Podcasts about Unexplained infertility

SYNOPSIS:What does it mean to experience yourself as a fertile body? And what happens when your body doesn't seem to be cooperating with your deepest hopes?In this wide-ranging conversation, Ali speaks with Harvard-awarded fertility specialist Gabriela Rosa about fertility as far more than a medical diagnosis. Together they explore the meaning we attach to parenthood, the relationship between fertility and creativity, the impact of trauma and relationships on reproductive health, and why infertility is never simply "a women's issue."Gabriela shares her evidence-based, integrative approach to fertility, explaining how removing obstacles to health often allows the body's innate intelligence to do what it already knows how to do. Along the way, they discuss IVF, implantation, sperm health, miscarriage, Family Constellation Work, embodiment, and the profound question of how we learn to trust the intelligence of our bodies – even when it seems to be saying "not yet."Whether you're navigating fertility challenges, considering parenthood, or simply curious about the body's remarkable capacity for intelligence and healing, this conversation offers a deeply humane perspective on one of life's most meaningful journeys.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to reconsider one of the podcast's central questions: What becomes possible when we stop treating the body as a problem to solve and begin discovering the body's innate intelligence?To subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:Website: https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:FREE Guided Body Mapping Taster: Heart/Sexuality SplitFive-films series (made by Ali Mezey) on renowned Family Constellation Facilitator, Stephan Hausner's work with transgenerational influences on illnessFOR MORE GABRIELA ROSA: BIO:Gabriela Rosa, DrPH (Candidate, Harvard), is a Harvard-awarded fertility specialist, founder of The Rosa Institute, and author of Fertility Breakthrough: Overcoming Infertility and Recurrent Miscarriage When Other Treatments Have Failed.

It secretes progesterone, which prepares the uterus for pregnancy.EndometriosisA chronic condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, often causing pelvic pain, painful periods, and fertility challenges.Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)A common hormonal condition that can affect ovulation, menstrual cycles, fertility, metabolism, and hormone balance.ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)A specialized IVF procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to achieve fertilization, often used in cases of male-factor infertility.Sperm parametersThe characteristics measured during a semen analysis, including sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and vitality, which help assess male fertility.Can eggs repair sperm DNA fragmentation?Healthy eggs possess natural DNA repair mechanisms that can repair some damage in sperm DNA after fertilization. However, this capacity depends on the quality of the egg and the extent of the sperm's DNA fragmentation.

When your cycles are regular, your ultrasound looks normal, or you have been pregnant before, how do you know when it is time to look deeper? Fertility testing does not always give you the whole picture. An LH surge is not the same as the day you ovulate, a normal ultrasound cannot rule out every uterine issue, and previous pregnancies do not protect you from secondary infertility or recurrent loss. In this Fertility Q&A, Dr. Natalie Crawford answers your questions about ovulation tracking, recurrent chemical pregnancies, PMOS (formerly PCOS), low sperm motility, failed embryo transfers, Hashimoto's, unexplained infertility, IUI, and when to pursue a more complete fertility evaluation.

In this episode, fertility expert Sonia Ribas joins the conversation to debunk the myths of 'failing fertility.' Instead of viewing the body as a broken machine, Sonia explains how hormonal imbalances, inflammation, and nervous system overload are often the body's way of saying it doesn't feel safe enough to sustain a pregnancy. We explore her three-step framework for natural optimization and how to create an internal environment where life can thrive.Key Takeaways:Fertility is a Vital Sign: Why reproductive health is a reflection of overall systemic wellness.The Nervous System Connection: How 'fight or flight' mode impacts hormone production.Root Cause Focus: Addressing inflammation and depletion rather than just treating symptoms.Empowerment Over Urgency: Shifting the emotional narrative from 'running out of time' to 'restoring health.'Connect with Sonia Ribas:Website: The Fertility SolutionInstagram: @soniaribascoachExpertise: 15+ years of experience, 700+ babies welcomed worldwide.If this episode resonated with you:Follow the podcastShare with a mom who needs to hear thisLeave a review to help more moms find supportYou can also find me on Instagram at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@expandedmamas⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for daily wellness practices and healthy habits.CLEAN SWAPS for skin, home, and overall health- ⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠Purchase our evening journal to start a reflective wind down routine: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Expanded Evening Journal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discount Codes for some of my favorites:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Genuine Essiac⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Click the link for 10% off your order, or use code HOPE10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Regenalight⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Click the link for 10% off your order, or use code NICOLE52385

What if a diagnosis of "unexplained infertility" simply means no one's looked closely enough yet? Two Aimees share their views on how "unexplained" may be a lazy diagnosis that actually requires a deeper dive into what is going on.  In this episode of The Egg Whisper Show, I sit down with Aimee  Raupp  @AimeeRaupp   bestselling author, fertility expert, and longtime women's health advocate,  to talk about her book Yes, You Can Get Pregnant, and why "unexplained infertility" is often just a lazy diagnosis. We cover everything from joy and nervous system regulation to inflammation, immune dysregulation, ovarian PRP, and the daily habits that actually move the needle on fertility outcomes, no matter your age. ✅️In this episode, we cover: - Why joy, pleasure, and nervous system regulation directly impact hormones and egg quality - The real reasons behind the diagnosis "unexplained infertility" and why it's rarely actually unexplained - The four pillars behind PCOS, POI, endometriosis, and repeat implantation failure - Key labs to request before starting IVF or egg freezing - Daily lifestyle shifts (sunlight, sleep, nutrition, endocrine disruptors) that support fertility - Ovarian PRP and rejuvenation: what the research actually shows - How to build a "no regret" fertility plan with your care team

I'm breaking down why an "unexplained infertility" diagnosis doesn't mean you can't get pregnant, it simply means conventional medicine hasn't found the real root cause yet. In this episode, I share the biggest factors I see affecting fertility, why optimizing your body before medication matters, and how to feel empowered instead of defeated on your fertility journey.Ways to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

Holistic Fertility, “Unexplained Infertility,” and Mercier Therapy with Dr. Jen Mercier In this episode, HeHe sits down with fertility specialist, midwife, and creator of Mercier Therapy Dr. Jennifer Mercier for a powerful conversation about infertility, reproductive health, and why so many families are being told “everything looks normal” while still struggling to conceive. Together, they unpack the reality behind “unexplained infertility,” the labs and diagnostics that are often skipped in traditional fertility care, and why true fertility support has to look at the whole body—not just your ovaries. Dr. Mercier breaks down cycle-specific hormone testing, thyroid health, prolactin, semen analysis, endometriosis, C-section scar tissue, and the environmental factors impacting fertility rates today, from microplastics and endocrine disruptors to chronic stress and lifestyle exposures. HeHe and Dr. Mercier also dive into restorative reproductive medicine, NaPro approaches, and Mercier Therapy, Dr. Mercier's pelvic visceral manipulation technique designed to support reproductive function and improve pelvic mobility. This episode is packed with practical education, hope, and empowering reminders that infertility care should never be one-size-fits-all.

Have you been told your fertility tests are normal, but pregnancy still isn't happening? What does unexplained infertility actually mean when it clearly feels like something is going on?

Today's guest and I fundamentally agree on the basic premise of the body's innate wisdom and capacity to heal, especially when we view it in a broader ecological context. According to him, infertility doesn't mean the body is broken; it's actually making intelligent, adaptive, and protective decisions made by the 4 foundational systems of the body that created life in the first place based on environmental conditions, resources, safety, and energy.  Nick Dorsey, FDN-P, is a systems-based fertility and health educator, biochemist, and former chemistry educator who helps couples understand why fertility shuts down even when labs look normal and they're doing all the right things. With a Master's in biochemistry and over a decade teaching chemistry, physics, and environmental science, he translates complex biology into a clear understanding of how the body makes decisions.  Nick's research and experience supports that the body isn't broken, it's adapting intelligently to depletion, toxicity, and chronic stress, and symptoms like inflammation, fatigue, anxiety, gut dysfunction, and unexplained infertility are protective signals from a system in survival mode. Nick teaches health through the Four Pillars of biological readiness: the microbiome as the environmental interface, mitochondria as energy and resource allocators, minerals as the electrical and enzymatic stabilizers of physiology, and the nervous system as the regulator of safety and coherence.  Rather than chasing symptoms, his work restores these systems so the body can repair, regulate, and reproduce when conditions are biologically appropriate. Functional labs reveal patterns of adaptation that explain why the body is saying not now, and what it needs next. Nick works with individuals and couples through high-touch, data-informed programs, with a long-term commitment to healthy pregnancies, births, and families across generations. He's a father of two with another on the way, both born at home, and long before biochemistry he spent most of his life teaching, coaching, and supporting children, including leading a youth ministry for kids with disabilities.  Connect with Nick  via: Email: Nick@functionalchemistry.com  IG: @FunctionalChemistry YT: @FunctionalChemistry10

Send us Fan MailWhy do IUIs fail, even when everything seems to be done right? In this updated episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down what a failed IUI actually means. He explains the three biggest reasons IUIs fail: sometimes it is just bad luck, sometimes IUI is the wrong treatment for the biology, and sometimes there is a hidden problem that routine fertility testing cannot detect. This episode also covers newer data on IUI success rates, the role of male factor infertility, how age and time trying should affect treatment decisions, when it makes sense to keep trying IUI, and when it may be smarter to move on to IVF. If you have ever wondered whether a failed IUI means something is wrong or whether IVF is the next step, this episode will help you think about it more clearly. Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Becoming a single mother by choice is complicated enough, but when you add layers of cultural expectations, family pressure, and the uncertainty of fertility, it can feel like there's just no roadmap and no one who gets it. In today's episode, I'm joined by Reema Kiran, executive coach, founder of Choice Mom Coach, and now published author of the book, Choice Mom. We go deep into her process of navigating unexplained infertility, cultural traditions, and making the call to prioritize motherhood on her own terms.Together, we share the real, lived experience of choosing this path despite fears and grief over what “should have been". Reema opens up about childhood dreams clashing with grown-up realities, the importance of mindset, and what it meant to face questions from family and her Indian community. We talk about what's helped us both, and what it has looked like for our families (and ourselves) to come around to single motherhood by choice. Whether you're in the thinking stage, facing fertility challenges, or wrestling with letting go of the life you imagined, this is a truly supportive, honest conversation.In this episode, we talk about:Navigating cultural expectations and family reactions as a single mother by choiceThe emotional side of infertility, failed fertility treatments, and shifting your mindsetReema's experience with egg freezing and entering the world of IVF on her ownGrieving the loss of the partner and child vision, and finding your own way forwardDay-to-day realities and surprises of solo motherhood (from mental load to mom guilt)How to speak with confidence to loved ones who might not understand your choicesThe power of self-compassion, community, and taking just one next stepConnect with Reema:WebsiteInstagram: @choicemomcoachChoice Mom: An Empowering Guide to Becoming a Single Mother by Choice

Send us Fan MailIn this replay episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down one of the most frustrating questions in fertility treatment: why IUIs sometimes fail even when everything seems like it should work. He explains the real success rates of IUI, why unexplained infertility is not the same as no problem, how sperm and tubes can look normal on paper but still not function normally, and why a failed IUI does not mean IVF will fail too. This is a helpful episode for anyone trying to understand realistic expectations for IUI and when it may be time to move on to IVF.

In this episode of the Fertility Friday Podcast, Lisa welcomes back Aimee Raupp, MS, LAc, to celebrate the newly updated and expanded edition of Yes, You Can Get Pregnant — and the conversation covers far more than a book launch. Lisa and Aimee explore why a diagnosis of unexplained infertility should be a starting point for deeper investigation, not a final answer, and discuss the four core factors every practitioner and client should be considering: egg quality, sperm health, the uterine environment, and immune function.  Follow this link to view the full show notes page!

Dr. Simone explores unexplained infertility—when thorough testing shows no clear cause—discussing how common it can be and available treatments such as fertility medications, IUI, and IVF. She also covers practical steps couples can take: lifestyle changes (quit smoking, reduce alcohol and caffeine, maintain a healthy weight, balanced diet, daily exercise), stress reduction, and the importance of seeking support and treatment options at Optimal Performance Zurich. @drschwank @unesurcent

Send a textIf you're 38, you've been trying for 12 months, and every test comes back “normal,” this episode is your step-by-step game plan for what to do next. “Unexplained infertility” isn't a diagnosis—it's a sign we haven't found the real bottleneck yet, and at 38, time is a real variable.We walk through the highest-yield checklist to confirm what's truly been evaluated (ovulation, uterine cavity, tubes, and the male factor), then cover the common “hidden” causes that don't show up on basic workups—like egg quality/aneuploidy, subtle sperm issues (including DNA fragmentation), endometriosis, and timing problems.Finally, I lay out a clear decision tree for your next move—minimal intervention vs a time-limited IUI trial vs moving to IVF sooner—plus my hard-stop rules, what I would NOT waste time or money on, and the exact questions to bring to your next appointment so you leave with a timeline instead of limbo.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

104. Rosey is on to share her IVF pregnancy with donor eggs. Rosey shares the intimate details of her decade-long path to motherhood. After a relatively straightforward journey with her first daughter at age 36, Rosey was met with years of "unexplained" infertility while trying for a second child. She takes us through the clinical maze of IUIs and mini-IVF, the heartbreak of a mid-trimester loss, and her eventual decision to pursue donor eggs. Rosey speaks candidly about the importance of being your own advocate—specifically how she pushed for endometriosis testing when she was told "it's just your age"—and how she navigated the transition to donor conception with a focus on bonding and peace.We also feature a special "update" where Rosey and I reconnect months after our initial recording. In this powerful segment, she reflects on how her story took one final, unexpected turn.Get the resources, transcript and more information about this episode: https://over40fabulousandpregnant.com/episode104/Shop the Show

Unexplained infertility, PMS, and low progesterone are often dismissed when labs fall “within range.” In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy explains why prolactin may be the missing piece. Learn how mildly elevated prolactin can suppress ovulation, lower progesterone, and impact fertility—even when labs appear normal. We also discuss common causes, symptoms, the role of stress and medications, and why diet (including gluten sensitivity) may matter. This episode focuses on precision medicine, not fear—helping you understand what standard reference ranges often miss. Citations: Research — Prolactin and Breast Cancer Risk Below are key epidemiologic and review papers that inform the discussion in this episode regarding prolactin and breast biology. These studies look at associations, not simple cause-and-effect relationships, and help explain why prolactin shows up in breast health conversations. Meta-analysis: circulating prolactin and breast cancer risk Wang M, et al. (2016). Plasma prolactin and breast cancer risk: a meta-analysis. Cancer Causes & Control. This meta-analysis pooled data from multiple observational studies comparing women with higher versus lower circulating prolactin levels. Across studies, higher prolactin levels were associated with a modest but statistically significant increase in breast cancer risk. The association was most evident in postmenopausal women and in hormone-receptor–positive tumors. This helps explain why prolactin is considered a relevant growth signal in breast tissue rather than just a “lactation hormone.” Systematic review and meta-analysis: prolactin levels across breast cancer cohorts Aranha AF, et al. (2022). Impact of prolactin levels in breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Endocrine-Related Cancer. This more recent systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated circulating prolactin levels across breast cancer populations and control groups. Elevated prolactin levels were associated with higher breast cancer occurrence, with stronger associations seen in invasive cancers and hormone-receptor–positive disease. This paper adds weight to the idea that prolactin participates in breast biology in ways that matter clinically, even outside of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Prospective cohort studies: prolactin measured before diagnosis Tworoger SS, et al. (2004; 2006). Prospective analyses from large cohorts including the Nurses' Health Study. In these studies, prolactin was measured years before any breast cancer diagnosis. Women with higher prolactin levels had a higher likelihood of developing breast cancer later, particularly estrogen-receptor–positive tumors in postmenopausal women. Because prolactin was measured before cancer developed, these studies help clarify timing and reduce the concern that elevated prolactin is simply a consequence of disease. Mechanistic context (supportive background) Experimental and translational studies show that prolactin receptor signaling influences mammary epithelial cell growth, differentiation, and interaction with estrogen signaling pathways. This provides a biologic backdrop for why epidemiologic associations between prolactin and breast cancer risk keep appearing across different study designs. How to read this as a clinician or patient These data do not mean prolactin “causes” breast cancer in a simple or deterministic way. What they do show is that prolactin is an active hormone in breast tissue, and chronically higher levels are consistently associated with changes in breast risk profiles across large populations. That's why prolactin deserves attention in conversations about fertility, breast symptoms, and long-term hormonal signaling—not fear, and not dismissal.    Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona.

In this episode, I sit down with one of my former mentors and professors, Dr. Alan Penzias, Medical Director at Boston IVF and Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, to discuss his recent editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine titled "The Weighty Issue of Obesity and Reproductive Success."  Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.  We dive deep into how age and weight factor into the fertility equation and why these conversations are so critical for anyone trying to conceive. Dr. Penzias shares his decades of experience helping patients navigate the complex intersection of body mass index, maternal age, and reproductive success, offering practical guidance on when to seek treatment and how to optimize your health before trying to get pregnant. In this episode, we cover: How age remains the strongest predictor of fertility success and why both partners should consider timing The U-shaped curve of BMI and fertility: why both low and high body mass index can impact conception Practical strategies for doctors for discussing weight and fertility with patients in a shame-free, empowering way When to prioritize immediate fertility treatment versus taking time for weight optimization based on age The role of GLP-1 medications (like Tirzepatide) in fertility treatment and safe protocols for use Why unexplained infertility may have hidden explanations related to weight and metabolic health The "do the as if" philosophy: building sustainable health habits one step at a time Resources: Dr. Alan Penzias and Boston IVF: BostonIVF.com Dr. Penzias's editorial: "The Weighty Issue of Obesity and Reproductive Success" - Annals of Internal Medicine https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/ANNALS-25-02742  Dr. Penzias's YouTube video: "Evidence-Based Approach to Unexplained Infertility" https://youtu.be/9j4lNvmaXts?si=zmMFZFOno0sWnhcn  American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Practice Committee resources on overweight and fertility https://www.asrm.org/ Dr. Stephanie Fein  - Fertility Weight Loss Specialist: https://www.stephaniefeinmd.com/  Hillary Wright, Nutritionist at Boston IVF: https://www.bostonivf.com/physicians/hillary-wright Do you have questions about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Content note: This episode discusses weight loss, weight-based medical discrimination, and fertility challenges. Please take care of yourself as you listen.This week's episode is one that made me both furious and hopeful in equal measure. I sat down with Zoe, who spent years being told to lose weight before she'd be taken seriously about her fertility. After losing nearly four stone and still getting nowhere with UK fertility services, she went to Greece for testing and discovered extensive uterine scarring that would've prevented pregnancy entirely, regardless of her weight.If you've ever been dismissed by doctors who only see your body size, or if you're stuck in "unexplained infertility" territory, this episode is for you. Zoe's story shows why proper investigation matters and what becomes possible when you get the care you actually deserve.In this episode, we cover:- Why "unexplained infertility" often means "we haven't investigated properly" and what testing might be missing- How Zoe discovered extensive uterine scarring that was completely treatable but would never have been found in the UK system- The reality of accessing fertility care abroad and why Greece became the answer when UK services kept saying "lose weight first"- What a hysteroscopy revealed in 10 minutes that years of UK appointments had missed- Why weight loss couldn't have solved the actual problem and what that means for anyone being told their size is the issueUseful Links:Download: Fat Person's Guide to Getting PregnantBook a Fat Positive Fertility Roadmap CallFollow me on InstagramEmail me a question for a future episodeEmma Haslam's work helping UK folks access fertility care abroad This is a public episode.

Send us a textFertility tests can look perfect on paper—and pregnancy still doesn't happen.In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols breaks down why many fertility treatments, especially IUI, are built on assumptions rather than certainty. Tests like the HSG can confirm that fallopian tubes are open, but they cannot prove that the tubes are functional. Semen analysis can look normal, but it cannot confirm that sperm can reach the egg or successfully fertilize it.This gap between testing and reality is why IUI often requires a leap of faith—and why it works well for some patients but not for others.In this episode, Dr. Amols covers:What fertility tests can—and cannot—tell usWhy “normal results” don't guarantee pregnancyWhy IUI is assumption-based by designWho is more likely to succeed with IUIWhy patients with long-standing infertility face harder decisionsThe difference between assumption-based treatment (IUI) and information-based treatment (IVF)Why IVF often provides answers even when it doesn't lead to pregnancyIf you've ever wondered why IUIs fail despite normal testing—or whether it's time to move on to IVF—this episode explains the logic behind those decisions without pressure or judgment.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

In this episode of Healthy As A Mother, we're joined by Dr. Leah Gordon to explore why so many women struggle with fertility, even when their labs look “normal.”We discuss how hormonal birth control, chronic stress, gut health, inflammation, and nervous system dysregulation can quietly block conception and implantation. Dr. Leah explains why ovulation alone doesn't always equal fertility, how the body's stress response impacts reproductive hormones, and what it really means to support the body before pregnancy.This is a compassionate, root-cause conversation for women navigating unexplained infertility, coming off birth control, or preparing their body for pregnancy, and a reminder that the body isn't broken, it just needs the right support.RESOURCES MENTIONEDWomanhood Wellness Membership: Where functional medicine meets feminine wisdom—guiding you to balance hormones, awaken libido, and prepare for pregnancy with intention.

In today's episode, we are talking about a phrase that I honestly wish we could throw away, light on fire, and bury forever: “unexplained infertility.” It sounds final. It sounds hopeless. It sounds like a human is trying to play God by telling you there is no answer and no way forward. And that is simply not the truth. In this episode, we're going deep into the real root causes doctors often overlook - your faith, your lifestyle and nourishment, your gut and liver health, and your cervical mucus and cycle patterns. If you've been told “unexplained,” I want you to hear today loud and clear: it is not unexplainable.

Send us a textIn this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols takes a deep dive into the ZyMōt microfluidic sperm chip — a device designed to mimic nature's way of selecting the healthiest sperm.We explore:Why sperm DNA fragmentation matters for fertilization, embryo quality, and miscarriage risk.How the ZyMōt chip works compared to traditional methods like swim-up and density gradient centrifugation.What the science really shows — from lab data to clinical trials — including studies where the chip nearly doubled live birth rates in male-factor infertility, and others where it made little difference in unselected IVF populations.Which patients benefit the most: men with high DNA fragmentation, couples with male-factor infertility, and those with failed fertilization or poor embryos in past cycles.Practical considerations — cost, limitations, and why some clinics use it for everyone while others use it selectively.Is it a true game changer, or just another lab gadget?

When IVF fails and you're childless after infertility, people often try to cheer you up with “at least you can…” comments. But what these comments really reveal is how uncomfortable our society is with sadness. In this episode, I share how a recent injury reminded me of that cultural reflex, why sadness is not a flaw, and how you can create room for both grief and growth as a childless woman. Plus: details on my free class September 17 and my World Childless Week panel on September 20, Rediscovering Your Identity as a Childless Woman. Sadness and Infertility: When It Feels Uncomfortable Have you ever been told “At least you can travel” or “At least you don't have to pay for college” after your IVF failed? If you're childless after infertility, you know how painful and dismissive these “at least you can” comments feel. People think they're comforting, but they rarely land that way. In this week's episode of The So Now What? Podcast, I explore what these comments really mean, why they don't help, and how to stop internalizing the silent message they send — that sadness, disappointment, and grief are emotions you shouldn't feel. You'll hear: Why people reach for “at least” comments and what it reveals about society's discomfort with sadness How my nephew's recent soccer injury reminded me of our instinct to erase someone else's sadness The connection between these comments and what we hear when IVF fails Why sadness is not a flaw but proof that something mattered to you How to hold both infertility grief and the good that still exists in your life Why rediscovering your identity as a childless woman can shift your story from loss to strength This episode also celebrates the 4-year anniversary of The So Now What? Podcast. Four years of creating a community for women who were left without resources after fertility treatments ended without a baby.  Free Resources & Upcoming Events Free Class: Wednesday, Sept 17: Things People Say When You're Childless (and How to Respond Without Spiraling or Shutting Down).
