The immune system communicates with ovaries and can derail ovulation, implantation, and embryo development.

Unexplained Infertility? Here’s What Your Doctor Might Be Missing 🕵️‍♀️💛

“Everything looks fine.”
“You’re just one of those unexplained infertility cases.”
Cool… thanks for nothing.

Here’s the truth: “unexplained” doesn’t mean there’s no explanation — it usually just means no one’s doing a deep dive on your labs or symptoms. In fact, research shows there’s one big factor that’s rarely tested for but can quietly derail ovulation, implantation, and pregnancy… and you might never hear about it in a standard consult.

In this episode, I’m sharing:
✨ The surprising body system that’s in constant conversation with your ovaries
✨ Why it can make or break your fertility outcomes — even if your cycle looks “perfect”
✨ The tests and lifestyle tweaks that could uncover your missing puzzle piece

If you’ve been told “everything’s normal” but you know something isn’t, this is the episode you’ll want to hear.
