Have you ever wondered why you feel so irritable all of the time? Have you ever gotten a call from your fertility clinic which made you go through the roof? Did someone in your life say something which set you off and ruined your day? 

These are common experiences for women physicians with infertility. Today, Dr. Arpita discusses how we can recognize anger when it’s present, understand what it is telling us, and learn how to meet our own needs. In this way, we can move forward in a much better energetic space, with more joy and energy to focus on what we truly want to in life.  

Arpita Gupta DePalma, MD founded Thought Work, MD to help physicians and professional women learn how to identify, manage, and then let go of what is not serving them through transformational mindset coaching.

Arpita specializes in helping clients with anger management, time management, perfectionism and self-worth issues, parenting and cultural disparities, business development, and any other area they want to up-level in their lives.

Have you ever read online about “silent endometriosis” and wondered if you might have it? Today I review what endometriosis is, why it matters, how to diagnose it, and how to treat it for optimal fertility outcomes.

Have you ever stared at a semen analysis report and not known how to analyze it?

This was me until my Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Fellowship.
There are so many lines and reference ranges—what does it all mean?

This episode breaks down male factor infertility into understandable clinical pearls. I review the most important components of a semen analysis, when it should be repeated, and when labs and a referral to a Reproductive Urologist is warranted.

I review some of the controversies and newer devices, and the importance of using intracytoplasmic sperm injection when warranted.

Encore of the very first episode.

We explore how we are not alone when we find ourselves with a fertility threatening diagnosis. We discuss how an infertility diagnosis can affect our feelings, our relationships, and our perspective of life in general. 

At Love and Science, we empower, we educate through evidence, and we use mindful self compassion to start to heal from the inside out.

We discuss a few clients and patients who have benefitted from using coaching tools to re-discover their values and identity, to persevere in the face of adversity, and to help re-attune their mindset to a perspective which serves them.

If you are dealing with infertility, have you ever been on the receiving end of an insensitive comment? (Of course you have. I don't know anyone who hasn't).

If you are the friend of someone with infertility, have you ever said something well-meaning which went down like a lead balloon? (You probably have, even if you don't know it yet.)

Today we discuss my top 5 strategies for how to support a friend with infertility, especially after they have received good news. It is impossible to understand the perspective of someone with infertility or recurrent loss if you haven't gone through it yourself, and this episode will help you be the most supportive friend/family member possible.

In addition, by keeping gratitude top of mind, you will be able to see the friendship in terms of the long-term gift it is, and learn how to approach the different seasons as they come.

In this episode, I discuss how you and your partner can come together and leverage your strengths to face the fertility journey together. So often, this process drives a wedge between couples, and in this episode I provide strategies for improved communication and understanding. You will find ways to honor both of your experiences and remember your shared values, even if in the present you are approaching this process from different perspectives. I will help you figure out each of your needs and make an action plan moving forward. Lastly, I will discuss how gratitude can up-level your connectedness as a team, to get through to the other side stronger together.

In this episode, I delve into the topic of recurrent pregnancy loss. If you suffer from this, you understand well the range of feelings and fears which can exist, often (and especially when) no diagnosis is found. I review the evaluation and coping strategies to reframe this situation. I see you, and you are not alone! 

Rooting for you always,
Coach Erica

Have you ever wondered what your ovarian reserve values mean, and how your REI uses them to make decisions about your fertility care? Perhaps your OBGYN rotation feels like eons away. This episode will help to go back to reproductive physiology to empower and enlighten you. These concepts matter, especially as they pertain to your next right thing. Rooting for you always!

As most of you know by now, one of my three pillars at Love and Science is evidence. My goal is to empower physician women to make evidence-based choices which will positively affect their fertility journey and their ultimate outcome. 

Today, we discuss embryo grading and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy. It can feel a lot like alphabet soup. As physicians we often judge ourselves when we don't understand the vocabulary, especially when it pertains to our own care. I hope you find this episode inspiring and empowering. Rooting for you always!
