In this solo episode I share openly about what I've been living through - the passing of loved ones and celebrating birthdays. 

The cycle of life with death and renewal is not a topic often talked about, but I'm here for these real life conversations, and I hope you're here for them too. 

In today's talk, which I intentionally decided to release on my birthday, I open up and share some of the new insights I've gained through love and loss. May you find comfort you're not alone in whatever you may be grieving. 

At the end of this episode I read a poem called "Season" that I felt called to share. Written by Tolbert McCarroll, it gave me a lot of comfort after the passing of my mom a few years ago... and it brings comfort now. 

May you continue to honor the seasons we all experience - yearly, monthly, daily, and with each breath.

If you're on IVF path and in search of support, I offer private 1:1 and intimate group offerings. See below for ways to work with me.  

Know I'm here for you, and thank you for celebrating my birthday with me. 

Keep that light alive.

Today's topic is all about Embryos. Dr. Greene and I had this conversation recently and sharing with you here today! 

What is an embryo?  What are some of the stats of eggs, embryos and genetically tested embryos becoming a healthy baby? We cover a lot in this one - From mosaic to aneuploid embryos, to genetic testing and clinical trials. Dr. Greene informs us on good questions to ask our clinics to help with understanding the reliability of our embryos. 

One thing he advises that's worth repeating - "Be Pro-Active instead of Re-Active" as you navigate through your fertility path. 

Do you have concerns or fears about getting extra embryos? We cover this too. 

Thanks to Dr. Greene of Conceptions in Colorado for helping us make informed decisions and understand this technology a bit better.

Erin's Bio:
I'm 38 and I’ve been dealing with unexplained infertility since I was 26! I wasn’t getting a period and therefore not ovulating on my own. We went in for an IUI in 2010 and it worked! We conceived triplets and had to have a reduction to twins at 9 weeks. between that trauma and dealing with infertility and then twins at a young age my husband and I went through years of marital issues and verbal abuse. He finally decided to get help and he started seeking therapy. We hit rock bottom but came out so much stronger. Then we tried for a 3rd but again no period so we went to IVF. They said I would be the perfect candidate at 33. But we went through 3 years of treatments. 4 egg retrievals, one long miscarriage and D&C, 4 hysteroscopies, MRI’s, and 7 transfers until our last normal embryo stuck! Eriela was born in 2020 on Election Day. Currently have one last embryo but it’s mosaic and we are still debating what to do with it. My twins are now 11 so there is a 9.5 year age gap with my girls. Still actively in therapy as a married couple and working on having a period through naturopathy! I’ve had 8 since March which is more than I’ve ever had without added hormones!

Thank you again Erin! ~xo
