What happens when IVF doesn't work?
After a failed IVF cycle, miscarriage, or difficult diagnosis, it's easy to feel like you've run out of options. But according to reproductive endocrinologist Dr. Leah Kaye, you're never just a diagnosis, and your story isn't over.
In this episode of Create A Happy Family, Dr. Kaye shares how she helps patients navigate infertility with compassion, balance hope with realistic expectations, and explore the next steps in family building, including egg donation and surrogacy when appropriate.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Failed IVF cycles and pregnancy loss • When to consider egg donation or surrogacy • How fertility specialists approach complex cases • Why feeling heard is medicine • Supporting the whole person, not just the diagnosis
Content note: This episode includes discussion of miscarriage and pregnancy loss. Please take care while listening if these topics are especially tender for you.
