Episode Summary
In this episode, I break down uterine immunology - what it actually means, why implantation is an immune process, and how immune imbalance inside the uterus can block pregnancy even when standard autoimmune labs look “normal.” I walk you through a complex case of recurrent IVF failure, thick uterine lining, polyps, and persistent inflammation to show you how I think through immune mapping, methylation, coagulation, iron overload, infection panels, and male partner involvement. An “angry uterus” is not random, the immune system activates in response to something. If you’ve been told everything looks fine but pregnancy still isn’t happening, this may be the missing piece.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The immune system's role in embryo acceptance and implantation
Common signs and symptoms of uterine immunology issues
The significance of inflammation, autoimmunity, and environment in fertility
How to interpret testing for autoimmune markers, inflammation, and immune mapping
The importance of treating both partners and addressing the microbiome
Connections between diet, toxins, methylation, and immune regulation
Case examples illustrating complex fertility challenges
Practical steps to assess and support uterine health for a successful pregnancy
