About the Host:

Tasha Blasi is an IVF consultant and Founder of IVF Uncovered (formerly the FU Project). Using her background in the sciences, and personally going through ten rounds of IVF for her two children, she has created a life mission to help patients doing IVF know as much as their doctor so they can ask better questions and get better treatment...all while bringing an unfiltered, humorous tone to this often heartbreaking subject.

In this episode of IVF Uncovered, Tasha Blasi discusses her personal experiences and strong opinions on the use of birth control, particularly within the context of IVF treatments. Listen in as she explores when and how birth control should be used, potential adverse effects, and why it may be overprescribed. Tasha also provides detailed recommendations for best practices in birth control priming, including key questions to ask your doctor and the specific scenarios where birth control might be necessary.

Topics Covered:

►When should birth control actually be used before IVF?
►Is birth control really necessary for your specific biology—or just part of a clinic’s routine?
►Could high FSH, high AMH, PCOS, or a short cycle actually warrant birth control, or is there another option?
►What are the risks of over-suppressing your ovaries before stimulation starts?
►Why do some follicles sprint while others freeze when birth control is used too long?
►Could your uneven follicle growth be caused by unnecessary suppression?
►Are you being prescribed higher doses of meds just to wake up ovaries that didn’t need shutting down in the first place?
►Why aren’t more doctors offering estrogen or progesterone-only priming instead of the pill?
►How long will you be on birth control—and what exactly are they hoping to accomplish in that time?
►Are your follicles small and even, estrogen between 40–80, and FSH under 10 before you stop the pill?
►Have you asked for a scan or labs before stopping birth control to avoid mistiming your retrieval?
►What happens if you stop the pill and get your period before confirming suppression worked?
►Does birth control make you feel emotionally off—or like the Hulk in heels?
►Could estrogen dominance be making you more sensitive to the effects of the pill?
►Are you being told it’s “just the protocol” or “we batch clients”—without any consideration for your biology?
►Have you ever been offered a priming strategy that wasn’t birth control?
►Do you know what questions to ask your doctor if birth control is recommended again?
►Is your clinic focused on their calendar—or your success rate?
►If you’ve already paid thousands for IVF, shouldn’t your protocol be based on what you need—not what’s convenient for them?
