✅yoga retreat in Ibiza

It’s been on my list for yonks and this weekend it happened and was much needed!

The weather was a bit pants but getting to finally go to Ibiza ( as I approach half a decade!) was one of those things I’d had written from the pandemic when we had no control over things being put on hold.

If you’ve got things on hold with everything else going on.. maybe it’s worth making one of the ones you can make happen…happen 🙏🙌

Thank you .flowyoga

We’ve been talking about secondary infertility and I in this week’s episode - hopefully helping you feel validated in how you’re feeling when the rage comes from comments others say…

At least you have one…
My two are always squabbling…
Think of the money you’ve saved…

It takes time to accept your reproductive story when you’d imagined your family would look a certain way and these comments can be hard to hear, so know you’re OK to feel angry and that we hear you

Feel free to vent or add any comments that have been unhelpful below! 👇

Have you lost friendships or had to accept that some of those close to you just don’t get it and to self protect you’ve had to put some distance between you?

It’s so hard and it’s unfair yet friendships ebb and flo through life anyway and sometimes you need people who will just hold the space for you to vent - rather than telling you it will all be OK.. they just meet you where you are.

This weeks conversation with is all about findings ways to validate how you are feeling when you might feel you don’t know where to show up after having a baby and trying to navigate secondary infertility.

It can be so hard to know where you fit in this online community, when there’s all these different factors affecting how you feel, so this is such a useful conversation that you need to hear as we don’t talk about these feelings enough and we should.

Don’t forget we’ve got an amazing offer from the lovely folk for the you lovely listeners. There’s details in the episode and you can check out the shownotes too 🎙️🙌

One thing I think we can all agree on is that infertility never leaves you.

Then when it comes to having to accept that you aren’t going to have family you imagined is something we don’t speak about often enough as we feel guilty

Guilty that we’ve been able to bring home a baby.. guilty that it worked out for us, guilty that our time trying wasn’t as long as others.

That’s where we go in today’s episode with patient advocate, writer, and blogger who had initially reached out to me for my thoughts on an article she was writing ( see shownotes ) and so we decided to have a good old chat about secondary infertility, the decision to stop treatment, and the complicated emotions that don’t simply disappear after a hard-won pregnancy.

If this is you - I hope our chat helps. There is such a depth of emotion linked to this topic, the guilt that comes with not being ‘happy with what you’ve got’ and it continues to catch you off guard as the years pass by.

Personally I’m finding in my peri-menopausal state that has led me to be on HRT more broodiness now and my son is 11! Thanks hormones!

If you’re listening to understand more about how to approach the conversation with colleagues or friends about the size of their family.. personally I don’t like to say I ‘only have one child’ I say I have one child.. as there is so much more I could say.

Have a listen wherever you get your podcasts and thank you to for sponsoring this series 🙌

If you’re trying to get your head around starting or continuing IVF and you have a choice of clinic, personally I feel you should feel be looked after from the moment you walk through the door.

Whether that’s a warm smile from someone on reception or the feeling that you’re somewhere where the overwhelm you’re feeling has been taken into consideration…and if you aren’t made to feel that the people around you have your back - then you can talk with your feet.

My latest episode is talking about what treatment is like when the patient is put first as I hear from Dr Cristina Hickman .life who gives such a forward thinking approach that I’m sure feathers will be ruffled.. but I don’t like hearing people say they paid £££ and felt like a number.. I think there should be sofas you could watch a movie on.. do you?

Have a listen and let me know 🎙️🙏

Great to hear developments in women’s health screening being discussed in the news today.. every day is a step forward!

So - I have a new series to share and for Ep 1 - let you mind be baffled with today’s conversation about AI within the lab… it’s here and it’s working its magic and I feel like you need to know what could be done and how it could enhance success rates when making your decisions about treatment.

Yes it’s baffling and it can feel overwhelming which is why I was keen to catch up with Dr Cristina Hickman .life for her to explain how they’ve adapted their treatment protocols and created an all round better patient led experience.
