#44 Female Fertility with Amy Beckley: Exploring Ovulation and Pregnancy in Public Discourse, At-Home Fertility Testing, Hormone Marker Analysis, FDA Exemptions & Health Insurance Coverage Limitations

Amy went through the exact same challenges as many women do during infertility and leveraged her expertise to develop an approachable remedy. She discovered that for herself and others, the crucial element in achieving pregnancy was surprisingly uncomplicated: comprehending the roles of hormones, their distinct functions, and ways to maintain equilibrium. This knowledge completely changed Amy’s approach to fertility - ultimately resulting in the birth of her second child. On this episode she discusses the lack of education around healthy conceiving in the school systems, the misconceptions around ovulation in the current healthcare system, revealing the surprising ways that traditional off-the-shelf fertility tests fall short in truly testing ovulation. She also explains how traditional fertility tests available over-the-counter do not accurately measure ovulation. Additionally, she highlights the inadequate coverage for fertility treatments in health insurance plans and a discussion on the regulatory journey her device that was initially exempt from pre-market clearance by the FDA but eventually had to undergo a 510k process after contact with the FDA.
