Fertility, Reproductive Immunology, and What I Did Differently in My Successful Pregnancy

SHE with Jordan Lee Dooley

If you’ve ever had to walk through recurrent pregnancy loss or infertility, you know how overwhelming it can be to figure out what doctors to see, what to test for, and what treatments to try.

And, unfortunately, many women also experience doctors who gaslight them or insurance companies who won’t pay for testing until they’ve had a certain number of miscarriages.

Even with additional testing, many women still get labeled with “unexplained” infertility or loss, which leaves them with more questions than answers.

In this episode, Jordan shares more about her fertility journey and what she did differently with her fourth pregnancy, which resulted in her son, Shepherd.

Together, she and her friend discuss how reproductive immunology played a role in their successful pregnancies and what the experience was like for them.
