Manage episode 481407581 series 3663610
I’m so glad you’re here for part two of our fertility testing series. If you're feeling brushed off by your provider, frustrated by vague lab results, or just intuitively know something deeper is going on in your body—this episode is for you.
In this conversation, we’re digging into how to actually get the lab work you need—whether you’re just starting your fertility journey or you’ve been on it a while. I’ll guide you through how to approach providers with clarity and confidence, and share tools to help you step into your personal power—so you can advocate for yourself with more ease (and less stress). We’ll also talk about how to protect your energy during appointments and how to emotionally prepare for what lab results might bring up.
If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, make sure you go back—because we covered essential timing, the difference between normal and optimal, and how to understand what’s really being tested. This second part builds directly on that foundation.
