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.

Miscarriage is an experience no one wants to face, yet so many women do—often in silence. In this episode, I sit down with Allison Schaaf, founder of Miscarriage Hope Desk, to talk about the emotional and physical toll of pregnancy loss, how to process grief, and what it looks like to find hope again.
Whether you're trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal, navigating recurrent pregnancy loss, or simply struggling with the uncertainty of your fertility journey, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone. Allison shares her personal story of six losses, what led her to create Miscarriage Hope Desk, and the resources she’s developed to help women advocate for themselves, find support, and heal emotionally and physically.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- The emotional toll of miscarriage and pregnancy after loss
- How to advocate for yourself with doctors and push for testing
- Common misconceptions about miscarriage and fertility
- The impact of miscarriage on marriage and how partners grieve differently
- Practical ways to process grief and find support
- Faith, healing, and trusting God’s timing
If you’ve experienced a miscarriage or are in the midst of a long fertility journey, this episode is for you.
XO,
Susan
