Ep.04 Preparing for the emotional rollercoaster of IVF and how to navigate this in your coupleship
Do not underestimate the emotional rollercoaster of IVF treatment. Being pumped full of hormones is no joke and can really impair your ability to remain your 'normal' self. In this episode we share with you how we prepare and the post emotional agreements that we have in place to help us navigate IVF. It took us a few cycles to realise that we needed to have these conversations and to feel the benefit of them and how it helped us to get through treatments in a softer way.

Ep.03 The IVF Primester - It takes 10-12 weeks to produce new eggs and sperm and why sperm matters too
In this episode we are talking all about the PRIMESTER and why sperm matters too. Did you know it takes 10-12 weeks to produce new sperm and eggs? We knew this about eggs but until this summer we didn't know this about sperm. We have gone in to this heavily for our prep for our next cycle. In previous cycles we haven't looked at prep for sperm really, we have been so focussed on increasing egg quality. However after consultation with Dr Jonathan Ramsey and Anna at Melanie Brown Nutirtion, we now know better. So, we have put everything in to this prep and we have both take the primester (12 weeks before egg retrieval) seriously and made lots of lifestyle and nutrition changes. Let us know what you think of the episode and if you have anything you would like to feedback or ask, you can do that using the leave a message function in these show notes.
