supplement testing and transparency If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below.   PLUS FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM PAGE HERE FOR BITE SIZED TTC TIPS!

It's another Expert Minisode! Did you know that when it comes to storing your reproductive tissue—including eggs, sperm, and embryos—you have a choice? Most clinics automatically store your tissues—or hand you off to their partner. But guess what? It doesn't have to be that way. Today, Ali is talking to Courtney Dennewitz, Chief Operations Officer and Co-Founder of Generations CryoVault, which is driven by a deep passion to “do things right” in the world of fertility preservation, armed with the motto, "Your Tissues, Your Choice." Courtney, who has more than 17 years of industry experience in cryostorage, talks about how GenCryo is passionate about providing the safest, most reliable storage option for patients and clinics alike. She also answers every question Ali could think of when it comes to fertility preservation, including, What safety and monitoring systems are in place at GenCryo? How is tissue protected in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as natural disasters or equipment failures? And how has cryostorage changed in the past few decades? "You might argue that we go a little overboard ensuring that they never warm, but we prefer to do more than necessary to avoid a heartbreaking disaster," Courtney says. For more info, go to GenCryo.com -- and mention Infertile AF to receive 1 free month of storage.

Hey sisters! This week you get a bonus episode — and trust me, it's a good one. On Monday, we talked all about what a doula is (and why that matters even before you get pregnant). Today, we're diving into the next big question: What is a midwife? And how does a midwife compare to an OB? If you're like me, maybe you didn't even know midwives existed outside of “old-fashioned” stories — until God opened my eyes. After experiencing OB care through my miscarriages and even into my third trimester with my rainbow baby, I finally learned there was another option. Episode Highlights: What a midwife actually is The difference between OBs and midwives Why your care model really matters — even before you're pregnant How midwives support things naturally, while OBs are trained in disease and intervention The types of midwives: CNMs vs CPMs (and what each one is trained in) What my own experience switching from an OB to a home birth midwife was like — and why it was so different You'll hear about Midwife RX, a telehealth option I recommend for those needing progesterone prescriptions or early care. We'll also talk about how midwives can serve you pre-conception, not just during pregnancy. And if you take away just one thing today, let it be this: You have options. And those options are worth exploring with prayer and intention.

Erika breaks down what's considered “normal” in terms of cycle length and dives into what heavy or scant bleeding might be telling you about your health. From anatomical issues like fibroids and polyps to hormonal causes such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hypothalamic amenorrhea (common in elite athletes), this episode covers it all. Erica also shares insight on how IUDs and uterine scar tissue can affect your flow.

If you've ever felt like you're standing on the outside looking in — watching others step into the motherhood role you long for — you're not alone. In today's episode, we're naming the ache to belong that so many women silently carry during their fertility journey. From the pain of not holding the title “mom” yet, to the emotional weight of feeling left out of the motherhood community, we unpack how God wired us for connection — and how our truest belonging is found in Him, not in our circumstances. Courtney shares a raw personal story of uprooting her life from Maui to Texas and how it revealed deeper lessons about identity, grief, and grounding your worth beyond roles or recognition. Rooted in Scripture and full of practical encouragement, this episode offers a new way to see the season of waiting: not as punishment, but as an invitation to be anchored in God's love. Whether you're feeling overlooked, left out, or just deeply weary, this episode is a reminder: You already belong — because you are His.

We're digging into egg health, inflammation, and the key factors that cause it. We often hear about “low AMH” or “poor egg quality” without answers that go beneath the surface. In today's episode, we explore a missing link that could be driving it all: chronic inflammation. Whether you're dealing with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), or recurrent miscarriage, understanding inflammation's role may be key to moving forward. This episode is for anyone ready to connect the dots between lab results, symptoms, and what's going on inside the body. If you've been told everything is “normal,” but it doesn't feel that way, this is your invitation to dig deeper with science, strategy, and a plan. This episode is for you if: You're struggling with low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or poor egg quality. You want to understand how inflammation could be impacting your fertility journey. You're looking for actionable insights to support egg health naturally through lab markers and lifestyle factors. In this episode you'll learn: How chronic inflammation affects egg quality, ovarian reserve, and miscarriage risk Why low AMH isn't the full story and what labs to ask for next Key blood markers (like hs-CRP, homocysteine, and thyroid antibodies) that reveal hidden inflammation The role of insulin resistance, thyroid imbalance, and nutrient deficiencies in ovarian aging Practical strategies to reduce inflammation and improve egg health with a functional approach --- RESOURCES "Your Labs Are Normal” But Are They? 20 Overlooked Blood Markers & Functional Tests to Improve Egg Quality & Fertility:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/your-labs-are-normal-but-are-they-20-overlooked-blood-markers-functional-tests-to-improve-egg-quality-fertility Why Does It Matter If I Have Migraines and POI?: https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-does-it-matter-if-i-have-migraines-and-poi?_pos=2&_sid=27548216b&_ss=r The Link Between Sleep and Fertility: Why Getting Enough Rest Matters:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/how-poor-sleep-could-be-sabotaging-your-egg-quality Why Addressing Homocysteine Levels Can Boost Egg and Sperm Health: https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-addressing-homocysteine-levels-can-boost-egg-and-sperm-health?_pos=1&_sid=750cbcc5e&_ss=r What Mood Swings, Sugar Cravings, Poor Sleep and Feeling Hangry Have to Do With Your Fertility:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/what-mood-swings-sugar-cravings-poor-sleep-and-feeling-hangry-has-to-do-with-your-fertility?_pos=11&_sid=02696b0e2&_ss=r Why Genomic Testing Can Help With Recurrent Pregnancy Loss, Birth Outcomes and Preconception Health:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/why-genomic-testing-can-help-with-recurrent-pregnancy-loss-birth-outcomes-and-preconception-health?_pos=10&_sid=8a66db686&_ss=r Is Your Thyroid Impacting Egg Health?

In today's episode, I'm diving into the fascinating world of genetic testing for fertility, unpacking the differences between traditional genetic carrier screening and the innovative Grow Baby Genetic Test. While carrier screening is a powerful way to discover if you or your partner carry hidden genetic risks for serious inherited conditions, what if you could go even further? That's where the Grow Baby Genetic Test comes in.  Unlike standard carrier screening, Grow Baby zeroes in on your own genetic blueprint, maternal health and pregnancy optimization by analyzing key genes that influence your fertility, hormone balance, nutrient needs, and pregnancy health. Whether you're just starting your fertility journey or in the thick of it and experiencing recurrent loss or preparing for fertility treatment, this episode will show you why this affordable genetic test is more than just a precaution, it's your roadmap to confident, empowered pregnancy planning.

One of the most widely debated issues in Toronto in the last two decades has been transit. A plan called Transit City launched 18 years ago. In the intervening years, the City of Toronto and its transit funding partners have had many plans, and stops and starts on infrastructure building to move people around the GTHA.

Jennifer Keesmaat, president and CEO of Collecdev Markee, a sustainable housing development group and former chief planner for the City of Toronto.

I had just lost Brody only 4 months prior. I was raw, wrecked, and trying to survive the total devastation of stillbirth. That title—At a Total Loss—fit where I was. But grief doesn't stay in one place...and neither do we.In losing him, I've also gained so much:Perspective. Purpose. A community. A deeper love.

In this eye-opening episode of Fertility Village Live, co-hosts Tanya and Erin welcome Dr. Mathieu Boilard, PhD—CEO and founder of Nasci Biomed—for an in-depth conversation on male fertility and the groundbreaking science happening behind the scenes. Nasci Biomed is a private research and diagnostic lab based in Quebec, Canada, specializing in the advanced cellular biology of spermatozoa. Their work uses cutting-edge flow cytometry and biochemistry to offer some of the most comprehensive male fertility analyses available today.Dr. Boilard walks us through what a fertility spermogram actually measures—from volume and pH to detailed mobility patterns, morphology, and even DNA fragmentation. He explains why these deeper insights matter when it comes to diagnosis, early detection of male factor infertility, and choosing the right course of treatment. We explore common diagnoses like oligospermia, azoospermia, and teratospermia, and discuss what current options exist for men with very low or no sperm—such as micro-TESE procedures and hormone treatments. We also talk about how testosterone and other hormones play a critical role in sperm production, and what signs men can look for if they're wondering whether they may have a fertility issue.We dig into sperm DNA fragmentation—what it is, how it's tested, and how it can impact outcomes for IUI and IVF. Dr. Boilard shares how Nasci is bridging the gap between fertility research and clinical application, constantly searching for technologies that could lead to meaningful breakthroughs for patients. Whether you're currently TTC, undergoing treatment, or just learning more about your reproductive health, this episode provides essential knowledge for anyone looking to better understand the often-overlooked male side of the fertility journey.To learn more about Nasci Biomed or to book an appointment for a fertility spermogram or DNA fragmentation test, visit: www.nascibiomed.ca

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.

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.

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?

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!
