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 listener Q&A episode, the docs take on an emotionally tough but important topic: what to do after a failed IVF cycle. They dive deep into strategies to improve egg numbers, enhance embryo quality, and increase the chances of implantation success in future cycles. The conversation includes how a hysteroscopy can help detect fibroids or polyps that might create inflammation in the uterus, the impact of bacterial inflammation, and diagnostic tools like the ReceptivaDx test, which checks for the inflammatory marker BCL-6. BCL-6 may be linked with inflammation from endometriosis. The docs also touch on evaluating sperm DNA fragmentation and exploring the uterine microbiome. For those with positive signs of inflammation, treatment options such as Lupron or even laparoscopy to remove endometriosis are discussed. And don't miss the discussion on progesterone timing for frozen embryo transfer cycles—why the number of hours of exposure to progesterone can be critical for opening the window of implantation at just the right time. Tune in for a practical, science-based guide to navigating next steps after IVF doesn't go as planned. This episode was sponsored by ReceptivaDx.

After losing her first daughter Lily at birth, Lexi set out to feel it all. To her it was important for her to lean into her pain, her grief, and her motherhood to a baby no longer here. Lexi poured herself into her poetry, that she self published as a way to connect with Lily as well as take time and space to just BE with herself and her pain instead of pushing it away. Since Lily's death, Lexi has since had her little sister Daisy. We talk about the beauty and sadness in raising a living child after loss and the complexity of parenting one here and one in the sky. You can tell her love for her daughters and the strength she exudes despite her pain is inspiring.

Have you heard all the buzz about CoQ10 for fertility—but aren't sure if it's right for you or worth the investment? You're not alone. In today's episode, we're breaking down exactly how CoQ10 works, what it does for egg and sperm health, and how to tell if it's truly the supplement your fertility needs.Coenzyme Q10 has become one of the most talked-about fertility supplements for both men and women. But is it always necessary—or even helpful—for everyone trying to conceive? If you've been told your AMH is low, you're over 35, or you've had poor embryo quality in IVF cycles, CoQ10 might offer benefits—but it's not a magic pill. Learn how this powerful antioxidant supports mitochondrial energy, the hidden factor behind egg maturation and sperm motility, and why the “one-size-fits-all” approach to antioxidants may not be your best move.In this quick episode, you'll learn:- How CoQ10 helps power your reproductive cells at the mitochondrial level- Why it may improve egg quality, sperm DNA, and even IVF outcomes- What to look for in a CoQ10 supplement (hint: not all forms are created equal)- Why functional testing like the Antioxidant Protection Assay can help you personalize your antioxidant support—so you're not wasting time or money

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined once again by Susan Singer (@iamsusansinger), fertility yoga teacher, spirit baby advocate, and co-founder of Gals Off The Grid. Susan first appeared on the podcast back in episode 3, where she shared her fertility journey. Today, we revisit that path and explore the remarkable unfolding of motherhood, intuition, and spiritual alignment that followed. Susan shares how she went from multiple rounds of IVF to a natural conception, and the moment Michelle felt her pregnancy through pulse diagnosis before any test confirmed it. We dive deep into the signs, synchronicities, and spiritual guidance that supported her journey, including a powerful numerological moment in the delivery room that tied back to a PIN code she created 15 years prior. Now a mom and wellness entrepreneur, Susan reflects on how her connection to community, the land, and her own inner wisdom helped shape Gals Off The Grid, a nature-inspired membership and retreat space for soul-led women seeking to reconnect with the rhythms of Mother Earth and feminine energy. This episode is a beautiful reminder that the fertility journey is more than just the physical process it's a soul path rich with signs, surrender, and divine timing. Key Takeaways: Fertility journeys often unfold in unexpected, divinely timed ways. Spirit baby connections can provide emotional and spiritual clarity during the TTC process. Masculine energy and control can create internal resistance, while surrender opens the path to conception. Community and connection to nature can be powerful tools for healing and transformation. Gals Off The Grid offers somatic, seasonal, and soul-led guidance for women rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science. Guest Bio: Susan Singer (@iamsusansinger) is a visionary storyteller, certified yoga teacher, and co-host of the Gals Off The Grid Podcast. With over 15 years of experience across the entertainment and wellness industries, she blends creativity with ancient wisdom to help women reconnect with their voice, purpose, and feminine energy. Susan leads soul-nourishing retreats, moon circles, and healing gatherings rooted in nature, intuition, and ancestral traditions. Her work honours the sacred wisdom of those who came before while empowering women to reclaim their power and live from a place of grounded truth and spiritual alignment.

Have you been told your AMH is low, your eggs are too old, or you're “running out of time”? Egg quality is one of the most misunderstood pieces of the fertility puzzle. Most women are told it's static or age-dependent, but the truth is: egg quality is dynamic and influenced by what's happening inside your body right now. If your cycles feel irregular, you're not seeing signs of ovulation, or you've had unexplained infertility or failed IVF cycles, this episode is essential listening. You'll learn what your cervical mucus, BBT, and hormone levels can tell you—and how to decode whether your eggs are getting the support they need to thrive.In this episode, you'll discover...-The 5 subtle but powerful signs that point to strong egg quality-What your follicular phase, luteal length, and lab values reveal about your ovarian health-Simple, natural strategies to improve egg quality in just 3–4 months (even with low AMH or “advanced maternal age”)

Click here to send me a quick message :) We spend so many of our cycling years trying NOT to get pregnant - whether that's on hormonal contraception, non-hormonal IUD's, using barrier methods or with Fertility Awareness Method.So, when we finally decide that we want to try to conceive, we just assume it will be easy -- particularly if we're younger, healthy and have no obvious conditions that would get in the way of pregnancy.But more and more we're seeing fertility challenges. And unfortunately, it's something that many people feel embarrassment or shame around so it's not widely talked about (except in TTC communities).I've talked to a friend and a client recently who are both currently TTC. One is 27, overall healthy and has an uncomplicated picture (but doesn't have much fertile cervical fluid and her cycles are longer than optimal). The other is 40 and has a current partner whose sperm count and motility is  sub-optimal. Everyone has a different story, and while there's no guarantee, there is so much that is possible to support optimizing fertility. But where do you get good information to determine what actually works and what doesn't? How does stress actually impact fertility? What are the MOST important nutritional considerations to encourage egg and sperm health?Liane Moccia, author of The Herbal Fertility Handbook, shares about all this and more on today's episode.She experienced her own fertility journey while TTC which ended up in failed IVF cycles and eventually, after some nutritional and lifestyle tweaking, a successful cycle and her now 17 year old twin daughters!And now she's written a book blending her embodied experience, years of fertility-focused clinical practice and current research to offer insights into what works and what doesn't to support fertility holistically. Whether you're interested in getting pregnant someday, just curious about how to support your hormones overall or exploring assisted fertility, this conversation is perfect for you!Resources:Today's shownotes: Get links to Liane's book and websiteFree - Start tracking your cycle with FAM guideEpisode 35: A fertility story: from endo to pregnancy with Sarah ShapiroEpisode 80: Cultivating receptivity Interested in Natural Contraception?

What do you do when your prayers feel like they're hitting the ceiling and silence seems to be God's only response? In this raw and faith-filled episode, Courtney unpacks the heavy weight of spiritual silence during the trying-to-conceive (TTC) journey. If you've ever asked, “Where are You, God?” or questioned whether He's listening at all—this is for you. You'll explore biblical stories of silence, discover what God might be doing in the quiet, and walk away with 3 powerful ways to anchor your heart when heaven feels distant. Because silence doesn't mean absence—sometimes, it's the sacred space where God is preparing the most miraculous breakthroughs. You'll learn: The truth about God's character when He seems quiet How to discern the difference between silence and abandonment 3 things you can do to keep your faith alive in the in-between Whether you're in month 2 or year 7 of waiting, this episode will remind you: God may be silent, but He is never still.  

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

What is it that fertility doctors see time & time again that makes a difference to pregnancy outcomes?What are the things that commonly get overlooked?What can you be doing at home to maximise your chances of getting pregnant, whether you're TTC naturally or planning to go through treatments?On today's episode I have the absolute privilege of sitting down with the egg whisperer herself - Dr Aimee Ayvazzadeh, who shares exactly what you need to know if you're TTC.By the time you finish listening, you'll find out: How you can improve success rates, whether you're TTC at home or via treatments What Dr Aimee regularly sees that often doctors have missedWhat everyone who is struggling with fertility needs to knowYou can learn more about Dr Aimee via her website, Instagram or her podcast.EMBRACE THE JOURNEY is back at this end of this month!Join me from Tuesday 29 July 2025 for 3 days of immersive yoga, breathwork & guided meditation for Fertility.

In today's episode I'm diving deep into one of the most debated questions of PCOS and fertility - should you be eating a low-carb diet when preparing for pregnancy with PCOS? If you've ever wondered why blood sugar seems to fluctuate more when you have PCOS, or why so many experts talk about insulin resistance and its impact on your fertility journey, you're in the right place. In this episode, I break down the science behind why PCOS makes you more susceptible to insulin resistance and what that actually means for your body and your hormones. I'll explore why blood sugar swings are more common with PCOS, how those ups and downs can affect ovulation and egg quality, and—most importantly—what you can do about it with your food choices. But here's where it gets really interesting. While low-carb and keto diets are often promoted as the “fix” for PCOS, the truth is much more nuanced. I'll share why these diets can sometimes backfire, especially when you're trying to conceive, and what you need to know to truly support your fertility and hormone health for the long term.

“Your ovulation is your fifth vital sign. Ignoring it is like ignoring your breath.” Topics Discussed The hidden risks of long-term birth control use PCOS, ovarian cysts, and natural healing Fertility timelines and age myths The emotional cost of control on the fertility journey Hormone-disrupting chemicals and modern lifestyle traps Emotional load, overwork, and reproductive stress Creating space and safety for the baby to arrive Why slowing down is sometimes the real medicine “Your body isn't broken. It's brilliant. And it's begging you to slow down and listen.” Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here... If you've ever walked out of a doctor's office with more confusion than clarity and a birth control script you didn't ask for, this episode is going to hit home. I'm talking with the incredible Jenna Longoria—aka the Period Guru—who's lived the nightmare of being dismissed, medicated, and nearly losing an ovary on her honeymoon. Yep. You read that right. We unpack how years of fake hormones can shut down your body and your intuition, how the post-pill rollercoaster almost took Jenna out, and why timelines are straight-up illusions that fuel fertility burnout. We also go there with the truth about PCOS, secondary infertility, and why sometimes your baby hasn't arrived yet… because your body is asking you to come home to it first. Jenna and I crack open a raw, honest conversation about the toxic pressure to do more, be more, push harder... and the quiet truth your body's been whispering all along. We talk about the deep conditioning that keeps women sprinting through burnout while TTC and the illusion of control IVF sometimes offers. This isn't a blame game, it's a wake-up call. Because if you're trying to create life from a body that's running on empty, something's got to give. We get radically real about redefining success, softening the grip, and why sometimes creating space (literally and emotionally) is the most fertile thing you can do. It's not about giving up your dreams. It's about remembering that you're already worthy — before the baby, before the timeline, before all the boxes get checked. Press play if you're ready to trade hustle for healing and make space for a miracle. “The answer to our fertility crisis isn't more IVF. It's more rest, more presence, more truth.” Timestamps [01:17] Jenna shares her story of painful periods, PCOS, the birth control pill, and her healing journey. [04:37] How disconnection from your natural cycle silences your intuition. [07:45] Age, fear, the myth of the fertility cliff, and why control and timelines are sabotaging your fertility. [13:10] How modern life and everyday chemicals disrupt our hormones and fertility. [16:34] The hard truth about overdoing, overworking, and the disconnect from your essence. [19:00] Understanding why connection and presence matter more than performance. [22:30] How to get radically honest with yourself and create space your future baby can feel. [24:39] The deeper reason your baby might be waiting to come through. “If you're not ovulating, you're disconnected from your intuition and the source.” Full Transcript on the Blog: https://www.findingfertility.co/blog/the-real-reason-ivf-isn-t-working-burnout-control-and-your-body-s-cry-for-rest  Connect with Jenna Longoria: https://www.instagram.com/theperiodguru/ https://pages.jennalongoria.com/fertility-checklist/ Let's Do This Together

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 of Fertility Docs Uncensored, the doctors tackle your most pressing questions about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Many PCOS patients have high AMH levels, and often that means more eggs at retrieval. However, sometimes a high egg count doesn't always translate into more embryos or more to transfer, and the Docs explain why quantity doesn't always equal quality. They also dive into IUI cycles for PCOS patients, including the advantages of combining IUI with ovulation induction. The team recommends limiting ovulation induction + IUI attempts to no more than three or four before considering other options. For those with a history of miscarriage, they emphasize the importance of a thorough recurrent pregnancy loss workup, regardless of PCOS status. Should you move to IVF sooner? The docs explore that too—especially for those wanting multiple children, facing recurrent miscarriage, or when male factor issues are in play. The episode wraps with a discussion of medications like metformin and inositols, and when to consider laparoscopy—typically reserved for symptoms like painful periods or signs of endometriosis. This podcast was sponsored by ReceptivaDx.

Get on the waitlist for the DIY HTMA Fertility Bundle Waitlist   If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” but still aren't getting pregnant — this episode is for you. In today's episode, I'm breaking down what HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is and how it can finally give you real answers when you're facing unexplained infertility. We'll talk about how mineral imbalances impact your hormones, ovulation, and overall fertility — and why bloodwork doesn't always tell the full story. Whether you're just starting your TTC journey or you've been trying for a while with no clear direction, this episode will help you understand what your body might be trying to tell you — and how to begin supporting it.  

We're diving deep into hypervigilance, how this so-called superpower might actually be standing in the way of your fertility success. If you can't stop researching, tracking, and worrying, this episode is for you. We're talking about hypervigilance being on high alert all the time and how it's interfering with your fertility. From disrupted hormone signaling to suppressed ovulation and declining egg quality, chronic stress changes how your body works at a fundamental level. Hypervigilance shows up as: Over-researching and second-guessing every decision Micromanaging protocols or switching supplements often Feeling like no matter how hard you try, it's never enough This state may feel productive but it's keeping your nervous system in survival mode. And when your body thinks it's in danger, it prioritizes protection over reproduction. Fertility isn't just about what you eat or which supplements you take, it's also about how your body feels. And the truth is: your reproductive system needs calm to function optimally. Tune in to find out how stress affects egg quality and what to do next on your path to pregnancy. This episode is for you if: Constantly feel like you have to be “on” or in control of your fertility journey - researching, tracking, planning every detail. Struggle to relax or switch off, even when you're doing all the "right" things to support your hormones and egg quality. Have been told your AMH is low or you have diminished ovarian reserve, and you're wondering if stress is playing a bigger role than you thought. In this episode we'll cover: Why chronic stress and hypervigilance disrupt ovulation and hormone balance How high cortisol impacts AMH, egg quality, and IVF outcomes The role of mitochondrial health in egg development and how stress gets in the way Simple somatic practices to calm the nervous system and restore reproductive function How to shift from over-control to trust without losing your sense of agency --- RESOURCES How Perfectionism Affects Fertility and Egg Quality - And What to Do About It:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/is-perfectionism-affecting-your-fertility-how-to-let-go-and-support-egg-health-naturally?_pos=1&_sid=d6bf4d95b&_ss=r IVF Prep with Low AMH: Boosting Your Chances for Success: https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/ivf-prep-with-low-amh-boosting-your-chances-for-success-1?_pos=1&_sid=462c4eac8&_ss=r AMH Diet – Start This Today to Support Fertility & Get Pregnant This Year:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/podcasts/amh-diet-start-this-today-to-support-fertility-get-pregnant-this-year?_pos=4&_sid=b64c3e6f1&_ss=r Success Story: POI at 27 and Pregnant:  https://fabfertile.com/blogs/education/success-story-poi-at-27-and-pregnant?_pos=1&_sid=125e01ba3&_ss=r Our favorite fertility tracker (use code FABFERTILE15 to save 15) - https://www.inito.com/en-us/?srsltid=AfmBOoo85sXu_esmFN5Kz6iysaTkBKgYl35Jubv-BaLkkxXVggdk6nes Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/ Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii Not sure where to start?

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.
