Your IVF abroad Podcast
with Emma Haslam
Things to let go of in the New Year (or at any time). Trying to Conceive/Fertility edition
13th January 2026
Season 4 Episode 7
Show notes:
People are losing time on their fertility journey in ways that can sometimes be controlled (even though it may not feel like it) and by doing things because they are overwhelmed, stuck or because it feels 'safe', 'easier', but this actually isn't serving them.
​
In this episode, I break down the habits, beliefs, and 'sensible' choices that quietly waste your time, money, and energy and sometimes even your chances.
​
From waiting loops and indecision, to relying on Google/AI/'free' platforms or friends to match you to clinics, to thinking fertility treatment abroad is a second-class option - it’s time to learn more and let go of what isn’t helping you move forward in the right direction for you.
​
If you’re ready to stop tolerating what’s keeping you stuck and take control of your fertility journey where you can, then listen in.
​
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
​
-
Why waiting and indecision can quietly cost you months (or years)
-
Why 'easy' decisions - like choosing a local clinic aren’t always the best decisions
-
The risks of relying on Google, AI, free platforms, or friends to match you to clinics
-
Why accepting 'unexplained infertility' as a diagnosis or NHS options can hold you back
-
How thinking of going abroad as 'second-class' can cost you opportunities
-
Why winging it abroad is risky and how to do it right
​​
Key Takeaway:
Most people don’t lose time because they do nothing — they lose time because they keep doing things that feel sensible, or they are not able to do anything because they are so overwhelmed and unclear about what next step to take, and it can feel safer not doing anything - but this actually isn't serving them.
