Faith + Fertility (or not)

🎙️ Episode 22: Faith + Fertility (or not)

Faith and fertility - it’s a conversation many avoid, but one that so many of us are living. 🌿 Whether your beliefs shape how you pursue treatment, cause hesitation, or provide strength through the struggle, faith is deeply intertwined with fertility journeys.

In this episode, Laura and Brandis open up about:

  • Navigating the sometimes-controversial intersection of faith and fertility treatment

  • How religious beliefs can influence decisions around IVF, IUI, sperm collection, embryo creation, genetic testing, and compassionate transfer

  • Provider perspectives on supporting patients without bias while honoring personal values

  • Common fears about judgment, shame, or conflict with family or faith communities; and how to find support

  • The unique ways CNY Fertility accommodates religious preferences, from natural IVF to alternative sample collection to prayer and music during transfers

  • The importance of informed choice, respect, and knowing you’re not alone - whatever your beliefs may (or may not) be

✨ Whether you find strength in faith, science, community, or all of the above, this episode is here to remind you: your journey is valid, your beliefs matter, and there’s space for everyone at the table.
