As someone who has supported thousands of people going through IVF, a common conversation that I have is about injections. From not knowing how to do them, if they were measuring the right dosage, or why progesterone in oil hurts so much.
My guest today takes the guess work out of injections in a variety of ways!
Leyla Bilali is the Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer at Dandi. Leyla’s unique perspective as both a fertility expert and IVF patient provide her great insight into the type of care that fertility patients so desperately need.
With more than a decade of nursing experience, Leyla started her career as a pediatric nurse before pivoting to the field of reproductive endocrinology. She honed her skills at one of NYC’s top fertility clinics, where she helped thousands of patients. Leyla quickly realized her calling as “The Fertility Fairy Godmother,” and founded her own fertility consulting service, Fertility Together, to provide patients personalized, compassionate care throughout their IVF journey, supporting patients in all the critical moments outside of the clinic.
Here is what we covered: Leyla’s journey from fertility nurse to fertility patient The importance of fertility nurses during IVF The gaps in IVF care All about injections and what patients need to feel confident with administering them Progesterone In Oil shots and why the hurt so damn much The IVF Care Kit at Dandi Fertility How Layla got the name The Fertility Fairy Godmother
I learned so much in the episode and I think you will too!
