Your doctor throws acronyms at you like you’re in a spelling bee — AMH, FSH, HSG — and somehow you’re supposed to know if you’re still fertile?

In this brutally honest episode, Dr. Linnea Goodman joins IVF Daddies to decode the fertility alphabet soup: what those numbers actually mean, how to read your labs without crying, and why male fertility tests deserve equal airtime.
