108. Fertility Struggles; Egg Freezing, IUI vs IVF, Miscarriages and More with Dr. Lora Shahine

Big Kid Problems

Remember when all we cared about was PREVENTING pregnancy? Well now that I'm in my 30’s, I’ve seen a new big kid problem arise, and that is having trouble getting pregnant. There is a lot we don’t learn about when it comes to our fertility and that's why this week I’m bringing in the big guns, Dr. Lora Shahine. She is a Double Board-Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist, Bestselling Author, and Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Washington so needless to say - she knows her sh*t! We’re going to talk about the things she wants ALL of us know about fertility, whether you are actively trying or have no idea if you even want kids yet. We’ll talk about fertility treatments (where to get started, IUI vs. IVF), Egg Freezing, we’re even going to talk about miscarriages in this episode, which I can tell you as someone in their 30’s - is wayyy more common than I thought. I learned a LOT in this episode and hope you do too!
