When should you see a fertility doctor? And do you really have to wait 6 or 12 months? In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, Jess explains the general fertility-evaluation guidelines, when it may make sense to seek help sooner, what happens during a fertility evaluation, and why making an appointment doesn't mean you're committing to IVF. Pasted markdown In this episode 01:28 When should you see a fertility doctor?The 12-month guideline for women under 35; the 6-month guideline at 35 and older; why women over 40 may want a more immediate evaluation; and why these timelines are guidelines, not rules. Current ASRM guidance supports these timing recommendations.  ASRM 03:23 When you shouldn't necessarily waitIrregular or absent cycles, suspected endometriosis, uterine or tubal concerns, possible male-factor infertility, and medical histories that may warrant earlier evaluation. 04:19 What happens during a fertility evaluation?Medical and reproductive history, potential evaluation of ovulation and ovarian reserve, the uterus and fallopian tubes, and why semen evaluation matters when a male partner is contributing to conception. ASRM recommends parallel evaluation of both partners when applicable. 06:38 Why more fertility testing isn't always betterThe problem with ordering every available fertility test; why testing should answer a specific question; and asking what you would actually do differently because of a result. 08:34 “But I just feel like something isn't right”Making room for intuition without assuming every fear indicates a medical problem; when to start a conversation with your OB-GYN; and one question you can bring to your appointment. 09:36 5 questions to ask before making the appointmentYour age and how long you've been trying; whether your cycles are regular; your medical and reproductive history; your partner's reproductive health; and what you're hoping to learn.

Why can infertility make it so difficult to trust your body? In this episode of the Her Fertility podcast, Jess explores how fertility tracking, testing, treatment, pregnancy loss, and uncertainty can change your relationship with your body, and why rebuilding body trust doesn't have to mean believing your body will get pregnant. In This Episode 00:38 Why infertility can change your relationship with your body When your body goes from simply being your body to something you're constantly analyzing How pregnancy loss, failed treatment, or a fertility diagnosis can deepen distrust Why your experience doesn't need to be compared with anyone else's 01:18 What taught you not to trust your body? Why distrust usually has a story The shift from listening to your body to monitoring it The emotional consequence of constantly being measured 04:46 “My body failed me” Why uncertainty makes us search for explanations When your body becomes the easiest place to put the blame The difference between “something happened in my body that I didn't want” and “my body betrayed me” 06:16 Body trust doesn't mean trusting yourself to get pregnant Why forcing yourself into certainty can feel incongruent Moving away from fertility affirmations you don't actually believe Smaller, more honest ways to begin rebuilding trust 10:32 Has your body become a fertility project? The endless urge to eat better, exercise differently, add supplements, eliminate foods, meditate, or “regulate better” Caring for your body vs. constantly trying to correct it What happens when your relationship with your body becomes conditional 11:54 How to start rebuilding trust Listening for signals that have nothing to do with fertility Responding to hunger, fatigue, tension, boundaries, movement, space, and connection Creating small experiences of “I heard you” instead of “Are you working yet?” 14:27 Your body is more than where infertility is happening Moving from “Why are you doing this to me?” toward “We're going to get through this” Starting with neutrality instead of forcing body love Learning to listen without constantly grading yourself Take the Free 2-Minute Quiz If infertility feels like it's taking over, take the free Her Fertility quiz to discover the pattern you're experiencing right now and what may help you move through this phase of your fertility journey.

What does AMH actually tell you about your fertility? In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, Jess breaks down what AMH measures, what ovarian reserve really means, how AMH is used during IVF, and what a low (or high) AMH can and cannot tell you about egg quality, natural conception, and your fertility future.  In This Episode 00:34 What is AMH? What anti-Müllerian hormone is How AMH relates to the follicles in your ovaries Why AMH gives us an estimate rather than an exact egg count 02:11 Ovarian reserve vs. fertility What “ovarian reserve” actually means Why ovarian reserve is primarily about quantity Why “low AMH” and “low fertility” aren't equivalent statements Pasted text 04:28 Why fertility clinics use AMH How AMH can help predict ovarian response during IVF Using AMH for treatment planning Why potential egg yield isn't the same thing as likelihood of pregnancy Pasted text 08:46 Does low AMH mean poor egg quality? Why egg quantity and egg quality are different What AMH doesn't tell you about your eggs Why low AMH doesn't automatically mean you can't conceive naturally Pasted text 10:38 What low and high AMH can mean Why very low AMH can still be clinically important Why low AMH isn't synonymous with “you can't get pregnant” Why higher AMH isn't automatically better Looking at AMH within your complete fertility picture Pasted text 12:00 Should you try to increase your AMH? Why changing the number itself shouldn't necessarily be the goal Being cautious about supplements, diets, detoxes, and protocols promising to raise AMH The more useful question: What does this number change about the decisions I need to make? Pasted text 13:32 Questions to ask your fertility doctor What does my AMH tell you? What doesn't it tell you? How do my age, AFC, and other fertility testing affect your interpretation? Does my AMH change what you recommend we do next—and why?

Terrified to do another embryo transfer after a failed transfer or pregnancy loss? In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, Jess explores what it actually means to be “ready” to try again, why fear doesn't automatically mean you're not ready, and how to consider your medical, practical, and emotional readiness before deciding what comes next. In This Episode [03:40] Does being afraid mean you're not ready? Why another embryo transfer can feel completely different after a previous transfer or loss Wanting another chance while simultaneously feeling terrified Why fear isn't automatically a “no” [05:15] Are you medically ready? Questions to discuss with your fertility clinic Understanding what changed after your previous transfer Getting enough information to understand what you're consenting to and why Pasted text [06:53] Are you practically ready? Appointments, medication, work, finances, childcare, travel, and the waiting period Why “I'm not ready” isn't always purely emotional Giving yourself permission to consider what another transfer requires from your actual life Pasted text [08:27] What does emotional readiness actually mean? Why emotional readiness doesn't require being fearless Considering whether you have the capacity and support to move through another transfer Why you don't have to prove you could gracefully handle the worst outcome before allowing yourself to hope Pasted text [10:06] What are you actually afraid of? Failed implantation, pregnancy loss, using a remaining embryo, the two-week wait, losing yourself, and being afraid to hope Why different fears need different kinds of support When fear about the next transfer may also contain grief from the last one Pasted text [12:37] How do you know when you're ready? Why readiness may be quieter than “I'm not scared anymore” Why waiting isn't failure and moving forward isn't proof that you've healed Making the decision from a place that feels like yours Pasted text [14:00] The four questions to ask yourself before another transfer What do I know? What am I afraid of? What would help me feel supported? If I knew I was allowed to be afraid and move forward anyway, what would I want to do?

Can you actually measure egg quality? And how do you know if poor egg quality is a problem for you? In this Dear Jess episode, Jess breaks down what fertility testing can and cannot tell you about egg quality, what may be learned during IVF, and what to consider before spending hundreds of dollars on supplements intended to improve it.    In This Episode 00:59 How do you know if you have poor egg quality? Why “How can I improve my egg quality?” may be starting one question too late Why there isn't currently a simple test that gives you an “egg quality score” What AMH and antral follicle count actually tell us and what they don't   03:12 What does “egg quality” actually mean? What practitioners generally mean when they talk about egg quality The role of chromosomal competence Why age gives us information about probability, rather than directly inspecting your individual eggs   04:59 What can IVF tell us about egg quality? What your fertility clinic can observe after egg retrieval Maturity, fertilization, embryo development, and blastocyst development Why even IVF doesn't necessarily give us one simple answer for why an egg, embryo, or cycle did or didn't work   07:18 Can you actually improve egg quality? Why there isn't a protocol that can guarantee you'll “fix” your eggs Supporting your overall health versus trying to perfect your fertility Why Jess is cautious about promises to improve egg quality in three months   09:01 Before you buy another egg-quality supplement Why being pro-individualized supplementation isn't the same as believing every woman needs an “egg quality protocol” Five questions to ask before adding another supplement How “it might help your egg quality” can become an incredibly expensive idea   10:20 What to ask instead of “How do I fix my eggs?” Separating what we know, what we estimate, and what we assume Asking what evidence-informed steps make sense for your circumstances Why there may not always be another thing you need to add Separating what you can support, what medicine can measure, what science can estimate, and what none of us can control   Have a Question for Dear Jess?

When Have I Researched Enough? In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, I am answering your question around research.

Dear Jess, “Does stress really affect my fertility?” In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, I am answering your questions. Yes, research shows stress can impact fertility, but stress is complex, dynamic, and bidirectional because infertility itself is stressful, so being stressed is not the reason you are infertile. Together, we dive into how uncertainty drives the mind to seek control through endless researching, scrolling, and supplement buying, and offers a compass question: are you getting useful information or trying to create certainty where it isn’t available? support is about helping you through a hard experience, not achieving a perfect nervous system to get pregnant Step 1: identify your specific stress source Step 2: ask what you truly need Step 3: choose one grounding regulating habit that genuinely works for you, like her client Heather using painting. 02:08 What Stress Really Means 04:24 Why Infertility Feels Stressful 07:32 The Mind Seeks Certainty 08:35 A Simple Compass Question 09:57 You Deserve Support 11:19 Three Steps to Try Today Her Fertility Support: Where is your fertility blocked?

In this Dear Jess episode, I answer your question about feeling defeated during infertility. I break down how the subconscious mind works to protect us from repeated pain, why thoughts like "this isn't meant for me" aren't actually true reflections of what's possible, and I introduces the concept of the "fertility triangle"  the idea that conception involves three parties (you, your partner, and the soul you're calling in) and why releasing some control isn't the same as giving up. In this episode: Why the subconscious mind records painful experiences as "fact" and tries to protect you from repeat pain How to separate a protective thought from your true desire The "fertility triangle" framework and why you're not the only writer of this story Why feeling defeated doesn't mean you're doing something wrong Submit your own question for a future Dear Jess episode: click here Take the quiz to learn where you most need support right now: take the quiz Connect with me on TikTok: @herfertility.support   Jess Tims is a researcher, educator, and creator of Her Fertility Support.

Fertility Nurse Laura Weppler on IVF, Emotional Support & Why Your ‘Fertility Village’ Matters. On the Her Fertility Podcast, host Jess interviews Laura Weppler, a nurse with 12 years in fertility care and an alum of the Her Fertility Certification Program, about her dual perspective as a fertility clinic professional and IVF patient. Laura shares her infertility journey including miscarriage, surgeries, a torn cervix, anxiety about carrying a pregnancy, and needing multiple embryo transfers before success. They discuss the critical gap in fertility care: education and emotional support, the importance of human connection (especially as people turn to Google and AI like ChatGPT for “crystal ball” answers), and the value of integrating Western and holistic approaches rather than choosing all-or-nothing. Laura now runs Rooted Fertility Co, supports clients one-on-one, and co-hosts the podcast Fertility Nurses Unfiltered to give patients an insider look at clinics and spark system improvements, while encouraging listeners to “build your village” of support beyond the clinic. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:50 Laura’s Nursing Path 01:10 Her IVF Journey 04:11 Human Connection vs AI 05:29 Why She Got Certified 06:46 Blending East and West 07:44 New Podcast Launch 08:56 Nurses Power Clinics 11:48 Build Your Support Village 12:24 Where to Find Laura 12:59 Final Thanks and Reviews   Connect with Laura Instagram: @rootedfertility_co Website: https://rootedfertilityco.com  Ready for support that meets you where you are?

"Player three is joining our family this summer, and I’m sharing how my road to motherhood included blood draws, X-rays, pills, injections, endless ultrasounds, and negative test after negative test—while still getting painful questions about when we’d have kids. Unexplained infertility felt isolating and uncertain, like chasing an oasis that disappeared every month." - Kelsey In this Her Fertility Podcast episode, I talk with Kelsey, a client I supported through unexplained infertility and multiple IUI cycles while trying to get pregnant. She shares how reaching out—despite skepticism and keeping the journey private—helped her mental health, her relationship dynamic, and her ability to stay hopeful through failed cycles. We worked on regulating her nervous system, addressing fear and doubt, and using grounding and visualization practices, and today she’s pregnant and expecting her first baby later this year. 00:02 Unexplained Infertility Pain  02:01 Starting IUI Treatments 03:14 First Session Breakthrough 06:40 IUI Before Vs After 08:21 What A Fertility Doula Does 09:30 Visualizations And Mind Body  Connect with Jess: www.tiktok.com/@herfertility.support  Find fertility support at www.herfertility.support/free Disclaimer: The Her Fertility podcast is for general educational and informational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
