  • Ep.24: The Fertility Ignorance Tax: What you don’t know is costing You

    In this episode of Fertility Unfiltered, we’re unpacking something no one talks about—the hidden cost of doing nothing. From putting off testing, to assuming your age = egg health, to hoping IVF will ‘fix it’—every delay, every piece of guesswork, adds up.
