The Podcast by KevinMD

What no one teaches you about fertility before you need help

Episode Description from the Publisher

Fertility specialist and Montgomery Fertility Center founder Oluyemisi "Yemi" Famuyiwa discusses the article "What no one tells you about fertility, from a doctor." Yemi discusses the article through a compassionate look at the emotional, biological, and practical realities patients often discover only after struggling to conceive. She explores fertility myths, reproductive timing, menstrual cycle awareness, egg health, sperm production, male factor infertility, patient anxiety, and the hope and grief that often coexist during the fertility journey. This episode examines why being healthy does not guarantee pregnancy, why both partners need evaluation, and why fertility care must address the human soul as well as the science. It is a reassuring conversation about replacing silence and shame with understanding, support, and choices that help patients feel less alone. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.
