    Antioxidants & Fertility: COq10, NAD, Melatonin

    Ever wondered if oxygen therapy could boost fertility? Have you been told to take coenzyme Q10 while trying to conceive, or maybe melatonin? In this episode, we serve up the research on antioxidants in the fertility space, and whether they're either worth trying, a waste of money, or, in some cases, possibly doing you harm. Rebecca even puts her body on the line to test one of these antioxidants…with unexpected results. (The things we'll do for our podcast listeners!).

    It Takes Two: Intro to Male Fertility

    The days of women being solely blamed for infertility are (thankfully!) behind us. A third of cases of infertility in a couple are now attributed solely to the male, and when taken in combination with a partner's issues, that number rises up to around 50%. In this ep, we discuss fertility investigations, common male fertility problems, and what can be done to improve male fertility. We'll also touch on the growing research around male age.

    Finding Answers for Unexplained Infertility

    Unexplained infertility is a hard road to travel. And is it really unexplained, or have we just not found the cause yet? In this episode, we discuss how we might diagnose this complex condition better, when laparoscopy and tubal testing can be helpful, and whether IVF over IUI for these patients is likely to deliver a significantly better result. Also, is DNA fragmentation testing really worth it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Weight, Wellness and Fertility

    Will losing weight before fertility treatment actually increase your chance of having a baby? The answer is more complicated than you might imagine. In this episode, we talk about whether BMI matters, if weight cutoffs at clinics are fair, and the effects that either being underweight or obese can have on fertility and pregnancy. We’ll also dig into practical steps for losing weight, including the fast-moving data around injectables.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Getting Pregnant with Endometriosis

    As fertility specialists, we’d love to say we can ‘end’ endo. The truth is, we can only help you manage it— and this episode is all about how. We’ll start by talking about what endo and adenomyosis are, and the somewhat murky waters of diagnosis. We'll talk about the ways we can help you get pregnant, from surgery to medication to going straight to IVF. Just like our last 2 episodes, we’ll be framing this one in the context of our own journeys with infertility, with Dr Dev sharing her experiences with endometriosis, and her ultimate pregnancy success.

    Hypo-Hypo: When the Brain Won't Talk to the Ovaries

    What is hypothalamic hypogonadism? What causes women to lose their periods or have really long cycles? And how can we get your brain to kickstart communication with your ovaries again so you can get pregnant?  In this ep, we also share Rebecca’s personal story of hypo-hypo, and how tackling her high-exercise, high-stress lifestyle was a big part of her journey to pregnancy success.
