Description

Infertility advocate and health enthusiast Adelaide White is an invaluable source of light and hope to so many on TikTok and Instagram, Dr. Shahine included. In this episode, the tables are flipped as Adelaide interviews Lora on All Things Fertility Journey, from the educational journey of a reproductive endocrinologist to the differences among the fertility treatment choices to the many causes of infertility to the heartbreak of recurrent pregnancy loss. Through it all, one message is clear: infertility and pregnancy loss are not your fault. Culturally, we have such a tendency to blame infertility on the partner who plans to carry the pregnancy, and that’s both wholly inaccurate and hugely unhelpful. Shame and guilt have no place in this process, and that’s why podcasts like Adelaide’s and Dr. Shahine’s exist, so please share widely to spread the word.  In this episode you’ll hear: [0:00] Fertility treatments with a reproductive endocrinologist — what to expect [8:43] Fertility success rates with IVF [14:16] Fertility treatments and hormone levels  [19:12] Fertility treatment options and miscarriage risk  [22:51] Miscarriage causes, egg retrieval pain, and IVF success and why recurrent pregnancy loss is not your fault  [28:06] Fertility treatments and when to seek medical help: is one year enough?  [33:30] Fertility treatment options and why advocating for oneself is so important  [40:40] Infertility and its impact on various cultures, races, and socio-economic groups [43:37] The fertility journey and advocacy Resources mentioned:  Adelaide’s podcast The Waiting Room: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-waiting-room/id1588061814 Adelaide’s Instagram: www.instagram.com/adelaide_awhite/?hl=en Dr. Shahine’s books, including Not Broken: drlorashahine.com/books  Stay Up to Date in Fertility News and Events:  Weekly Newsletter Follow @drlorashahine Instagram | YouTube | Tiktok | Her Books
