How does spotting affect fertility?
Fertility Rewire Podcast
Hello and welcome to this episode of the Fertility Rewire podcast. Now, it's been a while. Again, I've taken a break. I've actually really, I've got quite a neck injury and I've been wearing a neck brace and have had the same sort of battle with my healthcare that I know you face a lot with your fertility, but you know, I've stuck with it. I've got to the route that I need to be taking now and things are improving massively. So I'm back doing everything that I was before. So you may have seen me on TikTok more recently talking quite a lot about spotting and signs of low progesterone. And...

Feeling lost when trying to get pregnant
Fertility Rewire Podcast
Feeling lost is something I hear a lot from my clients and people i speak to about their fertility struggles. The thing about being lost is that we are often looking for the way out, but before we can truly do that we have to know where we are. I discuss how we can do that, how we need trusted sources and once we know where we are we can get help to get to where we need to go, or help to know where we need to be going next. I also announce the launch of the You can get your hands on that , and fo a limited time I’m trialing a free support option too (DEC 2022)

What you needed to know before trying to get pregnant
Fertility Rewire Podcast
I ask you to imagine you could go back in time, what would you tell yourself at the point you decided to try to start or extend your family. What would have been useful and what do you wish you had been told. I also go into detail about what you should have been told and how my dream is that anyone who is thinking of starting or extending a family should be informed abut. In ancient times the elder women of the village would share key information, would have cultures in place including foods believed to support fertility. All of which has been lost to a medical model...

When you’ll do anything to get pregnant (but not that)
Fertility Rewire Podcast
I'm often reminded of the Meatloaf song. I'll do anything for love, but I won't do that. Will we do anything in blind faith and is that wise? What's actually needed is more thorough education of what we can do. And the first step is becoming your own fertility detective, in a controlled and structured way, often with support to interpret your findings. So what can you look into, well if you've heard me talk before, first off luteal phase and sperm, follicular phase, strength of ovulation and lets focus in on egg and sperm health and pelvic health.. I discuss ways to monitor...

Should you be happy with 1 child?
Fertility Rewire Podcast
Do you feel you should be happy? Or are you made to feel that by society or specifically the fertility space on special media? I have had a few clients whose Dr has actually suggested that they should be happy with one. But having another child has such a huge emotional difference doesn’t it? It's not about having a child, it's about having a sibling, and guilt can be an overriding emotion in this and lack of community and support. I’m excited to share that I am launching a group programme for people trying to extend their families and I’m running a Beat version,...

So why haven't recorded an episode for months?
Well I've been poorly, my kids have been poorly, I've had covid, I've had migraines, I have my clients and limited time.
Was I feeling deflated, do I lack motivation?
Well actually what I have been lacking, is discipline and I talk about this in this episode regarding your fertility journey?
How can you be motivated when you don’t see results?
Are you looking for the big result and not noticing the micro results that are adding up?
Do you understand, trust and believe in the actions you are taking, or is this lind faith because someone else has done this?
Are your stress/worry levels so high due toall the things you are trying with no results, of having no answers?
When you trust in the process or the person advising the process, you can get discipline your actions because you trust them?
Well this is how I support my clients, every day.
