Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Really Happens to Your Embryos in an IVF Lab?
Q: How is AI currently used in embryo selection, and how do you see its role evolving?
AI provides embryo scoring to aid triage and differentiation when grades are similar, but the final decision still relies on human expertise; AI is a supportive tool, not a replacement for embryologists.
What Really Happens to Your Embryos in an IVF Lab?
Q: Could you walk us through what an embryologist does and what attracted you to this field?

What IVF Nurses Wish Every Patient Knew
Q: What makes IVF nursing so central to the patient journey?
Nurses provide the day-to-day scaffolding, ensuring consistent information, emotional support, and a strong patient–nurse relationship that helps patients feel understood and cared for throughout the process.
What IVF Nurses Wish Every Patient Knew
Q: How do you interact with patients during the 10- to 15-day wait after embryo transfer or IUI?
We encourage patients to keep life as normal as possible, provide guidance on when to exercise, and stress that stress should be minimized while still staying engaged with us for support and updates.
BV, the Vaginal Microbiome and Fertility
Q: When should someone seek specialist fertility advice if experiencing recurrent BV?
Individuals should reach out for specialist advice after six to twelve months of trying to conceive, or sooner if they are over 35.
