Secondary Infertility: Why It Happens & What You Can Do

Struggling to conceive again after having your first baby? You’re not alone. Many women assume that if they got pregnant easily the first time, baby #2 (or #3) will be just as simple—but reality often tells a different story.

In this episode of Egg Meets Sperm, Dr. Aumatma Simmons breaks down why fertility struggles after baby #1 are more common than you think and what you can do about it.

👉 Here’s what we’re covering in today’s episode:

✔️ Why Your Hormones May Still Be Out of Whack Postpartum

✔️ The Nutritional Depletion No One Talks About

✔️ Age vs. Oxidative Stress – What’s REALLY Impacting Your Fertility?

✔️ Your Partner’s Fertility Matters Too!

✔️ The Hidden Factor: Your Vaginal Microbiome & Fertility

✔️ Recurrent Pregnancy Loss & The Emotional Impact

✔️ The RIGHT Way to Prepare for Baby #2 (or #3!)

Trying to Conceive Again? Here’s What to Do Next:

✅ Step 1: Get the right tests – hormones, nutrients, vaginal microbiome, and sperm analysis.

✅ Step 2: Replenish your body with the right nutrition & balance hormones naturally.

✅ Step 3: Follow a tailored plan to optimize fertility and shorten the time to conception.
