Yasemin

One healthy embryo can be more than enough when you have the right mindset and medical support

Yasemin conceived at 41 with just one healthy embryo after multiple failed IVF cycles, traveling between Canada and Turkey for treatment, and overcoming polyp surgery complications.

Trust your intuition when medical advice doesn't feel right, even from highly regarded specialists

Yasemin rejected a Turkish doctor's recommendation to change the shape of her uterus, trusting her gut that it felt wrong. She sought a second opinion and found a gentler approach that preserved her uterine environment and led to successful implantation.

Shame around your fertility journey blocks the love and support that's actually available

Yasemin initially felt ashamed trying to conceive at 40, but when she started sharing openly, people began praying for her and sharing positive stories of friends who conceived naturally at 48.

Depression and baby fever can actually be a turning point that leads to your breakthrough

After COVID, Yasemin fell into depression with obsessive thoughts about having a child, which became her turning point to seek new medical opinions and ultimately find success.

Medical opinions can vary dramatically - you have the power to seek providers who believe in you

Yasemin was told by one clinic to use donor eggs after two cycles, while another doctor said 'I don't see why not' when reviewing the same case. She ultimately found success with providers who believed in her potential.

The fertility journey doesn't have to be miserable - you can do the treatments with joy and surrender

Yasemin noticed IVF clinics were filled with misery where 'nobody says hi to each other' despite trying to create life. She learned to do the same treatments but with joyfulness and detachment from outcome.

You don't have to be 100% sure to keep manifesting - just keep doing the practices

Yasemin admits that even while picturing herself on this podcast, part of her didn't believe it would happen, but she kept doing meditations and visualization practices anyway until it manifested.

Manifestation requires both spiritual practice and taking concrete action - it's not passive

Yasemin combined visualization and meditation with continuing IVF treatments, traveling between countries for care, and advocating for herself medically - the spiritual work supported her taking action, not replacing it.

Success stories at advanced ages happen daily but go unshared - there's more love than fear available

When Yasemin opened up about her journey, people shared stories of friends conceiving naturally at 48. On a planet of 8 billion people, a percentage of daily births are to women over 40, but these stories don't get headlines.
