Episode Summary

If you're currently going through IVF, you've had rounds that failed, or you're considering it, this episode is for you. I answer the questions I get asked most: how do you know if IVF is actually your next step, how many rounds is too many, and what testing should you do beforehand. I walk through the mistakes I see most often: going in without knowing why you're not conceiving, rushing into another round without retesting what didn't work, and pushing through a cycle that was never going to succeed. You'll also learn what a properly tracked cycle should actually look like, why "normal" labs often aren't, and why detoxing after IVF isn't about a dramatic cleanse; it's about helping your body reset. Part 2 will cover the transfer and what to look for in embryo quality.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• IVF not working doesn't mean you're broken; it means the treatment wasn't right for you right now
• Know why you're not getting pregnant first. If it's not happening naturally, something is missing
• 2-3 rounds should be enough if you're properly prepped; more usually means something was missed
• There's no such thing as truly "normal" labs when you're struggling to conceive
• A properly tracked cycle tells you what's working; without it you're guessing
• Detoxing after IVF just means helping your body drain and reset, not a dramatic cleanse
