I sat down with the incredible Dr. Sasha Hakman, a double board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (REI) specialist at HRC Fertility in Beverly Hills. She’s highly awarded, stays on the cutting edge of research, and is even a subject matter expert for the American Board of OB-GYN in REI board certification. In other words, she knows her stuff - and she explains it in the kindest, clearest way possible. We cover: What “unexplained infertility” actually means - it affects 15-20% of couples with infertility. The hidden endometriosis link and why it can fly under the radar. The basic fertility workup every woman deserves to know about. First-line treatment: superovulation + IUI and the success rates. When to move to IVF, embryo testing, and even whole genome sequencing. Dr. Sasha’s own fertility journey at 39 while helping patients every day. Her top 3 tips if you’re walking this road right now. I walked away feeling so much more informed and hopeful, and I know you will too. Whether you’re deep in this journey, supporting a friend, or just educating yourself ahead of time - go you. I’m so proud of you for showing up and learning. This episode is for every mama who’s ever felt unseen in her journey. I see you. I’m here for you. You are stronger than you know.
