As a Woman - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is the most informational podcast I’ve found for infertility! She teaches you the science behind everything instead of just assuming your not smart enough to understand. I love that she is an unbiased opinion about fertility treatments and politics around birth control/IVF. Thank you Natalie for teaching me so much about my body and how to be an advocate for myself on this journey!!

Listening to Katie’s story hit so personal for me. I’m 40 and just finished my 1st cycle of egg freezing with 1 viable egg. I felt so dejected at first but had to be reminded 1 is better than none. All the emotions you mentioned in your story, I felt this to my bone! I’m learning to allow my body grace and to be patient. I’m looking to do another cycle, but until then, I’m proud of my 1 frozen egg ♥️

I can’t accurately put into words how frustrating it is that I’ve known so little about my own body for 33 years. This podcast is exceptionally digestible and educational. Thank you so very much for taking the time to answer the endless questions I have had and provide an education that every woman should have of their own bodies regardless of wanting children.

Learned a lot thru this pod, thorough information that’s been helpful for me. One thing is I wish the sound quality was louder tho, other apps/sounds when I listen to this pod are so loud bc I have to turn the volume up so much to hear.

She provides alot of super valuable information but I think that for someone who talks frequently about endometriosis and donor conception she leaves a couple of essential things about out of the conversation.

For endometriosis she does not talk about the difference between excision and ablation surgery or how to choose a surgeon which is pretty important in fertility and pain outcomes. She also talks about the retrograde menstruation theory of causing endo without talking about other theories about causes of endo or talking about the limitations of the retrograde menstruation theory.

For donor conception she does not talk about the problems with sibling pods in the triple digits and lack of regulation around sibling caps or fertility fraud. She does not talk about how donor conceived children feel about being donor conceived and how they feel about known vs anonymous donors.
