IVF Uncovered

  The doctor's ran all the proper tests but still couldn't figure out why Allison wasn't getting pregnant. No one had answers and no one could provide her with hope. When I met Allison, she had just had her 4th failed transfer and felt really depressed. She started to think that maybe she wasn't meant to be pregnant. Listen to how we successfully prepared her for IVF and how her fertility journey...

Most of us are fed ideas of what healthy and ideal lives look like from the diet, wellness and fitness industry. For women, this tends to mean we are in constant diet mode: losing 5 pounds for the vacation, a few pounds over here for the wedding, take some off over here after the holidays. Nutrition can get especially confusing when there are so many "miracle" diets and quick fixes preaching that...

Meet Melissa…    The doctors couldn't tell Melissa exactly why she wasn't getting pregnant through IVF. Instead, they just gave her the (scary low) odds of her actually getting pregnant with her own legs and left the decision up to her. When I met her, Melissa was about to get an egg donor after two failed rounds of IVF. Listen to how we successfully prepared her for IVF and how her fertility jour...

The relationship you have with your fertility doctor is really important. But most of the time, these "relationships" tend to be one sided, where you are expected to just sit and wait for the doctor to do their magic or for science to be on your side. Now, say this with me: For a relationship to be productive, it can't be one sided.    When we think of doctors, we think of people whom we should ju...

Meet Hanna…    Hanna was doing everything perfectly to get pregnant.  Perfect diet and even quit her job to reduce the stress, but she still couldn't get pregnant.  When we met, she'd had 4 miscarriages and was preparing for IVF.  Listen to how we successfully prepared her for IVF, how "less was more" for her personal focus and intensity towards her fertility journey (because she allowed me to tak...

Meet Melanie…   She already had a daughter from IVF previously, so why was she not able to get pregnant again? When I met her she had 3 failed transfers with genetically normal embryos and a very reluctant doctor who did not want to make any changes. It was with her last embryos that we were able to get the doctor to do things differently. She credits her fertility journey with making her a better...

Meet Brittanya…   When I met her she was repeatedly told by her doctor that she had "bad eggs". In the first two egg retrievals with her doctor, she produced 2 Day 3 embryos and in the last egg retrieval, she didn't even get to fertilization of the one egg she had. Listen to this conversation about how she got over many medical issues getting in the way of her fertility treatments (and how that co...

Have you ever seen those pop-up shops around town offering egg preservation at ridiculously affordable prices? Fertility treatments can get expensive quickly.
