The Curve How to Invest in Your Fertility Wisely, with Deirdre O'Neill.
đ WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE đ
Content note: this episode discusses fertility challenges.
In this episode, Soph sits down with Deirdre (co-founder of Hertility) to unpack what âinvesting in your fertilityâ actually means, medically and financially, at a time when many women feel pressure to make big life decisions without clear information. They explore the gap between being told to âjust freeze your eggsâ and actually understanding your hormone profile, why testing one number (AMH) isnât the full story, and how tracking your fertility over time can give you far more control than panic-driven decisions. The episode dives into the economics of fertility too: the rising cost of IVF, companies offering egg freezing as a workplace perk, and whether paying for treatment instead of prevention is missing the point entirely. Along the way, they tackle biological clocks, career timelines, societal pressure, medical gaslighting, and the emotional weight of not knowing. This is a candid, thought-provoking discussion about autonomy, trade-offs, and why information, medical and financial, is often the most powerful investment you can make.
