Episode 26: Pregnant at 48: Donor Egg IVF Success Story with Louise Adhikari

Can epigenetics, donor eggs, and surrender really add up to "pregnant at 48"?

Episode Summary: 

In this episode of Fertile Frequencies Radio, Louise Adekari, working Mom, Storyteller, and C-suite communications advisor, shares how two failed transfers, a brave "yes" to egg donation, and a mindset of surrender opened the path to her daughter's arrival at age 48. From epigenetics (how your body's environment imprints a baby) to the emotional terrain of IVF, Louise shows how science and soul can work together. She also reflects on how motherhood transformed her identity, priorities, and purpose.

Key Takeaways:

• Science + Spirit: Fertility is both medical and mystical; labs and procedures can harmonize with intuition and surrender.
• Detachment matters: Releasing control can create space for unexpected blessings.
• IVF is emotional work: The highs/lows are real, support is essential.
• Mindset is medicine: Calm, balanced focus supports every step (especially the two-week wait).
• Egg donation is a loving option: it's a viable and hopeful path for many.
• Epigenetics is powerful: The womb environment has a profound influence on development.
• Motherhood evolves you: Identity, values, and career can shift in meaningful ways.
• Community counts: Partners, friends, and practitioners help sustain resilience.
• Knowledge = advocacy: Understanding options empowers better decisions.
• Every journey is unique; patience and perseverance are essential parts of the path.
