In this video, I’m breaking down what often gets glossed over in IVF consults: real success rates by age, the true cost (including multiple rounds), how unpredictable egg retrieval can be, common side effects, and how much time this process can take. Then I’ll show you the part that matters most: almost everything that impacts IVF outcomes is modifiable, and your baseline health going into IVF can change your odds of success. We cover: IVF success rates by age and why one cycle often isn’t enough The real costs (procedures, meds, testing) and why it adds up fast Egg retrieval reality: why some women get far fewer eggs than expected Key risks/side effects (and why you should know them upfront) The 90-day window that matters most for egg quality How to optimize fertility whether you do IVF or conceive naturally: Mitochondrial health + oxidative stress (egg quality support) Blood sugar + insulin resistance (especially with PCOS patterns) Thyroid optimization beyond “normal TSH” Progesterone + luteal phase support Cortisol/nervous system regulation (fight-or-flight vs reproduction) Gut health + estrogen clearance and inflammation Nutrient status and lifestyle foundations (sleep, strength training, food) Why male-factor fertility matters and what he should evaluate too Disclaimer: I’m a Physician Assistant (PA), but this video is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
