Could hidden infections be standing in the way of your pregnancy success? In this episode, we explore why vaginal microbiome testing is a game changer for fertility.

You'll learn how imbalances like bacterial vaginosis, ureaplasma, and chronic yeast, even without symptoms can impact implantation, egg and sperm quality, and increase miscarriage risk.

We also cover how your gut and vaginal microbiomes are connected, why both partners should be tested, and how to take a more holistic, targeted approach to support natural conception or IVF success.
