What Could Go Wrong? The Not-So-Fun Side of Fertility Treatments
Manage episode 486816060 series 3455843
In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols pulls back the curtain on the often-unspoken truth: fertility treatments don’t always go as planned. From failed ovulation and sperm no-shows during IUI, to egg retrieval curveballs, fertilization failures, and embryo transfer nightmares in IVF—this episode covers the chaos that can catch patients off guard.
But don’t worry, this isn’t about fear—it’s about power through preparation. Dr. Amols shares real-world scenarios, explains the why behind the “what the heck just happened,” and helps you walk into treatment with eyes wide open and expectations aligned.
Because hope isn't blind optimism—it's knowing the risks and choosing to try anyway.
