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.

Monday Jan 13, 2025
Are you staring at your semen analysis results, feeling completely lost? You’re not alone. So many couples in this journey feel confused and overwhelmed by the numbers and wonder if they’re doing enough—or even the right things—to improve their chances of conceiving. Maybe you’re asking yourself, “Are these results normal?” or “Is my sperm health actually getting better?” or “What should we even focus on next?” If this sounds like you, this episode is exactly what you need.
We’re diving into the nitty-gritty of semen analysis after a vasectomy reversal and breaking it down in a way that actually makes sense. You’ll learn why it’s not about one single test but looking at trends over time to see if you’re moving in the right direction. We’ll talk about why regular testing is so important and how it can give you the information you need to feel more confident and less anxious about your fertility journey.
We’ll also cover simple changes you can make to naturally improve sperm health. Plus, we’ll talk about at-home sperm tests—what they’re good for, what they’re not, and how to use them alongside professional testing to get a better picture of where you stand.
If you’re feeling stuck, second-guessing yourself, or unsure of how to move forward, this episode will help you cut through the noise and give you the clarity and confidence you’ve been searching for.

Trying to conceive after a vasectomy reversal isn’t always the simple journey we hope for. Sydney Clark’s story is a powerful reminder that while the road to parenthood can be long and filled with heartache, faith, persistence, and the right steps can make miracles happen. In this episode, Sydney shares the intimate details of her four-year fertility journey, which included two vasectomy reversals (VE and VV), a heartbreaking miscarriage, and ultimately the arrival of her long-awaited rainbow baby.
After initially thinking the process would be straightforward, Sydney and her husband faced setback after setback. Their first vasectomy reversal (VE) did not succeed, and they quickly realized that not all reversals are created equal. Sydney dives into her experience with both types of reversals—the simpler in-office VE and the more complex VV (vasovasostomy)—and how a lack of proper testing led them to a difficult realization about the importance of optimal hormone health for both partners.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone facing the pain of fertility setbacks. Sydney’s raw honesty about her journey will leave you feeling hopeful, supported, and encouraged. Tune in as she shares the invaluable lessons learned over four years of struggle, and how her faith, persistence, and the right medical guidance brought her baby home.
