We've all heard the term "unexplained infertility" — but what does it actually mean when all your tests look normal and you're still not getting pregnant? In this episode, Dr. Daneshmand breaks it down and what might really be going on beneath the surface — from egg and sperm quality to hidden uterine factors — and why "unexplained" doesn't necessarily mean untreatable. If you've ever felt stuck with an unexplained diagnosis, this one's for you — equal parts insight, science, and hope.

This week, Dr. D sits down with reproductive attorney Rijon Charne to talk about how a cancer diagnosis changed the course of her life — and ultimately led her to her purpose. After being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma days before graduating from law school, Rijon faced the daunting reality of preserving her fertility before treatment. Through her own egg freezing journey, she discovered firsthand the emotional and financial hurdles that so many patients encounter when trying to protect their future families.

Today, Rijon uses that experience to advocate for others as the founder of Sunray Fertility Law, helping people navigate the complex world of fertility law and insurance.

Navigating fertility challenges can be one of the most emotionally taxing experiences in a person's life — filled with uncertainty, hope, and heartbreak. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Sarah Oreck, reproductive psychiatrist and founder of Mavida Health, to explore the often-overlooked mental health aspects of fertility.

Dr. Oreck shares her expert insights on how stress, anxiety, and depression can impact both individuals and couples during the fertility journey. We dive into practical strategies for coping, how to recognize when to seek professional support, and why emotional well-being is just as critical as physical health during this time.

Whether you're currently undergoing fertility treatments, supporting a partner, or working with patients in this space, this conversation offers compassionate guidance, evidence-based tools, and a reminder that you're not alone.
