When patients say, “My body is rejecting my embryos,” … what do they really mean? This week on FertiliTEA with Dr. D, we’re diving into the fascinating (and often misunderstood) role of immunology in fertility and IVF.

Dr. D breaks down:

How the immune system protects the body, yet must “tolerate” an embryo during pregnancy
The role of uterine NK cells, T-regulatory cells, and inflammation in implantation
What autoimmune conditions (like lupus, Hashimoto’s, or rheumatoid arthritis) may mean for fertility outcomes
Which tests and treatments are evidence-based vs. still experimental
How lifestyle and disease management factor into reproductive immunology

🎙️ No “Spill the Tea” this week, but you can always send your questions to [email protected], they might be featured in a future episode!
