🎙️ Episode 14: Chronically Clocked — Age & Your Fertility Timeline
Age ain’t just a number - especially when it comes to fertility.
In this episode, Laura and Brandis get real about one of the most asked (and misunderstood) topics in reproductive health: how age affects fertility. From egg quality and AMH to sperm fragmentation and the shady side of TikTok fertility scams, we break it all down.
Whether you're 25, 35, or 45+—this episode is your fertility reality check without the shame or scare tactics.
💬 In this episode, we discuss:
Why your eggs are aging right along with you, even on birth control
The truth about AMH, egg quantity vs. quality, and why it fluctuates
The “vault” analogy + why IVF can’t unlock it
How sperm quality declines with age too (yes, men have a clock)
The importance of knowing your long-term family goals early
Egg and embryo banking: who it’s for and when to consider it
How CNY approaches treatment without strict age cutoffs
Donor eggs, combo cycles, and the epigenetic magic of pregnancy
Fertility scams, psychic predictions, and pineapple Band-Aids 🙃
✨ Quote of the Week:
"Fertility isn't a switch—it’s a dimmer."
👯♀️ Relatable, real, and refreshingly honest, this episode is your friendly reminder that it’s okay to explore your options and ask the hard questions - no matter what age the calendar says.
