39:53

Change is hard, especially when they involve endings of things we’re sad to see go. And we’re definitely sad to see The Whole Pineapple go. In this very special, final (for now?) episode, Ruby, Anne, Jamie, and podcast producer Shannon Perry reflect on how difficult it can be to say goodbye. But as A.A. Milne says in the voice of Winnie the Pooh, “…

Episode 44: Fertility Preservation after a Cancer Diagnosis 40:04

12M ago40:04

40:04

A diagnosis of cancer or other serious condition is bad enough — dealing with tests, treatments, insurance, uncertainty, as well as the illness — but knowing that the condition or its treatments can also cause infertility…. It just feels so horribly unfair. The good news is for many, that diagnosis doesn’t have to equal the end of fertility. The la…

18:45

Note: This episode contains news on the future of The Whole Pineapple podcast, so be sure to tune in! There’s a difference between “letting go” and “giving up,” right? Giving up is relinquishing control; letting go is making the decision that this path isn’t serving you right now and it’s time to make a change. But even if letting go is your decisi…

Snack 82: Equal Playing Field: Bonus Episode with OL Reign 27:59

1y ago27:59

27:59

For women athletes, it can sometimes feel like the playing field is so tilted, they’re constantly running uphill to reach their goals. (Seriously, could this analogy BE any better?) There’s been progress, say our guests for this episode, OL Reign players Lu Barnes and Nikki Stanton, but parity is still a long ways off. The way women are (mis)treate…

41:18

If, unlike Anne, you’re not already a season ticket holder for the OL Reign, and you do live in the Seattle area, maybe consider grabbing your seats now. Like most women’s sports, tickets are less expensive than the men’s and certainly less than they’re worth! In this episode, we hear from OL Reign players Lu Barnes and Nikki Stanton on the joys an…

1y ago34:44

34:44

OK, we knew the human gut had one of these, but the vagina too? What’s actually going on in there? Microbiomes are incredibly diverse ecosystems: we are more bacteria than we are human. Yep. Read that again — there are more bacteria in us than human cells. You, my friend, are a moving, breathing microcosm that is incredibly cooperative when you’re …

Episode 41: Whole Person Fertility Care 29:28

1y ago29:28

29:28

Scheduling to record with this guest was a bit of a journey of its own, but the end result was totally worth it!

Snack 79: Fertility Through the Decades: Middle School to Menopause 25:06

25:06

As anyone born with a uterus will tell you, living in a body equipped with one of these and all that goes with it comes with a special set of challenges. And many of us don’t really know all we need to know, so think of this episode as a sort of Owner’s Manual. So what do we need to know through the decades of our life? TEEN YEARS: Irregular period…

Snack 78: How to Prevent Ectopic Pregnancies 15:28

1y ago15:28

15:28

Ectopic pregnancies may be rare, but given how devastating and dangerous they can be, taking steps to prevent them is never a bad idea! For those worried about ectopic pregnancies, remember they generally amount to only 1-2 percent of pregnancies. For those who have had an ectopic pregnancy, that number may go up to 10 percent, but it’s still unlik…

Episode 40: What Do You Mean My Pregnancy is Ectopic? 29:53

1y ago29:53

29:53

Ectopic pregnancy is when the pregnancy implants outside the uterus, most often in the fallopian tubes. As much as 1-2 percent of pregnancies end up in this category, even when the pregnancy results from IVF. In this episode, Ruby and Anne talk with Dr. Amy Criniti, another member of the Seattle Reproductive Medicine team, about some of the questio…

25:32

July 25, 1978 was a great day, and not just because July 25 is Ruby’s birthday. This particular day in 1978, the first IVF baby, Louise Brown, was born! IVF is a lot different now than it was then — a lot was learned on the way to this first successful human pregnancy, and a lot has been learned since. In this snack, Ruby and Anne are talking about…

1+ y ago20:49

20:49

With laws and regulations changing so fast and all over the place, it can feel overwhelming and futile to try to do anything at all. But it’s important that we don’t give up and let decisions be made for us. What can people who aren’t professional lobbyists do to make our voices heard? According to Sean Tipton, you can do exactly that – you can mak…

Snack 73: Talking Yourself (& Your Vacuum) Off a Cliff 27:34

1+ y ago27:34

27:34

How do you stop “catastrophizing”? And if it’s not clear from context, “catastrophizing” is the art/science/self-destructive spin-out of getting stuck in what Bridget Jones referred to as a “negative thought bog,” like getting mired in a swamp of despair. Like “doom scrolling,” catastrophizing is that rut of negativity you just can’t seem to fight …

Snack 72: Listener Story: Julie's with Termination of Pregnancy for Medical Reasons 54:04

1+ y ago54:04

54:04

We often refer to fertility as a “journey” — but sometimes it can feel like a slog through disappointment, bewildering medical terminology, treatments, surgical termination, physical and emotional pain, and more horrors that you really don’t need us to list out. One of the hardest parts may be feeling so isolated, like no one’s journey has been as …

Snack 71: Exor-Cyst: Demystifying the Common Ovarian Cyst 29:59

1+ y ago29:59

29:59

Q: What is a cyst? A: It’s a pocket of fluid. Q: Why do I have cysts? A: Because you have ovaries. Q: Is it bad? A: Great question. Let’s talk. Not all cysts are bad news. In fact, bodies with ovaries generate cysts pretty regularly as part of the menstrual cycle. For example, what you see on an ultrasound isn’t the egg; the egg is inside a “follic…
