Fab Fertility

In this episode I unpack a typical IVF cycle. When it begins, what appointments to expect, medication details, the infamous trigger shot and more! It is a quick listen but packed with info. Disclaimer, not all IVF cycles are outlined like this. In fact, I am currently on a completely different protocol than what I describe. However, this is the most typical and a lot of the info is consistent no matter the protocol.

Alex and I can't believe how much difference a week can make on anyone's specific infertility journey. We talk about this as it relates to my positive beta (still can't believe it) and her waiting game for genetic testing on her 4 presh embabies. We talk about the different levels of happiness you have as an infertile when people announce good news and how it directly correlates to the hope you find for yourself. Don't worry - there is some random shit thrown in too! It isn't all serious ;)

You won't want to miss learning the definition of our newest fertility acronym, WUIT! We discuss suppositories, job changes, and just not having enough time in the day.

There are so many factors at play during this very stressful time in your life. This episode dives deep into these factors, helping you discern whether or not a change might be for the better.

Natalie Crawford, MD, is SUPER WOMAN. I honestly don't know how she does it all. She is a reproductive endocrinologist, a podcast host, an entrepreneur (she just co-founded her new practice, Fora Fertility), hosts conferences for women in medicine, is ALL over social media, and has the most amazing kiddos and husband to share it all with. She doesn't make it look perfect, she makes it real. She tells us her medical school and fertility story and then gets into answering a ton of burning questions that patients like us are always DYING to ask our doctors about IVF.
