  • Informative

    I’ve binge listened to the entire back catalogue of podcasts. It’s been very comforting to hear about the IVF journey from someone so experienced. I feel much more prepared going into our first consultant appointment in a few weeks. Thank you Prof!

  • Patriarchal

    I did like this podcast until Prof gave the whole “just relax and it’ll happen” spiel. Oh yes, the hysterical woman just needs to take an Ativan and relax and she too will fall pregnant. That’s why refugees and prisoners of war and rape victims fall pregnant. Because of their low levels of cortisol. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

    No! If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, seek help! There could be something wrong and you’ll waste precious reproductive years “just trying to relax”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

506. Inside the Lab: How Science Is Shaping the Next Decade of IVF
Q: How do you decide when pre-genetic testing or pre-genetic screening is warranted and when it's not?
Pre-genetic testing is warranted when the embryo reaches the five-day mark and shows characteristics indicating abnormalities. Testing increases the chances of success by identifying genetically normal embryos, especially for women over 38 or those with multiple embryos.
502. When IVF Fails: Understanding Antiphospholipid Syndrome and When to Seek a Second Opinion
Q: When a cycle fails, how do you decide whether to change protocol, change the lab, or simply try again?
It depends; factors like egg quality and embryo numbers are crucial, and a review by a skilled IVF specialist is necessary.
502. When IVF Fails: Understanding Antiphospholipid Syndrome and When to Seek a Second Opinion
Q: Would the condition affect her IVF success rate? What precautions or medications should she take?
Yes, APS can increase miscarriage rates; medication like heparin or steroids may be needed during pregnancy.
504. The Breakthrough that Changed Everything: How ICSI Transformed Male Infertility
Q: Is there like a world body that oversees the ethical and procedural aspects of IVF?
There is no worldwide body, and IVF legislation is state-based in Australia, making uniformity difficult.
499. Why Australia Leads the World in IVF – Ethics, Access, and the Future of Fertility
Q: What do you see as the future of fertility treatment in the next 10 to 15 years?
There will be advancements in technology like AI and medication, but I remain skeptical about significant changes in success rates.
