| Ep. 225: Making Hard Medical Decisions in the Unknown, with client Hanna | 26 Jun 2026 | 00:19:42 | |
Hanna prefers holistic medicine and homeopathy to modern medical advancements so when her doctor recommended a laparoscopy for possible endometriosis, she wasn't thrilled. This began a journey of determining whether or not this surgery would be right for her specifically and she shares that honest journey wiht us in today's podcast. Whether or not you suspect endometriosis, many of us will face some tough medical calls in the midst of the unknown and it's hard to make a decision when we don't know the future. Yet, we have to make a decision one way or another because even choosing not to act is a choice in and of itself. So how do we choose? What things do we consider? How do we find peace with the next step forward? We discuss these and more in today's episode. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for all audiences.

FemTech is a big industry but how helpful is it to "the little people" especially those trying to conceive? We talked with NaProTechnology trained PA, Naomi Davis, from Vivify Fertility & Health, about how she's seen FEMTECH support and restrict women trying to grow their families. She lays out the major types of FemTech devices, some pros and cons, and her best advice for those trying to conceive. We live in a technology-driven age, which means we have to be EDUCATED about what helps us vs what doesn't.

| Ep. 122: IVF Alternatives for friends | 03 May 2024 | 00:19:41 | |
I'm frequently asked how clients can share fertility suggestions with their friends. They want to share the exciting things they're learning through their own fertility education process, but don't want to overstep or say the wrong thing. This is especially true when it comes to IVF alternatives. Many ladies talk to friends who hate the IVF process, and yet their friends aren't sure how to suggest alternatives. This episode is designed for those who want to meet their friends where they are and provide a hopeful, supported alternative to fertility treatments that may not be serving them well. Enjoy these tips that can be applied to all sorts of fertility related conversations among friends! This could apply to in vitro fertilization, birth control, IUD use, recurrent pregnancy loss or miscarriage, and more.

Client, Sarah, joins me today to talk about her story of years long infertility and how working with the right providers along the way allowed her to welcome to her son last summer. She fully believes that if she had not had the supportive, knowledgable, and humble providers that she did, she would not be where she is today. Hear what tools her providers used, how she partnered with her providers (like through the Creighton Model System), issues diagnosed and treated (like endometriosis, ovarian cysts, uterine infection, scar tissue and adhesions, etc), and how she knew when it was time to begin working with someone new. Listen to the end, because she provides her main tip for other women fearful of unexplained infertility!

| Ep.120: All About Progesterone | 19 Apr 2024 | 00:13:02 | |
Progesterone is an incredibly vital reproductive hormone that's responsible for many aspects of overall health. When it's not doing what it should be, it stands out! Issues like PMS/PMDD, implantation failure, early miscarriage, and postpartum depression can all be due to low progesterone! In order to address these issues at their source, it's best to first learn as much as we can about Progesterone. Today's episode shares a great introduction, including what it is, how it functions, how to tell if it may be low, and the process in diagnosis and treatment. You'll even learn about bioidentical progesterone vs. progestin!

| Ep. 116: Explaining Chronic Endometritis | 22 Mar 2024 | 00:13:02 | |
Chronic Endometritis doesn't always have many symptoms, yet it can affect your cycle health and contribute to infertility and pregnancy loss. What is this silent condition and how can you know if it's affecting you? This episode explores what endometritis is, how to diagnose and treat it, while also explaining its differences from acute endometritis (and endometriosis, which is a separate condition). If you're experiencing unexplained infertility or recurrent pregnancy loss (miscarriage), you may want to explore the possibility of chronic endometritis. Charting your cycles with the Creighton Model System may help you to spot this possibility earlier, and work with a NaProTechnology provider in order to heal.

| Ep. 214: Midwifery Before and Beyond Pregnancy & Postpartum, with Hamilton Yarbrough | 10 Apr 2026 | 00:17:39 | |
Did you know that midwives can provide gynecological care outside of pregnancy and postpartum? While this used to be the standard practice, more and more medicine has moved inside of hospitals and toward physicians, but the role of midwife to the local community shouldn't be overlooked. Because of their unique skills and training, they can provide gynecological care that may better meet your preferences and needs. Certified Nurse Midwife, Hamilton Yarbrough, joins us to talk about her midwifery practice and the services she offers to women who are not pregnant or postpartum. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for most audiences but does mention birth and trauma. GUEST BIO: Hamilton Yarbrough is a wife to her wonderful husband Jordan of 10 years; they have two wild little boys Charlie and Lewis, both born at home (which is what sparked her desire to move into midwifery model with Homebirth). She has been practicing as a midwife for 8 years now and has had her own clinic for 5. She has helped over 500 mothers, sisters, and friends navigate the ups and downs of GYN care, pregnancy, loss, birth, and everything in between and loved every second of it!

You'll hear ClearBlue Fertility Monitor, Ava, TempDrop, Kegg, Ovusense, Mira, and Inito Fertility Monitors all mentioned -- but which ones will be "worth it?"

Working in a ministry focused on infertility, Kelley shares what role adoption should and could play in the lives of couples struggling to grow their family.

| Ep. 108: Choosing a Natural Family Planning (NFP) Method | 26 Jan 2024 | 00:19:31 | |
Choosing which form of Natural Family Planning (NFP) to use can take some time and intentionality! There are many to choose from, so understanding the methods, their effectiveness, and which will work best for you can help ensure the most success and satisfaction! Natural Family Planning is not birth control or contraception, but a way to truly understand and engage with your reproductive health and fertility. You may have heard the term Fertility Awareness Based Method used, and often these are used interchangeably with NFP (although some categorize them separately). Some of these methods include, Creighton Model System, FEMM, Marquette Method, and SymptoThermal (couple to couple league, Justisse, SymptoPro, etc). Today's episode will help give you an overview and help you take your next step in pursuing Natural Family Planning! Other great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care:

Reproductive health issues can be unexpected. For Rebecca, she was shocked to have trouble conceiving again after success on the first try with her firstborn.

We talk about the differences between irregular cycles and no cycles at all, when it's normal vs abnormal to not have a period, what causes cycles to stop (or never get started), and what common advice by doctors may not be all that helpful. Plus, all the fancy terms you never knew you needed in today's episode.

| Ep. 97: Ovarian Cysts, with Dr. Naomi Whittaker, MD, CFCMC | 10 Nov 2023 | 00:19:59 | |
Ovarian cysts are the worst! Not only are they sometimes painful, they are confusing. There are so many different kinds, and while some are benign and easy to treat, others point toward Ovarian cancer. If you have ovarian cysts, you need to connect with a restorative OBGYN, like Dr. Whittaker, who values your experience and wants to not only treat your cysts, but work to prevent them! While Dr. Whittaker wasn't able to go through all the different kinds of cysts in this one episode, she does cover what cysts are, what's normal vs. abnormal, how you can treat them (without birth control), and even prevent them! This is a stellar episode, that I know you'll find helpful! If you would like to work with Dr. Whittaker, you can contact Divine Mercy Medical Center in Carlisle, PA.

| Ep. 96: Theological Considerations with IVF | 03 Nov 2023 | 00:19:11 | |
If you're considering IVF, you've been down a difficult road. There are so many things to consider as you discern your next steps. For Christians, some of those considerations will be theological. Artificial Reproductive Technologies offer so many options, but how do we discern which direction God is leading? At listener's request, this episode shares a few theological considerations for IVF to help get the conversation started. Ideally, these conversations would then continue within trusted relationships and communities in your life (spouse, family, church, etc).

Many of us may not come out and say, "My body is bad!" But how many of us confidently proclaim, "My body is good!" Negative thoughts about our body sneak into our lives in unexpected ways.

Is fertility appreciation helpful for single women? If a woman isn't in a relationship and fertility isn't even a topic of consideration, is it beneficial for her to pay attention to her cycles and improve her hormonal health? Today, Caitlin talks with Elizabeth, an FCP Intern, who shares why fertility appreciation and the Creighton system is truly beneficial for ALL women - regardless of phase of life or pregnancy goals!

After repeated pregnancy losses without answers, and trying every natural remedy from supplements to diet to cleanses, Bethany went in search of new options. She wanted the best of the best, but where could she even begin looking? It was her husband that first suggested, "Maybe we should start by addressing your period pain. That isn't normal." (Way to go, husband!) That conversation led her to working with Dr. Patrick Yeung at Restore Endo Clinic and finally getting the dignified care--and treatment--she has long deserved. Hear Bethany's story and be sure to go back to listen to Dr. Yeung himself share about his clinic and his technique. NOTE: This episode does discuss early pregnancy loss.

| Ep. 84: Early Pregnancy with NaproTechnology | 11 Aug 2023 | 00:14:10 | |
When you find out you're pregnant, you'll often think about all that's to come: gender reveal, labor & delivery, the newborn phase! But those first few weeks of pregnancy are critical. While many standard OBGYN offices don't see you until 8-12 weeks for an ultrasound, NaproTechnology OBGYN offices do things a little differently. They want to see you early and often in those first few weeks of pregnancy. In today's episode, we talk about why they do things differently and what to consider as you decide which approach is best for you. Other great ways to connect with Woven Natural Fertility Care:
