About this episode

In this episode of From First Period to Last Period, Sarah bravely recounts her ectopic pregnancy — a harrowing experience that included a ruptured fallopian tube and uterus — and how it ultimately inspired her to pursue a career in nursing.

Kristyn and ⁠Dr. Jenna Kahn⁠ answer some of your most pressing fertility questions: I’m in my late 30s — how can I improve my egg quality for IVF or natural conception? And what’s the real deal with fertility supplements — are they worth it, or just wishful thinking?

In breakthrough news, we discuss a promising new blood test for early detection of ovarian cancer — a disease that’s often caught too late. Could this innovation change the game for survival rates?

Plus, a quick but essential guide to cancer screenings: how to recognize early signs of ovarian cancer, when to get a mammogram, and the latest pap smear guidelines you should know.
