Ep 23: What is the EMMA/ALICE test? Amy finally gets some answers about what's happening in her uterus

In this deeply personal episode, Amy shares her EMMA/ALICE test results—and what they revealed about chronic uterine infections that may have been silently impacting her body since her miscarriage two and a half years ago. We talk about the emotional whiplash of paying $1,200 out of pocket for a test insurance won’t cover, the frustrating standard of care for Asherman’s syndrome, and how this newly uncovered information might change her IVF path going forward.

We also dive into the role of AI in fertility research, how Deep Research from ChatGPT helped Amy validate her medical concerns, and the exhaustion of self-advocacy when your uterus becomes a case study.

Other things we cover are friendship during fertility treatment, Kayti's baby shower, and entering the third trimester of an IVF pregnancy, how to stay grounded when your body feels like a medical mystery.
