Jessica’s Journey Through Male Factor Infertility (MFI) & PCOS


Listen Later

Jessica and her husband started trying four years ago for a baby. After six months of trying without success, she sought care from her OBGYN. Originally she was diagnosed with PCOS, which she took a self resolution approach by controlling her diet and incorporating low intensity exercise. After another six months of negative pregnancy tests, Jessica moved forward with deeper testing.


Her OB suggested they start with medicated cycles. At this point, she also suggested her husband take a semen analysis.

Tune in to follow their journey through a urological surgery and multiple rounds of IVF.
