Starting the journey to conceive can be exciting, hopeful… and overwhelming. More often than not, it comes with more questions than answers. It’s easy to let doubts, fears, or “what-ifs” take over your mind: “Am I doing this right?”, “Why isn’t it happening yet?”, or “Is there something wrong with me?”

The truth is, your thoughts aren’t always facts. Stress, expectations, and the uncertainty of this journey influence them. Feeling anxious or doubtful doesn’t mean something is wrong. And having questions is normal. Answers will come in time, with guidance and support.

💙 Diabetes Awareness Month 2025: Let’s Talk About Diabetes & Reproductive Health 💙

A reminder that diabetes doesn’t just affect blood sugar — it can have a powerful impact on fertility and reproductive wellbeing for both men and women.

🔹 For women:
Uncontrolled diabetes can disrupt menstrual cycles, affect ovulation, increase the risk of miscarriage, and complicate pregnancy. Conditions like PCOS are also linked with insulin resistance, making proactive diabetes management even more important for those trying to conceive.

🔹 For men:
Diabetes can reduce s***m quality, affect hormone levels, and even contribute to erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction — all of which play a role in fertility.

🔹 The good news:
With early screening, good glucose control, and healthy lifestyle habits, many diabetes-related fertility challenges are completely manageable. Fertility is a whole-body journey, and taking care of metabolic health is a key part of it. 💙🩺
