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
