EPISODE SUMMARY:In this episode, I sit down with Morgan, a Fertility 101 member who chose to get proactive before trying to conceive. With a history of irregular cycles, a PCOS diagnosis, and 10 years without a period due to the Mirena IUD, she wasn’t sure what her fertility journey would look like. But instead of waiting to struggle, Morgan decided to prepare. She took the time to understand her body, support her hormones, and eliminate the fear. Now at 37 weeks pregnant, her story is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to wait for a problem to take control of your journey.ABOUT DR.
