Trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal—and wondering why it’s taking so long? You’re tracking ovulation, eating clean, taking supplements… and still staring down another negative test. It’s frustrating, emotional, and honestly—you wanted a baby like yesterday. Welcome to Conceiving After Vasectomy Reversal, the faith-based fertility podcast for couples who are doing everything right and still waiting for their miracle. I’m Susan Gladstein, a holistic fertility practitioner, functional nutrition specialist, and mom of seven—including two miracle babies born in my 40s after my husband’s vasectomy reversal. Each week, you’ll get faith-based encouragement, natural fertility tips, and honest conversations about hormone health, sperm quality, cycle tracking, and what doctors don’t always explain. Whether you’re months into trying or years post-reversal, this podcast will help you cut through the noise, support your body, and walk in faith—one hopeful step at a time. Even in the waiting, God is working.

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
