   New Year, New Beginnings! The Real Basics of Getting Pregnant

   Let’s Get Pregnant! Many of us spend years focusing on how not to get pregnant, so shifting into trying to conceive can feel surprisingly disorienting. Today, Dr. Sarah chats with Dr. Beth Taylor, infertility specialist and co-founder of Olive Fertility Centre in Vancouver, to walk us through the true basics of getting pregnant. This episode focuses on the heteronormative paradigm of a cis woman and cis man trying to conceive through intercourse - and we’ll explore many other paths to conception in future episodes. You’ll learn: How to time intercourse for the best chance of pregnancy Simple lifestyle choices that boost fertility (including the truth about cannabis + hot tubs) Why sperm health matters just as much as egg health When it’s time to seek help and what tests/treatments are available Dr. Taylor breaks down what really matters, what doesn’t, and how small changes can make a meaningful difference on your conception journey.
