I love this podcast! It's very informative and inspiring.
Hopeful and helpful
November 15, 2016 by Nic2561 from United States
I love this podcast. I don't remember exactly how or when I found it. I downloaded a couple of episodes and promptly forgot about it, convinced I wouldn't even need it and would get pregnant sooner than I thought. Sadly not the case but luckily I have found hope through the stories shared and answers through some of the other informative episodes. I'm so thankful to Heather and everyone involved with this podcast. I just joined the community as my journey with infertility continues. Thank you so much for all of this.
Lifesaver
May 7, 2016 by SarahWfromTX2016 from United States
Since being diagnosed with DOR, this podcast has been a lifesaver. I have learned so much about all things infertility. There are even stories about adoption that are so wonderful and informative (bring extra tissues for those!). My favorite part of the show is when Heather asks the guests what hope they can provide for those at the beginning of their infertility journey (me!). Keep up the amazing work!
great information
April 22, 2016 by Rbsss83 from Canada
I’ve found this podcast to be very informative, I especially like the interviews with the RE’s. My husband has tried it but is put off because it’s so geared so towards women. Men are half of the equation it’s too bad that this excludes them in some ways. There’s a lot of “hey Girl” and BFF talk that seems to dumb it down in a way. I love the content though.
Going through infertility? Listen to this!
March 25, 2016 by Ado2pod from United States
This podcast was a real lifesaver, making me feel so much less alone after hearing all these other women's stories. The info from Dr. Rodgers is also incredibly helpful. If you've just found this podcast, go back through the feed and start at episode 1. Totally worth it to listen to each one.
Finally fertility talk that doesn't dumb it down!
February 9, 2016 by desertflower01 from United States
I am so touched and impressed by the amount of work and love that the host Heather puts into this podcast. The internet abounds with old wives' tales and outdated or even made-up science about fertility, conception and loss. This podcast covers all the important facts that you never even knew to ask your providers- plus the stories are touching and real. If you want to spend your online infertility research on productive and useful ideas that you can use to advocate for yourself, this is the podcast for you. I feel so lucky to be going through this heart breaking journey at the same time Heather created this resource for us.
OMG!
February 3, 2016 by Caa53090 from United States
Only one thing I hate about this show is how long I have to wait between Monday to Friday for the next episode to come out. HAHA! This podcast is a life saver. Epoisodes are so well done and informative I love refering back to them. This show is inspiring and great to listen to while jogging or driving. Good Job Heather! Im really excited youll be able to hold your baby soon! You got this! Wishing everyone else luck as well!
Great, informative and upbeat!
January 8, 2016 by Pamesreviews from Canada
This podcast is a great resource for those going thru or considering going through assisted reproduction. (Or family and friends of someone who is looking to learn more!) Heather is so positive and her approach is a source of inspiration. Hearing others journeys has made me feel like I'm not alone. Keep up the amazing work!
Amazing podcast!
December 13, 2015 by chaserpalmer from United States
I found this podcast on Instagram (of all places) and had to start from the beginning. Heather talks about a lot of different topics, and even has different doctors on to help answer questions (and have even answered one of my questions). If you yourself are struggling with infertility or you know someone who is struggling, this podcast is a must!
So wonderful!
November 12, 2015 by Mtroth from United States
I love the mix of stories and professionals in the show. Brings such hope to those struggling to build their families. Thanks, Heather!
Corny but informative
November 10, 2015 by Idreamofbubbles from United States
I get a lot of great information from this podcast. It's the best infertility pod on iTunes as far as I can tell. It can be a bit corny and there's a little forced cheerfulness, but I think many women may like this. I think Heather is great and she's been through a lot, but it bothers me when a guest is telling their story and often, she brings up her experience and how it was "exactly the same" or even worse. It sounds pretty dismissive of the guest's experience. I really enjoy the show and hearing the stories and interviews with experts.
So uplifting
October 27, 2015 by Lindz2205 from United States
This podcast is great, part very useful medical information and advise, part real life stories. In a part of life that can be so stressful, it gives me hope.
Informative and hopeful
October 23, 2015 by Kimmibobs from United Kingdom
This is a great podcast series, really helpful and full of information. I've learned loads through listening and I'm sure others will find it very interesting. It's also got a really nice tone of cautious optimism and it's great to be able to follow the stories of other listeners.
Amazing, heartfelt podcast!
October 15, 2015 by Nsla1942 from United States
This is such an amazing podcast for anyone dealing with infertility or having trouble trying to get pregnant. Heather is an amazing host and shares her own stories so candidly. The guests always provide me with new information and hope. I listen to all of these episodes in a matter of one day. Highly recommended!
Yay for IF awareness!
September 22, 2015 by Mtroth from United States
I am so so happy that Heather has taken on this adventure of sharing infertility stories and bringing more awareness to the masses. Not only is it educational, but it is uplifting and supportive for so many people experiencing this massive life stressor. Good going, Heather!
Love it!
August 14, 2015 by Justin at House Flipping HQ from United States
Love the openness and focus on encouragement in this show. This is something so many people struggle with and it’s great to hear the insights and perspectives shared by Heather and her guests. Thank you!

You have a great show Heather! This is such a big topic right now, and people need help getting pregnant without spending all kinds of time and money on in-vitro options. Great show!
a hopeful guide on a tough journey
July 30, 2015 by Freelance Lance from United States
I learned how tough the road to fertility can be in and acute way from a client of mine recently. There are so many potential bumps in the road and hurdles to overcome! The show's host Heather is committed to overcoming all obstacles through persistence, information, and the support of a community, and has created a great resource for any struggling woman in the process!
This podcast will help you
July 26, 2015 by Edie Berg from Israel

As someone that has many friends and family that have dealt with infertility, I love that they now have a podcast where they can turn for support to know they are not alone.
WOW! What you are doing is amazing
July 10, 2015 by Jbower1282 from United States
Heather this was an amazing show. The topic is such an intense one, but you did a great job of balancing needed information and, at the same time, giving people hope in that they are not alone.

Infertility after two kids
July 3, 2015 by Melimel35089 from United States
This is a wonderful source of information. Especially based on real experiences. I had a hard time with infertility I never understood many woman that went thru it. I'm grateful that I was able to have two wonderful boys, 12 and 5. In May of 2007 I had laparoscopy that removed lesions I had in my uterus as a product of PID don't know how I had that infection in 2005 could by using douches and scented tampons. Well needless to say I lived a healthy lifestyle and in 2010 I conceived with the help of pre seed my little one. I always been fertile but in my mother side in late 20's and early thirties have very bad issues with fertility to the point my mom and aunt had hysterectomy at age 32. After battling cervical cancer. Flash forward to last year I lost twins and then a ectopic. They found huge cysts and in December I had surgery and the doctor found early stage of endometriosis. With further testing found out I have APS syndrome it's an autoimmune disease that would require heparin shots and baby aspirin. Now my biggest problem is High prolactin that I hits ovulation and implantation. I have periods but very irregular I never had that. I had MRI and now awaiting medication and some more testing hoping to conceive. What's heart breaking is some friends getting pregnant and doing drugs I just couldn't and they can't never understand my anger towards their actions and lack of understanding. But I'm not alone thank god!
We overcame infertility scare, fun podcast
July 3, 2015 by Mark - Wisdom From Dads Host from United States
Great show with Heather championing conquering getting pregnant. We, like many couples struggled with this, and have overcome it. It is great hearing other stories of people in this journey. Take heart if this is a concern for you.
Gotta be real
July 3, 2015 by colinpthomson from United States
This show is packed with useful advice on this important topic!
You are not alone!
July 3, 2015 by Stephanie Dalfonzo from United States
Great information and certainly brings reief to those struggling with infertility to know they are not alone
Not just another speculation-filled message board
July 3, 2015 by EMJE80 from United States
This podcast is excellent for information and support regarding infertility. You may have had this experience: you Google search a topic regarding infertility. The results that you find are lots of others commenting on said topic (sweet validation!!) however, there seems to be lots of speculation and possibly misinformation. The most frustrating part for me is you may many women commenting about their "BFP" but you never hear how things turned out! Not so for the Beat Infertility podcast! In fact, listener stories are followed through from beginning to end and stories are balanced with information from experts like Dr. Rodgers. As someone who gets to the doctor's office and then forgets follow-up questions and concerns, I greatly appreciate this podcast because others are asking my questions and I get answers that are more than just speculation. Thank you for this great resource regarding infertility!
Literally the most uplifting podcast and community
July 3, 2015 by SuperFreshOrganicNewbie from United States
Loved finding a place I could find weekly encouragement. I recommend it everyone! Keep up the great work.
Great resource, positive vibe
July 2, 2015 by Meganthegreat1 from United States
Heather's voice is very relaxing. She is knowledgeable and often interviews experts to help explain conditions and medical processes to listeners who are new to infertility. I love that she is helping to remove the taboo about talking about infertility. Go Heather!
Honest & Encouraging Podcast!
July 2, 2015 by AllyM14 from United States
I appreciate Heather sharing her story, and creating this informative & supportive community! Her guests have been wonderful and share fantastic resources. I love that the podcast is positive and upbeat when discussing such emotional topics. I highly recommend listening to Beat Infertility!
Great advice delivered in a positive manner
July 2, 2015 by misscaroleanne from United States
Last week, my doctor diagnosed me with “unexplained infertility” (which is basically no diagnosis at all). After hearing that, I felt like there was nothing more that could be done. I listened to Heather’s podcast about this subject, and it filled me with the best kind of hope - the kind based on the reality that there actually ARE options for me. Listening to the podcast, I feel like one of my good friends is giving me advice over a cup of tea. Except better, because in real life, my friends have no idea what I’m going through. I love that Heather is so positive, and speaks in an upbeat voice. I’ve been feeling so dark and depressed lately that even her tone of voice has helped to lift me out of that depression into a healthier place.
Great resource for infertility
July 2, 2015 by TrekGirlND from United States
Heather offers a wonderful resource in this podcast. No matter where you are in your infertility journey, you will find hope and stories to relate to. Infertility is isolating and scary, but this makes it far less so.
Wonderful
July 2, 2015 by MissyjoyM1975 from Canada
I would highly recommend listening to this wonderfully informative and up to date podcast. Much appreciation for this to listen through when I need it.
I LOVE THIS PODCAST!!
July 2, 2015 by Mooresarac from United States
Finding the Beat Infertility podcast has been such a great thing for me! Anyone going through infertility knows how truly terrible and heartbreaking it can be. Most people you meet going through this are so negative. It is refreshing to listen to someone who is living the same thing as you who has a great outlook on it. I love how upbeat Heather, the host, is and I love hearing other success stories. I have learned that I am not alone in what I'm going through, but that doesn't lessen what I'm feeling. It is great to hear from and about others with similar struggles who did finally have their happy, healthy babies. It keeps me hopeful and I think that's huge in infertility.
Great Podcast, Great Information
June 28, 2015 by MasterZinja from United States
Keep up the hard work of providing useful and important content to your audience.
Great Niche Topic!
June 27, 2015 by Legal Marketing Launch from United States
This is a topic that affects so many couples, but there aren't a lot of accessible resources on the subject. I am glad that this podcast addresses the subject of infertility in such a helpful way!
This podcast is necessary!
June 26, 2015 by Adi80 from United States
We are so scared of talking about infertility! Thank you for having a show that hits on every up and down of the roller coaster that infertility takes you on.
Wow
June 26, 2015 by Justin Glover from United States

June 22, 2015 by Chloe Thomas eCommerce from United Kingdom
I dare you to listen to this and not well up. Heather really does lay it all on the line, and some great support and guideance too.
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO
June 21, 2015 by Rick @ The Coming Out Lounge from United States
I found Heather, kind of by accident. I’m not infertile nor is my husband - were gay! However, I have a lot of friends who are trying to beat this little infertile beast and it was refreshing to find Heather. I listened to a couple of podcasts before I referred anyone to it. Glad I listened and I gladly will keep referring people to this great podcast.
Thank you!
June 20, 2015 by CharlesB.604 from Canada

Useful podcast.

Much needed authenticity on an understated issue.
June 5, 2015 by Erika V. D. F. from United States
Infertility isn't something that should be swept under the rug. It's an issue that affects so many and to see Heather take action in leading a movement like this is inspiring to say the least. It's often said that you can choose to either be part of the problem or part of the solution, and Heather chose to be a part of the solution -- to join forces with women struggling with the same thing and make them feel validated and less alone. I admire people who use the strength and wisdom they've gained from their personal struggles to help others. And Heather executes this with poise, openness and authenticity that makes you feel as if she's your best friend chatting with you in your living room.
Great Niche

Glad to See This!
June 2, 2015 by Greekfire15 from United States
This podcast is needed. While my husband and I haven’t come to the point in our lives when we want to expand our family, Facebook has opened my world to dozens upon dozens of women in my life who struggle with infertility, and it breaks their hearts. Several have beat infertility, and others have decided that adoption is in their future, but all are beautiful mothers nonetheless. I can’t understand what it’s like, but I know they’ll find strength in this podcast knowing they too aren’t alone!
This will be a huge help for many would-be parents

The heartfelt conversations Heather is having are inspiring.
