Ep 194. Pregnancy After 35: What Every Mum Needs to Know About Fertility and Birth

Many women are starting families later in life, and for some, that means turning to IVF. But what’s fact, what’s myth, and what really matters when you’re navigating fertility in your late 30s or 40s?

In this episode, Dr Renee White speaks with Dr Kellie Tathem, a Fertility Specialist, Gynaecologist and Obstetrician at Queensland Fertility Group. Kellie has a special interest in endometriosis, pelvic pain and fertility care. She’s passionate about making sure women have clear information and the space to make informed choices.

You’ll hear about:

  • The biggest fertility myths women face in their 30s and 40s
  • When to consider IVF and how long to try naturally first
  • Egg freezing, donor eggs and embryo donation explained
  • How age affects fertility, pregnancy and birth outcomes
  • What lifestyle factors really make a difference for egg and sperm health

This episode is here to give you evidence-based answers and support if you’re thinking about IVF, considering egg freezing, or planning pregnancy later in life.
