   Why You're Not Getting Pregnant Even Though You're Ovulating: 7 Things to Investigate

   If you're ovulating every month, timing intercourse correctly, and still not getting pregnant, it may be time to look beyond your cycle tracking. Ovulation is an important piece of the fertility puzzle, but it doesn't tell us everything about egg quality, sperm health, metabolic function, or the conditions needed for successful implantation. If you've been told that everything looks normal and you should just keep trying, I want you to know that there may be more to investigate. In this episode, I'm walking you through seven important areas to explore when pregnancy isn't happening, even when you're ovulating regularly. We'll look at egg and sperm quality, thyroid and metabolic health, inflammation, fallopian tube patency, the uterine environment, and what progesterone testing can actually tell us. I'll also explain why both partners need to be evaluated and how nutrition, lifestyle, and comprehensive fertility testing can work together to identify potential barriers to conception. The goal isn't to track harder or guess what might be wrong. It's to understand your individual fertility picture and build a plan around what your body actually needs. "You cannot optimize a couple's fertility by treating one person." — Brooke Boskovich. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why ovulating every month doesn't guarantee successful conception How to identify your fertile window and time intercourse more effectively Why egg quality depends on nutrition, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, sleep, and metabolic health How preconception nutrition and lifestyle changes can support egg development over three to four months Why sperm quality matters just as much as egg quality for fertilization, embryo development, and a healthy pregnancy What sperm DNA fragmentation can reveal beyond a standard semen analysis How thyroid function, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation may affect fertility Why open fallopian tubes and a healthy uterine environment are essential for conception and implantation What progesterone testing can confirm — and what it cannot tell you about your fertility When to seek a comprehensive fertility evaluation rather than continuing to wait How to combine reproductive testing with individualized nutrition and lifestyle support Practical steps both partners can take to investigate fertility barriers and prepare for conception — Connect & Learn More: Support the show: Please leave me a comment or a review wherever you listen to this podcast Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/4faTvVq Learn more about this episode: thefertilitydietitian.health Contact me: brooke@thefertilitydietitian.health Check out my Digital Store: thefertilitydietitian.health/shop Facebook: facebook.com/BrookeTheFertilityDietitian Instagram: instagram.com/the.fertility.dietitian YouTube: youtube.com/@TheFertilityDietitianPodcast

   Fertility During Perimenopause: Can You Still Get Pregnant in Your 40s?

   The perimenopause conversation is everywhere right now, especially if you're in your late 30s or early 40s. Changes in sleep, cycles, body composition, mood, hair, and fertility can quickly get labeled as "perimenopause." But while perimenopause is very real, it shouldn't automatically become the explanation for every symptom you experience during these years. In this episode, we're taking a closer look at what actually happens to fertility during perimenopause, how to tell when symptoms may be coming from something else, and what you can still do to support fertility in your late 30s and 40s. Your age matters, but it is only one piece of the fertility picture. "A changing cycle is information. It gives us somewhere to start looking." - Brooke Boskovich. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What perimenopause actually is and how it can affect ovulation and fertility Why perimenopause should not automatically explain every symptom in your late 30s and early 40s How thyroid function, iron status, blood sugar, stress, gut health, inflammation, and nutrient status can overlap with perimenopause symptoms Why fertility is still possible during perimenopause when ovulation is occurring What your menstrual cycle and ovulation patterns can tell you about your fertility Why there is no single blood test that can definitively diagnose perimenopause Which labs and fertility markers may provide a more complete picture How metabolic health, nutrition, sleep, and circadian rhythm can support fertility Why both partners need to be included in the fertility evaluation What to prioritize if you're trying to conceive in your late 30s or early 40s — Connect & Learn More: Support the show: Please leave me a comment or a review wherever you listen to this podcast Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/4faTvVq Learn more about this episode: thefertilitydietitian.health Contact me: brooke@thefertilitydietitian.health Check out my Digital Store: thefertilitydietitian.health/shop Facebook: facebook.com/BrookeTheFertilityDietitian Instagram: instagram.com/the.fertility.dietitian YouTube: youtube.com/@TheFertilityDietitianPodcast

   Cholesterol and Fertility: How High and Low Cholesterol Affect Your Hormones, Ovulation, and Egg Quality

   Cholesterol is one of those words that can immediately make you think, "I need to lower that." But cholesterol is also essential for fertility. Your body needs cholesterol to make reproductive hormones, build healthy cells, produce bile, and support vitamin D production. So what happens when cholesterol is too high—or potentially too low—when you're trying to conceive? In this episode, I'm breaking down what your cholesterol numbers can actually tell you about fertility, metabolic health, and hormone function. We'll look at LDL, HDL, triglycerides, ApoB, Lp(a), thyroid health, fasting insulin, nutrition, exercise, and the important difference between dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol. Most importantly, we'll talk about why your cholesterol numbers need to be interpreted in the context of your whole body—not in isolation. "Your body needs cholesterol to make the hormones you need to get pregnant." - Brooke Boskovich. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why your body needs cholesterol to make estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone How cholesterol, thyroid health, blood sugar, and insulin resistance are connected What your LDL, HDL, and triglyceride levels can tell you about metabolic health Why ApoB and Lp(a) can provide additional context beyond a standard lipid panel How insulin resistance can affect cholesterol, ovulation, and reproductive hormone signaling Why elevated cholesterol doesn't automatically mean you should follow a low-fat or highly restrictive diet Why dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol are not the same thing How eggs, healthy fats, fiber, and omega-3s can fit into a fertility-supportive diet What unusually low cholesterol can tell us when it's combined with under-eating, irregular cycles, or low energy Why thyroid health deserves a closer look when cholesterol is elevated How cholesterol medications fit into the fertility conversation and why you should never stop medication on your own What comprehensive preconception blood work can reveal about your fertility and long-term health — Connect & Learn More: Support the show: Please leave me a comment or a review wherever you listen to this podcast Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/4faTvVq Learn more about this episode: thefertilitydietitian.health Contact me: brooke@thefertilitydietitian.health Check out my Digital Store: thefertilitydietitian.health/shop Facebook: facebook.com/BrookeTheFertilityDietitian Instagram: instagram.com/the.fertility.dietitian YouTube: youtube.com/@TheFertilityDietitianPodcast
