Infertile AF: Infertility and Modern Family Building

Model and Wellness Influencer Tess Annique Souray


Listen Later

Today, Ali is talking to model and wellness influencer Tess Annique Souray about her family building journey, which began when, at 25, she was told that her only chance to have a baby was through IVF. Tess talks openly about her sobriety and recovery; how she knew "absolutely nothing" about her fertility (like so many of us); doing treatment during COVID; her mental health; and her OHSS. She also talks about doing IVF; how she and her husband navigated the journey together; having a devastating miscarriage at 10 weeks; putting her phone on "do not disturb" for three months; and getting pregnant again (she is 20-plus weeks along today).

RECEPTIVA DX

ReceptivaDx is the only test that can identify endometriosis, progesterone resistance and endometritis in a single sample, all causes for unexplained infertility and thus success rates of IVF treatments. ReceptivaDx includes BCL6, a marker that identifies uterine inflammation most often associated with asymptomatic (silent) endometriosis. BCL6 is found in more than 50% of women with unexplained infertility and over 65% of women with two or more IVF failures. If positive for the ReceptivaDx test, treatment options can improve the chances for a successful live birth 5 fold!
