“Did you know?

The success of IVF is not determined by the number of eggs retrieved alone.

Several factors play a critical role, including:

• Egg quality and maternal age
• Sperm quality
• Embryo development in the laboratory
• Endometrial receptivity
• Adherence to the treatment plan and a healthy lifestyle

Advances in assisted reproductive technology, including embryo vitrification and improved embryo selection methods, have significantly enhanced outcomes for many patients. However, every fertility journey is unique and requires an individualized approach.”

“Egg donation gave me my daughters.

But before it gave me my daughters, it asked me to rethink what I thought motherhood was going to look like.

That’s a part of fertility treatment we don’t talk about enough.

There are medical decisions.

And then there are the decisions that reach much deeper.
Identity.
Genetics.
Grief for the path you thought you would take.
Hope for a path you hadn’t imagined.

I eventually became a mum to twins through egg donation.

Four years later, at 42, I conceived their little sister naturally.

My path to motherhood wasn’t straightforward.

But it taught me something I carry into Flowering Fertility every day:

There isn’t one right path to parenthood.
Sometimes the path changes.
The dream doesn’t have to.”

“As a woman and a fertility lawyer who sees a lot of donor-egg surrogacies, this has to be one of the clearest explanations about age-related female fertility decline I have seen.

One of my biggest concerns is that the power dynamics between intending parents are rarely unaffected by an egg donation. The non-genetic mother can often find herself in dire straits if the relationship breaks down, especially if there was no marriage.

I completely understand why many women put off starting families, but I think if there was more awareness of basic fertility health, the outcomes would be much better. It would probably put people like me out of work, but that’ll definitely be progress!”

Quoting Montgomery Fertility Center’s post:

“The increased risk of miscarriage with age, even in healthy women, stems from a fascinating biological process.

Egg progenitor cells undergo division while in the mother’s womb, creating cells with 46 chromosomes. To prepare for fertilization, these chromosomes must be halved to 23. This process relies on spindles, which start the pulling apart and then pause, essentially freezing the state of the chromosomes.

Imagine stretching a rubber band and keeping it that way for years. Over time, it becomes brittle and prone to snapping. Similarly, these spindles, frozen for decades, degrade. When they eventually try to pull apart chromosomes, errors can occur, leading to incorrect chromosome numbers in the egg. Fertilizing an egg with these errors can result in embryos with chromosomal abnormalities, which are a common cause of miscarriage. The longer this ‘frozen’ state persists, and the more it’s exposed to environmental factors, the higher the chance of these critical errors occurring.

On this episode of Housecall, host Dr. Steven Kariya of Montgomery Municipal Cable (MMCTV) speaks with Dr. Oluyemisi Famuyiwa about fertility health and what to consider regarding the health of your eggs.”

“A quiet inefficiency in how we approach infertility deserves more attention.

When a couple struggles to conceive, the evaluation still, too often, begins and ends with the woman. Months of investigation and treatment pass before anyone asks the man to do a semen analysis, a test that is simple, inexpensive, and quick.

Male factor contributes to roughly half of infertility. Yet it is frequently the last thing assessed rather than the first.

The consequence is not just clinical; it is human. Couples lose time they cannot afford, and women often carry the entire weight of investigation, and sometimes the blame, for something that was never theirs alone to solve.

The correction is straightforward. Evaluate both partners together, from the start. It shortens the path to a diagnosis, it distributes the emotional load fairly, and it simply reflects the biology.

Infertility is a shared condition. Our approach to investigating it should be too.

“Most women start thinking about fertility too late.

Not because they don’t care.
Because we’ve taught them that fertility only matters when they’re trying to get pregnant.

I see it differently.

To me, fertility isn’t just about conception.
It’s one of the clearest reflections of a woman’s overall health.

Long before someone starts trying for a baby, the body is already sending signals.

• Irregular cycles
• Persistent fatigue
• Poor sleep
• Chronic stress
• Insulin resistance
• Changes in weight or energy that don’t quite make sense

These aren’t just isolated problems to deal with later.

They’re clues.
And they deserve attention.

This is why my conversations with women rarely begin with, ‘What are you eating?’

They begin with questions like:

• How are you sleeping?
• How stressed have you been lately?
• Do you have the energy to get through your day?
• Are you able to move your body consistently?
• How are you feeling emotionally?

Because I don’t start with fertility. I start with health.

Nutrition absolutely matters.
But so do sleep, movement, recovery, and emotional wellbeing.

That’s why my work isn’t about handing out restrictive meal plans or recommending endless supplements.

It’s about helping women build strong health foundations that support fertility and long-term wellbeing.

Whether they’re trying to conceive naturally, preparing for IVF/IUI, managing PMOS, or simply wanting to understand their bodies better.

Fertility isn’t something we should start thinking about only when we’re trying to conceive.

It’s one of the clearest reflections of our overall health.

Do you think women in India are encouraged to think about fertility early enough? I’d love to hear your perspective.”

“Many women assume fertility will always be there when they’re ready to start a family. The reality is that egg quality naturally declines with age, making it important to understand your options early.

Egg freezing isn’t about delaying motherhood – it’s about preserving the freedom to choose when the time is right.

In this carousel, we’ve covered:

• What egg freezing is
• Who should consider it
• The ideal age for better outcomes
• Why planning ahead can make a difference

The goal isn’t to create fear – it’s to empower women with the right information so they can make informed decisions about their future.

Take a moment to swipe through and learn more. If you know someone who may benefit from this information, consider sharing it with them.

What are your thoughts on fertility preservation? Let’s start the conversation in the comments.”

“Sometimes, the thing that got me through fertility treatment wasn’t positivity; it was humour.

The kind that makes you laugh because, honestly, the alternative is crying.

Infertility isn’t funny.

The heartache certainly isn’t funny.

But finding moments to laugh doesn’t mean you aren’t taking it seriously. It doesn’t diminish the pain.

My egg collection happened on my husband Al’s birthday.

I was lying in theatre, waiting for the anaesthetic, chatting with the doctor. He noticed it was Al’s birthday and said, ‘Ah, it’s your husband’s birthday. Happy birthday!’

Without missing a beat, I replied:

‘To be honest, this has saved me a job.’

(If you know, you know…)

There I was, in the middle of one of the biggest moments of our fertility journey, laughing and joking.

Because fertility journeys aren’t made up of just one emotion.

They’re messy, complicated, heartbreaking… and sometimes unexpectedly hilarious.

If you’ve been through fertility treatment, what was the funniest or most unexpected moment that made you laugh?

Let’s remind people that joy and laughter can exist in the same story.”
