In Episode 34 of The Med Edit Podcast, Dr. Jessica Gray and Dr. Cari Sorrell dive deep into the complex and personal topic of infertility. With 13.4% of women aged 15-49 experiencing difficulty becoming pregnant, fertility issues are more common than many realize—and disproportionately impact female physicians.
This week, they’re joined by fertility expert Dr. Jessica Ryniec, a double board-certified specialist in obstetrics, gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, and infertility. Together, they unpack the essentials of how to get pregnant, stay pregnant, and navigate the emotional and medical complexities of infertility.
Topics covered include:
- The detailed science behind conception
- Understanding fertility tests and assessments (AMH, hormonal levels, ultrasounds)
- Common infertility causes in women (PCOS, endometriosis, ovulation issues) and men (varicocele, hormonal imbalances)
- Treatments available (Clomid, letrozole, IUI, IVF)
- Managing recurrent miscarriages and ensuring healthy pregnancies
- Debunking infertility myths (from birth control myths to dietary folklore)
Tune in to separate fact from fiction in fertility, learn proactive steps to take if you’re struggling to conceive, and gain evidence-based guidance on maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
Don’t miss the engaging “FACT or MIS (misinformation)” segment in the second half—where Dr. Ryniec addresses popular myths circulated by social media influencers.
