Ali is so excited to share her conversation with the iconic figure skater and Olympic Gold Medalist Tara Lipinski, who is going to tell us all about her five-year-long infertility journey, which she describes as “hell.” Tara and her husband Todd recently launched their own podcast, called Unexpecting, and today, she is talking about getting her period at the age of 25, meeting her husband, discovering she has endometriosis, starting the IVF journey, her devastating miscarriages, and where she and Todd are 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!
