About the Episode:
Welcome to the chaotic fertility crossover episode we had to do: Hollywood vs. reality. From matcha miracles to miracle babies at 50+, Laura and Brandis are calling out the mixed messages, magic timelines, and media-fueled misconceptions that have us all screaming “HOW?!”

We’re breaking down:
✨ Celebs who “just stopped trying and got pregnant”
🧬 Designer baby myths & yoni steams
🕰️ The ticking clock trope (we see you, Bachelor Nation)
📺 IVF portrayed in 30 seconds or less
🤯 Why “natural” isn’t always better

Whether it’s Kardashians, Teen Mom, or tabloid headlines, we’re setting the record straight on what’s actually possible—and what’s just ✨TV magic✨.

Hot Takes & Real Talk:

• Fertility facts don’t care about your Hollywood inspo board

• No, you can’t pick your baby’s eye color (yet)

• IVF ≠ instant pregnancy

• Therapy is hot. Unrealistic expectations are not.

✨ Episode 6- Sorry, Not Sorry. CNY's Doing It Better (and Cheaper) ✨

(aka the one where we spill why our clinic is the Costco‑level steal of IVF, minus the $1.50 hot‑dog combo)

• Budget babes, rejoice: CNY’s base IVF package starts around $4K (meds + anesthesia included) instead of the usual $20‑30K bag‑breaker.

• Zero gate‑keeping: No hard cut‑offs on BMI, AMH, or age. If you want a shot with your own eggs, we’ll cheer you on (and be real about the odds).

• Financing that actually approves you: 100 % in‑house plans (6‑24 mo) with no credit check.

• Extra sciencey add‑ons: Immune protocols, PRP, acupuncture, & Fertile‑Hope yoga for the mind‑body glow‑up.

• DIY monitoring: New at‑home ultrasound collab (SAMA) for the road‑warriors and WFH‑girlies.

• Doc on speed‑dial: Dr. Kiltz literally drops his cell on IG Lives and texts back at 5 AM. Love it.

1. Affordability isn’t a gimmick — low overhead + private ownership lets CNY keep prices spicy‑low without cutting corners.

2. Patient‑led everything — from anesthesia for HSGs to playlist choices (yes, blast Taylor Swift during scopes).

3. Whole‑human care — mental‑health groups, Fertile‑Hope yoga, webinars, and meditations mean you’re never stuck doom‑scrolling alone at 2 AM again.

4. Choice ≠ chance — we’ll lay out stats honestly, then hand you the steering wheel. Closure or miracles… both valid.

Episode 5- “IVF 101: So… We’re Making Embryos, Bestie!”

Brandis and Laura spill all the embryology tea—from that “I‑almost‑peed‑on‑the‑transfer‑table” story to a step‑by‑step IVF play‑by‑play (triggers, retrievals, ICSI, the whole lab glow‑up). They bust the “test‑tube‑baby” myth, talk real success‑rate math, and share zero‑judgement advice for supporting friends in the thick of treatment.

Key Takeaways:

• ICSI for everyone: At CNY Fertility, intracytoplasmic sperm injection comes standard—better fertilization rates, no up‑charge.

• IVF ≠ guaranteed: Age, egg quality, and embryo genetics still rule; multiple cycles are normal.

• Language matters: “Test‑tube baby” is canceled—let’s stick with IVF or ART.

• Support hacks: Ask “How can I help?” before assuming; tiny gestures (a meme, a heat pad drop‑off) can be huge.

• Normalize the process: More openness = less stigma, fewer wild Reddit rumors.
