Are you exhausted by the monthly rollercoaster of hope and heartbreak, wondering if God’s plan includes the baby you’re praying for after a vasectomy reversal? You’re doing everything you can—clean eating, supplements, tracking ovulation, maybe even testing sperm quality—but each negative test leaves you crushed. The isolation, the financial strain, and watching others get pregnant easily can make you feel like you’re failing or being left behind. You wonder, “What’s wrong with me? Why isn’t this working?” You are not alone. Welcome to Conceiving After Vasectomy Reversal, a faith-based podcast where your struggles are understood, your feelings are validated, and your hope is renewed. This is your safe space to find holistic fertility support, spiritual encouragement, and practical steps to improve your chances of conceiving naturally after a vasectomy reversal. I’m Susan Gladstein, a Board Certified Health Coach, Functional Nutrition & Fertility Practitioner, and a mom who’s been in your shoes. My husband and I faced the endless waiting, the crushing disappointment, and the constant “Why not us?” after his vasectomy reversal. It took prayer, surrender, and a holistic approach to health to finally hold our miracle baby. Now, I’m here to help you meet yours. In this podcast, we’ll cover: - Real-life stories from couples who know exactly how you feel. - Fertility strategies to support both you and your partner—nutrition, supplements, and sperm health. - What doctors don’t always tell you, like why “normal” lab results might not be “optimal” for conception. - Faith-based encouragement and prayers to help you stay hopeful, even when it feels impossible. You’re not crazy. You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You’re walking a hard path, but there is hope. Together, let’s nurture your body, renew your faith, and take confident steps toward the family you’re dreaming of. As Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Even in the waiting, God is working. I’m here to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and the belief that He’s preparing you for the family you’ve been praying for.

Trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal can put more strain on a marriage than you ever expected. The stress of negative tests, tracking cycles, and waiting for your miracle can leave you feeling disconnected from the person you love most.
But what if this season of waiting could actually strengthen your relationship instead of breaking it down?
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Kaitlan Merz, who opens up about her five-year fertility journey, including a failed IVF cycle, multiple surgeries, and a missed endometriosis diagnosis. She shares how she and her husband, Nick, navigated the emotional toll of infertility, rebuilt their faith, and grew closer together despite the challenges.
We talk about:
- How TTC stress impacts your marriage—and how to protect it
- Why honest conversations and faith are game-changers for intimacy and connection
- The importance of advocating for your health, especially when doctors miss key diagnoses like endometriosis
- How to stay emotionally and spiritually close, even when the wait feels endless
If you’ve ever felt like trying to conceive after vasectomy reversal is taking a toll on your marriage, this episode is for you. Press play now to hear how you can protect your relationship, grow in faith, and navigate this season together—stronger than ever.
XO,
Susan
