Fertility Docs Uncensored is hosted by Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center, and Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center. In this second installment of our two-part series, the Fertility Docs continue their deep dive into the topics covered in our upcoming book. This episode explores the “in-between” stage after egg retrieval and before embryo transfer—a time that can feel both exciting and uncertain. We’ll walk you through the concerns patients face, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and explain how to prepare for a frozen embryo transfer. We also compare fresh transfers with frozen transfers, so you’ll know what to expect in both scenarios. But the IVF journey doesn’t end there. We’ll discuss the range of emotions that come with a positive pregnancy test—and the difficult moments when the outcome isn’t what you hoped for. Beyond infertility, IVF can serve many purposes, from egg freezing for future family building to using a gestational carrier. We’ll also explore when donor eggs, sperm, or embryos may be needed, and how IVF supports LGBTQIA+ family building. Finally, we’ll highlight the importance of genetic testing to prevent inherited conditions. This podcast was sponsored by IVF Florida.
