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.

Monday May 19, 2025
Are you feeling the pressure to “just do IVF” after months of trying to conceive post-vasectomy reversal?
You’re not alone—and you’re not without options.
In this deeply honest and eye-opening episode, I’m breaking down what most couples aren’t told about IVF. From success rates and emotional costs to the ethical questions no one prepares you for, we’re going beyond the surface to give you the full truth—so you can make this decision from a place of peace, not panic.
You’ll learn:
✔️ Why IVF is often recommended too soon after reversal
✔️ What the real success rates look like (and how age really factors in)
✔️ The financial, physical, and emotional toll of IVF most couples aren’t warned about
✔️ What IVF post-reversal actually entails—ICSI, sperm retrieval, and more
✔️ The ethical and faith-based considerations that deserve your attention
✔️ 5 critical things every couple should do before considering IVF
Whether you’re just a few months into trying or you’re feeling exhausted by the wait, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and more empowered in your next step—whatever that looks like.
XO,
Susan
