48. Secondary Infertility: Myths, Facts, and Hope (part 1)

Secondary Infertility: What It Is, Why It’s Happening, and What to Do First (Part 1)

In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, I’m in the hot seat answering questions about secondary infertility. I am interviewed by Sami of Good Enough Matrescence (GEM), a supportive group for moms. This two-part episode puts me in the hot seat to answer their juicy questions.

You'll hear why I suggest early testing (hormone panel, semen analysis, optional AMH/HSG), why you should discuss cortisol with your doctor, why DNA fragmentation testing is essential, and how to support a friend without making it about yourself.
