unexplained infertility

Today we chat to Jisella who gave birth to her first baby at home. After experiencing a miscarriage and unexplained infertility, Jisella delved into the world of research in order to figure out what model of care would be right for her when the time came.

Once Jisella fell pregnant with her now daughter, she knew she wanted to give birth at home. Nearing the end of her pregnancy (41 weeks), her baby turned breech. She had a successful ECV and went on to have her baby at 43+3 weeks at home.

Hi Vanessa, I am so happy you are here. And in this episode, we're talking with fan Vanessa Oly and Vanessa let's go right away. What, in a few sentences, would you say why you are passionate about helping women in their fertility struggles?

Absolutely. So comes as no surprise that I am no stranger to the women's health and women's medicine space. Being a woman, myself, having sisters, having a mother, having friends that are female, we can't help, but all feel connected when it comes to fertility, our hormones, our cycle, et cetera, and to be completely Frank, the women's health and women's medicine space. Women's health education really needs a lot of work. We're not educated the way we should be on our fertility on our cycles, our hormones, what's healthy. What's not healthy, what's normal, what's not normal. So I've really, really loved helping women with fertility, conception, birth control, et cetera, anywhere on that journey on that spectrum, helping them through their fertility, because it is paramount that we are getting that care and that education. I'll give you an example, a client that I work with, and I've heard this multiple times, which it might shock you, or even the listener hearing this, but the amount of women that have come to me in my practice after trying to conceive for months, if not years, that's really common. 

I am excited now to introduce you to Susan Portz and Susan is gonna talk with us about finding freedom in your fertility journey. 

In this episode, I'm gonna talk about the importance of the connection to your womb and that your womb is your second heart. Now it may seem strange that women on the fertility journey are disconnected from their womb, but it's not hard to spark this problem. And you may think my womb is fine, and yet being very disconnected to this body part emotionally and often, physically too. 

There is a lot of negative self-talk and it's very, very important that there is self love and self-compassion, and that's why in this interview, I talk with Dr. Shauna Shapiro, and she's gonna talk about the power of self love and the power of self compassion.

In this episode, I'm gonna talk about how doing less can make you more fertile. Do you know that doing less can impact your fertile energy? In fact, it can enhance your fertile energy over upon. Over the past 20 years, I have found that the more relaxed my clients become the quicker they conceive, because here's, I'm gonna share a study with you. That woman, with higher levels of the stress biomarker have a twofold, increased risk of infertility. And it makes sense because the stress does so much to your body. And in short, it takes away the energy you have to create your baby. It gives the wrong message on all levels to your body and your body is wise, right? If I hear from so many of my clients, there's this huge to-do list of all the different things they feel they have to do to increase their fertility.

Brody bravely opens up about his and Holly's journey with infertility and what led them to IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). He talks about what IVF is, the costs, the hormones, the side effects, the mental load of such a journey and what he did and did not expect from this all-consuming time of life. 

While many routes of IVF exist, we focus on the IVF journey of those who have unexplained infertility: "When infertile couples or individuals have undergone all appropriate tests and no cause for their infertility is found". So while some couples may not have viable sperm or eggs to contribute to IVF, this episode discusses the journey a couple may experience if you do have those two components to contribute but still struggle to conceive. 

So many couples lives are upended by infertility. It is invasive and emotional and all-consuming of your time, energy and physical and emotional health. So take a listen and see what Brody has to say about staying hopeful through a decade of trying to conceive and how to keep your relationship strong as well. 

To those trying to conceive...baby dust! We hope you get your rainbow baby!
