Today, I am talking with Laura. She is a registered nurse and fertility expert who blends clinical knowledge with deeply personal experience. After being diagnosed with PCOS while working as a fertility nurse, Laura endured years of fertility treatments, including multiple IUIs, IVF cycles, and pregnancy loss. Her journey to motherhood included three surgeries, failed transfers, and emotional setbacks—yet ultimately led to the births of her two sons through IVF.
Now the founder of Navigating Fertility with Laura, LLC, she advocates for compassionate, fertility support. In this episode, she talks about the often-overlooked aspects of infertility: the emotional toll of treatment, the mental health gap in fertility care, limited access to reproductive medicine, and the desperate need for clear, empathetic patient education.
This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating infertility, fertility nurses, and professionals working in women’s health and reproductive medicine.
