Welcome to part 1 of my new fertility series! 👋🤰
Over the next few months, I will be releasing my fertility series on the podcast. This will be a space to have a conversation on a variety of topics to do with fertility.
First up, we have 'why am I not falling pregnant?' - a common one that gets typed into Google.
Next up, are you trying to fall pregnant but it's not happening? Have you only been given IVF or IUI as an option? A lot of my clients on their fertility journey have been told that there is nothing they can do and that IVF is the only option.
This is all said before knowing about ovulation and fertile window tracking. It's wild that most people don't know that you are only fertile for 5 - 6 days per month. This is quite a small window for conception to happen, and it is totally different from person to person!
There is no one size fits all approach to fertility.
Did you know 50% of fertility problems are due to sperm count, sperm motility or sperm morphology? Most of the time you will only be sent for a sperm analysis after 1 year of unsuccessfully trying to conceive but why not get it looked at right from the get go?
There are many reasons why sperm health is declining and we discuss why that is and why testing is important in this episode.
We also get told that fertility issues have a lot to do with genetics but rarely are genetics tested!
We discuss the main standout gene that affects fertility, the why it affects fertility and what we can do about it. MTHFR gene is a wormhole of information and I recommend getting help from an informed practitioner, they can interpret the results and suggest treatments for your fertility journey.
