I have PCOS and used to get my period only two or three times a year. After getting married, I became pregnant three months later, followed by another pregnancy a year later that ended in an ectopic pregnancy, resulting in the loss of one fallopian tube.
After trying for six years and undergoing two IUI treatments, I finally got pregnant with beautiful triplet girls. Alhamdulilah.
Great conversation. As a 61 year old black woman, who unsuccessfully tried IVF in my late thirties, I wish I had this information back then.
Prayers for Jeannette that she will be able to expand her family.
Prayers for Mona that she will be able to have a baby.
Prayers for no complications for either & that their children will be whole & healthy.
God open & bless the fruitfulness of their wombs in Jesus' name!
Amen 🙏🏾
Amen ❤
Thank you for this episode. This helped me understand a lot more about infertility that I didn’t know before. I was also diagnosed with PCOS in my late twenties, and before that in my late teens I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I never had issues with my period until I started taking medications for my mental health. I found out that a lot of mental health medications can affect hormone levels such as prolactin levels and can cause irregular periods. I have had to changed to different medications and/or started on birth control while on certain psych medications and after telling my doctors that I was concerned about not having a period for long periods of time such as several months to a whole year. With that said, Infertility has been a concern for me as I get older and with having those conditions. So, I’m glad you all had this topic on your podcast.
Absolutely amazing conversation. Please invite the Dr. to come back and talk about perimenopause and menopause.
This is a great convo, and very informative. It was great to learn more about IVF. A fan of you both. I’m 35 and just had b/g twins. They’re 7 months old now. My pregnancy was very complicated, but we’re blessed to have both our babies here. I agree that there are great doctors out there who advocate for black moms and all moms, regardless of their race, takes research, talking to others, but they’re out there.
I believe chemicals in our food and toxins in our environment have something to do with how the systems in our bodies have declined... But course I'm not a doctor...
Which systems have declined?
@@cocalita03 Reproductive system
@@missa7777 oh? ok, I don't think that's true though.
@@cocalita03there some research behind ths
I agree and can contest to that as someone who has also taken the route of IVF.
This is so insightful!! Loved it, infertility is so common these days
Such a great explanation of the fertility areas and terminology. Thanks for having this episode!
OMG this is for me. I’m turning 35 this year😢
Such a great conversation. So clearly explained. Thank you! 💖
Excellent episode
This is really good information. I wish this was out back in the 90’s. I have PCOS and this explains a lot! 😊
Thank you all for talking about this topic. I had my children twenty years apart not planned . 24 and 4 both naturally with the help of progesterone shots . God bless you all and I pray that everyone on this platform will be able to expand their family naturally or with medical help.
Amen ❤
Wonderful conversation 👌🏿.
great conversation!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
The only question I have is what is the point of freezing your eggs if it will be harder for your body to stay pregrant as you age? Like lets say you freeze your eggs at 30 but want your first baby at 45, is freezing your eggs a bad idea then? Is freezing your egg a better solution for secondary infertility than primary infertility? I have a lot of thoughts
Freezing your eggs at a younger age cuts out one big issue, which is egg quality. That is often a huge concern for older women going through treatment because the older we get, the less "good" eggs we have.
@cocalita03 yes I understand that. but does using a younger egg help reduce the risk of pregnancy complications that come with older age? if i have a young egg but still experience a miscarriage or major complications in my late 30s/40s then it doesn't seem worth it to me tbh. at least for the 1st baby
@@1flower161 Watch the video. It's multilayered. Part of the issue is the egg quality which decreases with age. Other issues that are not egg related but age related could be increased risk of gestational diabetes, miscarriage, preeclampsia, etc. Younger eggs do away with the egg quality issue, but it doesn't solve everything. It is still a viable option for someone who is older but wants to start a family. You can have all those things (miscarriages, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes etc) in your 20s even with great egg quality. The option is there to improve the chances.
Angelina had all her children naturally. Angelina had spontaneous natural twins
Oh well I won’t even bother now
Scare tactic cuz back in the days women was having children up and passed but 60 years old women were still getting pregnant and having children It ain't until nowadays that's all of a sudden 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 geriatric pregnancy
I think that’s seen in women who had already had a pregnancy earlier in life, not their first pregnancy later in life.
The lifestyle and diet of women and people generally was different those days than it is today
We are also living in a way more toxic environment, from foods to WiFi and so much more which has great impacts on both male and female reproductive systems.
She already talked about this. Those women were on their 6+ kids and this is coming from someone who had a grandmother who gave birth in her 40s. Having your 6th kid at 45 is different than having your 1st at 45.
Cmon, it's not hard to comprehend that aging affects fertility... 🙄
