The Fertility Journeys Podcast features diverse stories of women who have navigated infertility helping to break the silence and stigma that still surrounds infertility. While infertility is a disease that impacts 1 in 8 couples and is not uncommon, most stories are never shared and thus it can be terribly isolating and lonely. In this podcast, Dr. Shala Salem, M.D., discusses topics to support you on your fertility journey, while optimizing health and wellness using integrative techniques. Dr. Salem has worked with patients on their fertility journey for over a decade. She was fellowship trained in Integrative Medicine under the world renowned expert Dr. Andrew Weil, and now uses her training to support those struggling with infertility. Integrative Medicine takes into consideration all factors that influence health and wellness: the mind, body, spirit and community and combines alternative and conventional methods to facilitate the body‘s own healing response. On the Fertility Journeys Podcast you will hear from experts who specialize in mental health, mind-body, nutrition, acupuncture, environmental toxins and more, to help educate you on the things that not only will support optimal fertility, but achieve optimal wellness for you.

Narissa Roper- Faith and Hope on my Fertility Journey

Tuesday Mar 15, 2022

On this episode of Fertility Journeys, Dr. Shala Salem, MD, speaks with Narissa Roper, a Wife, Mom and Infertility Advocate. Narissa and her husband Kenneth began their IVF journey in 2018 with a male factor, and after a few tests following two failed transfers, Narissa was diagnosed with Chronic Endometritis. After treatment they had a successful transfer and their daughter Kennedy was conceived. Their next transfer sadly ended in a early miscarriage and they began again on a 2nd retrieval round which produced 2 beautiful embryos ready for transfer. They are thankful to God for all of His Blessings, and are in constant prayer for everyone in the infertility community.

Narissa has a blog called a "Bundle of Faith" that documents their journey and focuses on the ups and downs of infertility.

She can be found on instagram under the handle @narissaroperart where she documents and vlogs about their journey and advocates for the infertility community.
