Knocked Up: The Podcast About Fertility and Women's Health

We take a look decade by decade look at how fertility changes across your 20s, 30s and 40s. Dr Raelia explains why the 20s are considered the biological peak, with high egg number, high egg quality and fewer health conditions that can interfere with conception. She also unpacks why lifestyle choices, while always important, have comparatively less impact at this age due to stronger cellular health. For those not yet ready for parenthood, the discussion covers practical ways to protect future fertility, including STI prevention and why late 20s remain the optimal window for elective egg freezing. Moving into the 30s and 40s, the conversation explores how egg number, egg quality and natural conception rates gradually decline, why miscarriage becomes more common, and what this means for both natural conception and IVF success. Dr Raelia breaks down realistic expectations for each decade, when to seek specialist advice and how conditions like endometriosis often come to light in the 30s. The episode closes with grounded guidance for each age group, including the importance of not delaying parenthood unnecessarily, the role of genetic testing in IVF for women in their 40s and why men also experience age related fertility changes.

In this episode of Knocked Up, Jordi Morrison and Dr Raelia Lew unpack one of the newest breakthroughs in reproductive science: the creation of human egg cells from skin cells. Dr Raelia explains how stem cells work, what makes egg cells unique, and why this research is both exciting and still far from clinical use. Together they explore the science behind the process, the ethical and safety hurdles that must be overcome, and what it could mean for people who can no longer produce eggs naturally. While the potential is extraordinary, Dr Raelia reminds listeners that proven options like egg freezing remain the safest and most effective way to preserve fertility today.

In part one of understanding our fertility and peri/menopause, we unpack why fertility becomes more challenging as we approach perimenopause. Dr Raelia explains how shifting hormones, irregular cycles, and declining egg quality combine to make conception more difficult in our 40s. From understanding AMH and ovarian reserve to recognising the impact of age on egg health and miscarriage risk, this conversation explores what’s really happening to fertility in the decade before menopause and the options available for those still hoping to conceive. In part two we explore our options for conceiving in perimenopause and menopause. Find us on Instagram - @knockeduppodcast Join our community!

We are joined by Dr. Tzippora Ben-Harim, head of Gynecology at Women's Health Melbourne, about urinary incontinence after childbirth. Dr. Tzippi explains that urinary incontinence affects 1 in 3 to 1 in 4 women postpartum and occurs in two main forms: stress incontinence (leaking with coughing/sneezing) and urge incontinence (not making it to the toilet in time). The condition results from pressure on the pelvic floor during pregnancy, trauma from vaginal delivery, and postpartum estrogen deficiency, particularly in breastfeeding women.

What if the secret to boosting your fertility isn't just about tracking ovulation or taking prenatal vitamins, but actually lies in your digestive system? We are joined by gastroenterologist Dr. Lindy Jackson to uncover the surprising connection between gut health and fertility. Discover how the trillions of bacteria living in your bowel can influence your hormone levels, why stress might be sabotaging both your digestion and your chances of conception and how inflammatory bowel conditions can directly impact egg and sperm quality, and what those trendy microbiome tests actually mean for your reproductive health.

In our latest Knocked Up podcast episode we are joined by fertility specialist Dr. Violet Kieu to explore IVM—In Vitro Maturation—a promising alternative to IVF. Unlike IVF, IVM collects immature eggs and matures them in the lab, offering a shorter, less medicated (read injections) and more affordable fertility treatment. IVM could be ideal for women with high egg counts, PCOS, or those needing urgent fertility preservation before cancer treatment. We also explore Kappa IVM, an exciting new variation showing comparable success rates to IVF with fewer side effects. Is IVM right for you or someone you know?

Unlike traditional patient-centred care, embryo-centred care focuses on optimising every step of the IVF process to prioritise what gives the embryo the best chance of success. Dr. Lew explains that IVF is not a one-size-fits-all treatment and each patient requires a highly individualised plan, including careful timing of egg retrieval, embryo transfer, and even whether to transfer embryos fresh or frozen. Dr. Raelia explains how embryo-centred care influences lab decisions, the role of scientific expertise in scheduling, and why sometimes delaying pregnancy to bank embryos can lead to better long-term family outcomes. The approach often requires balancing patient desires with what’s biologically best for both the patient and the embryo, ultimately aiming to improve live birth rates and overall success in fertility treatment.

Understanding Male Fertility and Semen Analysis Male fertility plays a crucial role in conception, with male factors contributing to infertility in at least 50% of couples struggling to conceive, and being the sole issue in about 30% of cases. The semen analysis is the primary diagnostic tool for assessing male fertility, examining multiple parameters including sperm concentration, motility (movement), morphology (shape), volume, pH, and liquefaction time. Dr. Lew emphasizes that reference ranges can be confusing - for example, while 15 million sperm per milliliter is considered the lower limit of normal, healthy men often have counts of 100-150 million per milliliter. Importantly, no single semen analysis should be interpreted in isolation, as sperm production takes approximately 70 days and results can be affected by factors from months earlier like fever, illness, or stress. Advanced Testing and Treatment Considerations DNA fragmentation testing provides additional insights into sperm health that standard semen analysis cannot reveal. This testing helps distinguish between environmental factors (which may be modifiable through lifestyle changes, antioxidant therapy, or treating conditions like varicoceles) and genetic factors inherent to how an individual produces sperm. Key considerations include: • Testosterone replacement therapy actually shuts down sperm production entirely, despite low testosterone potentially causing low sperm counts • DNA fragmentation increases miscarriage risk and is associated with poorer embryo quality • Treatment approaches range from lifestyle modifications and intrauterine insemination (IUI) for milder cases to IVF with ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) for severe male factor infertility • Age affects both partners, with older fathers showing increased DNA fragmentation and associated risks for conditions like autism and schizophrenia in offspring, while delayed reproduction generally increases complexity for both male and female fertility.

Today we are joined by guest experts Dr. Vanessa Ross and Dr. Samantha Mooney to discuss new research on endometriosis and fertility. They explain that endometriosis affects about 1 in 7 women generally, but 1 in 3 infertile women, causing inflammation and scarring in the pelvis that can impact fertility. The experts discuss the challenging clinical dilemma of whether to recommend surgery or IVF for patients with moderate to severe endometriosis, noting there's currently no clear evidence supporting one approach over the other. We also learn more about their new Endometriosis Longitudinal Fertility Study (ELFs), which aims to gather data on fertility outcomes for women with endometriosis to provide better clinical guidance. They discuss how treatment decisions are often individualized based on factors like symptom severity, age, and partner fertility status. The experts express hope that within the next decade, their research will lead to clearer treatment pathways for patients with endometriosis who wish to conceive, as well as better understanding of how to ensure safe pregnancies for those who do.
