Your IVF abroad Podcast

with Emma Haslam

21st July 2026

Season 5 Episode 3

Show notes:

When you're struggling to conceive, everyone seems to have advice.

​

🔷 Friends.

🔷 Family.

🔷 Social media.

🔷 Google.

🔷 AI.

🔷 Fertility forums.

🔷 Even well-meaning healthcare professionals.

​

And whilst much of that advice comes from a good place, some of it gets repeated so often that it starts to sound like fact - when in reality, fertility is rarely one-size-fits-all.

​

In this episode, I'm sharing some of the most common pieces of fertility advice I hear and why I think they're worth questioning.

​

Not because they're always wrong... But because they aren't always right for your situation.

​

My hope is that this episode helps you feel more confident asking questions, thinking critically and making informed decisions about your fertility journey.

​

In this episode, I cover:

• Why "just relax" isn't the helpful advice many people think it is

• When "just keep trying" may actually delay getting the answers you need

• Why I believe "unexplained infertility" means unexplored infertility

• Why IVF isn't always the next step

• Why another round of IVF isn't always the answer after a failed cycle

• The problem with assuming weight is the reason someone isn't getting pregnant

• Why choosing a fertility clinic based on success rates is misleading

• The one piece of fertility advice I hope everybody takes away from this episode
