#58 Dr. Shirin Dason | Fertility 101 for Grown Ass Women
If you’re someone who’s ever wondered if you really understand your body, like, truly understand how your fertility works, safe to say you are not alone. I’m in my late 30s, and recently, I walked into a fertility clinic for the very first time. What I saw surprised me: a room full of women, many around my age, quietly waiting, maybe searching for answers, just like me. And it got me thinking: Are more of us waking up to the fact that we should’ve been taught this stuff earlier? And what do we actually need to know now, especially if we’re looking at pregnancy and fertility later in life?
Today, I’m speaking with someone who brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to the conversation, Dr. Shirin Dason. She’s a physician trained in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. She’s also someone who’s navigated her own journey with infertility and pregnancy loss. So this isn’t just medical, it’s personal. On this episode, we’re talking all about the changing landscape of fertility, common misconceptions, emotional resilience, egg freezing, surrogacy, and what every woman deserves to know about her reproductive health before it feels urgent.
We have Dr. Dason on the other side so, let’s hang out!
