#123 How Ravid Israel’s IVF Journey Inspired the Embie App
Ravid Israel
Founder of Embie, the first app exclusively designed for women going through fertility treatments.
Ever heard of the term there’s an app for that? Well, if you’ve gone through fertility treatments in the past few years and looked for an app to help you, you quickly realized that for this problem, there was no app.
That’s the realization Ravid, the founder of Embie, came to as she went through what began as fertility preservation, but turned to full on infertility treatments.
As a self proclated Type A personality, Ravid started tracking all things related to her fertility and treatments in excel, her phone’s calendar and traditional TTC apps. She quickly noticed some patterns as she started comparing her cycles and began advocating for changes to her Protocol. The result was better quality eggs and higher fertilization rates.
She knew right then and there that other women needed this information too and Embie was conceived.
Ravid’s fertility journey began in 2012 with a Cervical Cancer diagnosis, followed by severe endometriosis, multiple fibroids, and an MTHFR mutation. This prompted a move abroad for more affordable reproductive care which was followed by six full IVF cycles, 4 transfers and a lot of experimentation.
After five IVF cycle attempts with a partner, Ravid succeeded on her SMBC/first donor cycle, which resulted in the birth of her son in Nov 2020!
About Embie:
Embie, launched in Oct 2020, is the world’s only tracking app exclusively made for women going through IVF, IUI and Fertility Preservation Cycles. It enables women to stay organized and feel empowered through their journeys. The app provides one place where women can log their medications, keep track of symptoms and appointments, track results, get insight and support from the community.
Embie believes that women going through fertility treatments should be met with a specific supported experience that allows them to stay organised, track their results and build community. Our mission is to harness the data that helps women advocate for their treatment today, while helping millions of others realise their dream of having a family tomorrow.

#121 Why Your Intuition is Vital for Your Fertility Journey
Everyone is born with intuition. In fact, the intuition is simply another sense that may have not received as much attention or acknowledgment as our other senses – at least not in the scientific world.
We have all had moments where we ignored our intuition only to later regret it. Why do we have such a strong memory of the urge we felt and then later ignored? It’s as if we knew the difference between intuition and thought but simply doubted it.
Join me on this episode as I share the reasons why most of us ignore our intuitive calls and how to evoke and strengthen this amazing sense! When you’re on the fertility journey, it becomes the clarity you need to make important decisions!
