Healing After Miscarriage with guests Stefanie Bonnell and Dr. Dana McQueen

In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I’m joined by Stefanie Bonnell, a licensed therapist who specializes in perinatal loss and trauma, and Dr. Dana McQueen, a reproductive endocrinologist with a focus on recurrent miscarriage and endometriosis. Together, we dive into one of the most heartbreaking experiences in reproductive health: miscarriage, and talk about how to support healing both emotionally and physically.

Stefanie shares her own personal story and the insights she's gained as a therapist supporting others through loss. Dr. McQueen brings her clinical perspective on the testing and treatment options available after a miscarriage. We discuss how miscarriage can impact mental health, relationships, and decision-making in future fertility care. This conversation is an honest, compassionate, and deeply informative guide for anyone navigating life after pregnancy loss or supporting someone who is.

In this episode, we cover:

• What it’s like to experience miscarriage—and how to process the grief
• When and how to begin testing after miscarriage
• The emotional toll of loss and how to find therapeutic support
• The importance of validating all forms of grief, including early loss
• How to advocate for yourself and build a support team for the journey ahead
