Fertility Docs Uncensored Today’s episode of 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 episode, the doctors are joined by reproductive therapist and IVF in Your Pocket host Alexandria Geary-Stock, LCSW, to discuss one of the most emotionally challenging parts of fertility treatment: the two-week wait for pregnancy results after the embryo transfer. Together, they explore why this period feels uniquely stressful compared to other stages of IVF and how both patients and their partners can navigate the uncertainty with practical coping strategies and emotional support. What can patients do during the two-week wait after an embryo transfer to manage anxiety and uncertainty? Why is the two-week wait often harder than waiting for egg retrieval results, embryo development, or genetic testing outcomes? Alexandria Geary-Stock shares tools, such as grounding techniques and personalized, helpful distractions, to get through this challenging time. She highlights the importance of identifying what brings comfort, whether staying busy, engaging in enjoyable activities, or practicing yoga, to reduce stress. Should you take a home pregnancy test during the two-week wait or wait for official results? The discussion explores how different approaches work for different personalities. How can partners cope with the stress of infertility and support each other effectively? This episode emphasizes vulnerability, communication, and recognizing that both partners experience anxiety. Listeners will also hear how support groups can be helpful, as well as when they may become overwhelming or counterproductive. A powerful mantra shared in this episode: “We don’t have all the answers until we have the answers.” This podcast was sponsored by the Fertility Center of Illinois-Milwaukee.
