Sarah Phillipe joins We\\u2019re digging into breast implant illness and why this matters if you are TTC.
At every birthday during my teens when I blew out my candles my wish was always to make my breasts grow. Crazy right\\u2026who said big boobs were better?
I had a group of girlfriends where all of us had small boobs. And we often discussed getting implants. None of us did. I learned to love my small breasts \\u2013 that would never droop/sag or interfere with my intermittent love of jogging.
The American Society Of Plastics Surgeons reports that in 2018 over 313,000 breast implants, 101,000 reconstruction breast surgeries, and 27,000 breast explants (removal of breast implant) were conducted.
And breast implant illness is on the rise and is often misdiagnosed or brushed aside.
I recently listened to a TED talk about a woman who discussed the long list of health conditions she experienced and was told that it couldn\\u2019t be the breast implants because they were perfectly safe. She was even told to plan for her funeral \\u2013 she was that sick. And when the breast implants were removed she slowly began to regain her health.
What does this have to do with fertility? We have seen firsthand women being diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, diminished ovarian reserve, low AMH, high FSH, and being told that donor eggs are their only option \\u2013 when no one asked them about their breast implants.
This episode is a call to action. I literally was shocked by what women have had to endure and how they can be dismissed (that these symptoms are all in their head).
You know your body best.
I\\u2019m excited to welcome Sarah Phillipe.
