Description

<p>Remember when all we cared about was PREVENTING pregnancy? Well now that I'm in my 30’s, I’ve seen a new big kid problem arise, and that is having trouble getting pregnant. There is a lot we don’t learn about when it comes to our fertility and that's why this week I’m bringing in the big guns, Dr. Lora Shahine. She is a Double Board-Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist, Bestselling Author, and Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Washington so needless to say - she knows her sh*t! We’re going to talk about the things she wants ALL of us know about fertility, whether you are actively trying or have no idea if you even want kids yet.&nbsp; We’ll talk about fertility treatments (where to get started, IUI vs. IVF),&nbsp; Egg Freezing, we’re even going to talk about miscarriages in this episode, which I can tell you as someone in their 30’s - is wayyy more common than I thought. I learned a LOT in this episode and hope you do too!&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Want more from our guests?</strong></p><p>Dr. Lora Shahine&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drlorashahine/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DrLoraShahine</a></li><li>Website <a href="https://www.lorashahine.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1603674897" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Baby or Bust Podcast</a></li></ul><br/><p>Some Resources Dr. Shahine mentioned: <a href="https://resolve.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Resolve.org</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hilariously_infertile/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Hilariously_Infertile</a>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Stay connected with Sarah too!&nbsp;</strong></p><ul><li>Personal Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sarahmerrill_hall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@SarahMerrill_Hall</a></li><li>Get some laughs on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/Bigkidproblems/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bigkidproblems</a>!</li><li>BigKidProblems is on <a href="https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8qa2Hpj/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> now!&nbsp;</li><li>Find more at <a href="http://www.bigkidproblems.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.BigKidProblems.com</a></li><li>And check out her NEW Pregnancy Podcast <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bottle-service-with-big-kid-problems/id1594639891" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BOTTLE SERVICE</a></li></ul><br/><p><br></p><p><strong>Big thank you to our episode sponsors:</strong></p><p><a href="http://takethesis.com/BKP" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Thesis</a> - Less Brain Fog and more Productivity?
