Is IVF the Only Way? What Your Doctors Aren’t Telling You About Fertility Success Part Two with Jenna Longoria

“We’ve been sold this idea that we can do it all—but no one warned us what it would cost our fertility.”

Topics Discussed

• Medical gaslighting in fertility care
• The myth of “unexplained infertility”
• How testing without intuition leads to burnout
• AMH panic and the IVF fear factory
• Western medicine vs empowered fertility care
• Surrendering control while staying empowered

“Unexplained infertility is just code for 'we didn’t bother to look deeper.”

Hello Beautiful Souls, Monica here… and let me just say this: if you’ve ever felt like your fertility journey has turned into a full-time job with zero PTO, this episode is going to hit. Deep.

Today, I’m back with Jenna for a raw, powerful part two. We’re digging into the medical gaslighting, the industry that thrives on your fear, and what it really means to make empowered choices around fertility. You’ll hear us riff on everything from “golden handcuffs” and birth control’s broken promise to how the IVF system is built like a car dealership—complete with the closer.

And yes, we’re going there. We're naming the truth: you’re not broken. Your body is wise. And sometimes the most radical thing you can do is slow the hell down, get outside, and stop living like your worth is measured in checklists and lab results.

So, if you’ve been white-knuckling this journey, waiting for someone to finally say, “You can rest,” this is your permission slip. Press play, take the walk, breathe deeper. You’re not alone—and you’re not crazy for wanting more than a number on a chart.

“If you're not ovulating, you're not connected to nature. And if you're not connected to nature, you're not connected to your intuition. Full stop.”
