Breakthroughs4

  • Don't feel bad about getting second, third, or even eleventh opinions - if a doctor doesn't feel right for you, keep searching

    Jo changed doctors 11 times before finding the right team. Her final specialist found a genetic incompatibility and treated it with immune protocols, while Dr. Murhy in New York discovered the uterine septum that was causing her losses.

  • Sometimes you have to stop putting your life on hold for your baby and start living the life you want - surrender doesn't mean giving up

    Jo and her husband decided to move to Queensland after years of saying 'once we get pregnant, we'll move.' Four months after making the decision to move regardless, she got pregnant during the transfer process while packing boxes in her two-week wait.

  • Sometimes the answer requires traveling across the world - be willing to go beyond local limitations

    Jo flew from Australia to New York for surgery with Dr. Murhy, who was so confident about finding a uterine septum he offered to pay for her flight if he was wrong. He found exactly what he predicted and restored blood flow to half her uterus.

  • Visualization becomes powerful when you have concrete evidence - seeing the surgery video changed everything

    After Dr. Murhy showed Jo the video of her septum removal and blood flow returning to her uterus, she could visualize embryo transfers differently, seeing 'this beautiful uterus that was working properly.' She conceived on her next transfer cycle.

Teachings5

  • Nobody wants your baby more than you do - trust your instincts over medical authority when something doesn't feel right

    Jo saw 11 different specialists before finding Dr. Murhy in New York who discovered a uterine septum that Australian doctors had missed despite multiple laparoscopies. Her persistence led to finding the root cause after years of 'unexplained' losses.

    44:31
  • Your heart will tell you whether to keep going or stop - but you have to block out all the noise to hear it

    Jo always had a knowing in her heart that their baby was out there, even through multiple losses. She distinguished between outside pressures (bank account, physical toll, others' opinions) and her inner knowing that kept her going through 8 IVF cycles.

    40:11
  • If it's not a hell yes, it's a no - applies to choosing doctors just as much as treatment decisions

    Jo used the 'hell yes or hell no' principle to change doctors multiple times, including switching within the same clinic when a highly recommended doctor didn't feel right. This led her to find the specialist who created the embryo that became her baby.

  • Australian women are gangster enough to get up at 3 AM for their dreams - commitment shows in your actions

    Jo got up at 3 AM consistently to participate in Rosanne's program calls due to time zone differences between Australia and the US, demonstrating the level of commitment needed for transformation.

    8:23
  • Resilience means finding another gear within yourself to keep going when everything looks impossible

    Jo went through 8 IVF cycles, 7 transfers, multiple natural pregnancies ending in loss, genetic incompatibility treatment, and surgery in another country before achieving her successful pregnancy at 20 weeks.

Reframes1

  • There's always a reason for unexplained infertility - it's just unexplored, not truly unexplained

    Jo was told she had 'unexplained' recurrent loss, but persistent investigation revealed both a genetic incompatibility with her husband and a uterine septum that was blocking blood flow to half her uterus.

Quotable Moments7

  • Nobody wants this more than you. And if you don't know how to think and if you don't know how to move past all the negativity and can think critically beyond statistics and having the guts to go, you know, to eleven specialists and say, hey. I'm not stopping.

    Rosanne Austin47:51
  • Don't feel bad for looking for a second opinion or feeling like, you know, you have to question what the doctor's telling you because no one knows you better than you and no one wants it more than you.

    Jo44:17
  • Because there's always a reason. There's always a reason. We just haven't found it yet.

    Jo13:22
  • I always just it's like this knowing in my heart that there was our baby. Our baby was out there. And I mean, they were showing us so much how much they were trying to get to us.

    Jo23:03
  • We can't keep putting our lives, all of our lives on hold for what you know, for our baby. Because I felt that it was just sending the wrong message as well that, you know, we were just stuck and miserable.

    Jo27:36
  • You cannot fuck with Aussie women. I have so much love for all of my ladies, but I have an extra special place in my heart for Aussies and Kiwis that have to get up at, like, dark o'clock to participate in my programs, but they are that gangster.

    Rosanne Austin2:12
  • Holy shit. That actually happened. Like and it was the moment, and we didn't necessarily plan it that way... but we didn't wait for the positive pregnancy test to move.
