Have you ever wondered how your REI chose your specific protocol, and how they think about reducing your chances of getting OHSS? 

Some people are more at risk for OHSS than others, and a lot can be done on the front end in terms of prevention.

We have learned so much about OHSS prevention and treatment over the last 10-15 years. In this episode, I share my thought process when thinking about how to balance safety and success, and how to get people back to living their lives sooner.

We are told that the rate limiting step in IVF is usually embryo creation. However, we are also learning that the uterine environment needs to be optimal to allow for an embryo to implant and thrive. 

In this episode, I cover the following:

• the definition of adenomyosis
• why we should care as pertains to fertility treatment
• imaging findings suggestive of adenomyosis
• clinical situations in which lupron suppression could be considered

My goal is to empower you with knowledge and for you to have the most efficient and successful fertility journey possible.

I'm feeling all the feels--grateful, inspired, empowered. 

In this episode, we celebrate together! 

I discuss the wins that clients of mine have experienced, not just in terms of pregnancy success, but also in terms of living more empowered, joyful lives.

What would it look like if you, too, could overcome limiting beliefs, access joy and lightness, and end the rumination loops which currently rule your mind?  

I also discuss the following techniques to facilitate these transformations:

• embodiment and feeling our feelings
• authentic hope
• mindful self compassion

We celebrate how the Love and Science community ends the isolation which is inherent in the fertility journey. There is no reason to suffer in silence when we can help each other through.

How many times has a test result or bad news completely destroyed your day or week? It's human nature to allow external events to influence our emotions and moods. However, there may be more tools available to help us through these times than we currently realize. 

At Love and Science, we talk a lot about embodiment, feeling our feelings, and calming our nervous system. And yet, so many of us were never taught these tools for navigating life's "messy middle." What if we could access our inner peace and power on a daily basis? And what if I told you that daily meditation could give you this?

In this episode, Dr. Rashmi Schramm, a board certified family physician, certified coach and podcast host, shines a light on several thousand year old practices which can help to up-level your fertility journey and create a more energetic and fulfilling life. Imagine if you could experience this, too. You certainly deserve it.

How are you feeling on the scale of overwhelm? Do you find yourself second guessing seemingly simple decisions such as what to eat and when (or when not) to have sex?
If so, you're not alone. Every day I am asked dozens of questions about how not to mess up an IVF cycle.

In this episode we cover decisions about the following:

• Food
• Alcohol
• Sex
• Illness
• Travel

My hope is that I can empower you to understand what is in the realm of normal, and what not to stress out about. The bottom line is to listen to your body and live your life, within just a few common sense parameters.

Let me take the burden from you so that you can enjoy your life, and not merely survive it while you're undergoing fertility treatments and navigating your pathway to parenthood.

Today we discuss a sad and sensitive topic: how to move forward after being diagnosed with a miscarriage.

We discuss:

• the epidemiology of miscarriage
• the treatment options once a miscarriage is diagnosed
• special circumstances such as euploid embryos and pregnancies of unknown location
• potential next steps in terms of testing and/or treatment
• finding emotional support to deal with the grief and move forward along the fertility journey

Have you ever worried about being THAT patient, with too many questions and off-putting your REI? You don’t want to be a “difficult patient,”  but you also feel you’re not quite getting what you need in terms of your fertility care. 

How do we navigate being physician patients—transitioning from being responsible for everyone’s care, and yet finding a safe space to let go and trust another physician (or physicians) to take care of us along the journey?

If this resonates with you, listen to this episode. It’s filled with practical questions to help you reflect on your current experience with your REI team, and how to figure out if there is anything else you need to feel confident and trusting in your path moving forward. You deserve the family you have dreamed of, and please trust me when I say it’s not all up to you!

Perhaps you’ve been told the maxim that you need 2-3 euploid embryos per desired live birth before you can start transferring embryos. 

In this controversial episode, I challenge that thinking and provide my more nuanced view of this important and complicated topic. Let us all move toward an abundantly practical mindset.
