The Missing Piece? How Your Vaginal Microbiome Could Impact Fertility, IVF Success and Pregnancy

When couples are struggling to conceive, most of the focus is placed on hormones, egg quality, sperm health and timing. But could there be another important piece of the fertility puzzle that many people have never heard about?

In this fascinating episode of The Conscious Conception Show, I am joined by Dr Josiane Chuissseu, founder of Avline Health, to explore the emerging science of the vaginal microbiome and its potential impact on fertility, implantation, IVF outcomes and pregnancy.

We discuss why the balance of bacteria within the vaginal environment matters, how disruptions may affect reproductive health, and what women can do to better understand and support this often-overlooked aspect of fertility. As well as exploring the link between the gut and vaginal microbiome.

If you've been told everything looks normal, are preparing for IVF, or simply want to optimise your chances of conceiving and having a healthy baby, this conversation may open your eyes to an exciting new area of fertility science.
