Infertility, IVF & IUI Explained: A Fertility Nurse Breaks Down the Reality of Fertility Treatment

Infertility affects millions of families, but many people still don't understand what fertility treatment actually involves. In this episode of Balanced Mama Project Radio, we speak with Katerina Jones, RN — a fertility nurse and founder of Full Bloom Fertility — about the realities of infertility, IVF, and assisted reproductive technologies. If you've ever wondered: • What is the difference between IVF and IUI? • How much does fertility treatment cost in the United States? • When should you see a fertility specialist? • What does the fertility treatment process actually look like? • How does infertility impact mental health and relationships? This episode breaks down the science, the emotional journey, and the real challenges people face when trying to build their families. Katerina also shares why representation in fertility care matters, and how education and advocacy can help close the fertility knowledge gap — particularly for Black and Brown communities. ⏱ Episode Topics 00:00 Welcome to Balanced Mama Project Radio 02:00 Katerina’s journey into fertility nursing 07:45 Understanding IVF, IUI & Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) 14:00 Who is on a fertility treatment team? 20:30 The real cost of fertility care 27:30 Physical and emotional impact of IVF cycles 32:00 Social and relationship effects of infertility 33:45 When to see a fertility specialist 36:45 Final advice for people trying to conceive 👩🏾‍⚕️ Guest: Katerina Jones, RN Founder of Full Bloom Fertility Nearly 10 years of reproductive health experience helping individuals and couples navigate fertility treatment.
