how to find and fix what's stopping you from getting pregnant
You finally get some answers. Then you have more questions.
You finally get some answers.
And somehow, you have more questions.
A blood result comes back.
Something is slightly outside the range.
A scan mentions something you weren't expecting.
A test comes back normal, which should feel reassuring, except you're still left wondering why this keeps happen...

You don't get to just feel excited anymore
You don't get to just feel excited anymore.
A positive pregnancy test used to mean something quite simple.
You're pregnant.
But after youā€™ve experienced miscarriage more than once, it can mean twenty things at once.
You look at the second line and your heart skips a beat and your mind starts work...

You start going back over everything
You start going back over everything.
The coffee you drank that morning.
The workout you did before you knew.
The week at work when you barely stopped.
The glass of wine.
The flight.
The hot bath.
The supplement you forgot to take.
Something somebody mentioned in a fertility group at 11pm that yo...

The question I wish more women asked before IVF
One of the questions I hear most often is,
"What should I be taking before IVF?"
It's a good question.
But it isn't the first question I'd ask.
I'd start here instead.
"What does my body actually need?"
Those are very different conversations.
Because no two women arrive at IVF having walked the s...

The hardest part isn't waiting. It's deciding what to do next.
After every setback comes another decision.
Do we try again straight away?
Do we wait?
Do we investigate?
Do we save our money?
Do we spend it privately?
Do we move to IVF?
Do we keep hoping?
Most people think fertility is about patience.
I don't think it is.
I think it's about decision fatigue.

The supplement cupboard that made me stop and think
A client recently laughed as she opened her kitchen cupboard.
"I don't even want to tell you how much money is in here."
Inside were bottles of supplements she'd collected over the last two years.
Some she'd seen on Instagram.
Some had been recommended by friends.
Others she'd bought because she ...

The biggest mistake I see after "everything came back normal"
This week I was looking through a client's blood results.
Every box had a reassuring tick beside it.
Normal.
Normal.
Normal.
If you looked at those results on their own, you'd think there wasn't much else to discuss.
But she'd had three miscarriages.
That's the problem with the word normal.
It te...

What I learned at a wedding this week that applies to your IVF prep
I went to a wedding this week that was planned in four months.
Not four months of "let's get engaged and start thinking about it." Four months, full stop. No save the dates sent a year out. No twelve month venue waitlist. It was on a Sunday, because that was the date they could get everyone who m...

The 90 days that decide whether IVF works.
Everyone talks about IVF like it's a reset button.It isn't. It's a magnifier.IVF doesn't create a healthy embryo out of nothing. It takes what your body is currently capable of and scales it up. Good conditions get amplified. So do the ones nobody checked for.Egg quality is largely determined in ...

What the World Cup can teach us about pregnancy
Hi {{first_name}},
Tonight, millions of us will watch England walk onto the pitch for the World Cup semi-final.
For ninety minutes, we'll watch skill, determination and teamwork unfold.
What we won't see are the months - and years - that came before it.
The training.
The nutrition.
The recovery.

What if you've been asking the wrong question?
Ā
Hi {{ first_name }},
One of the hardest conversations I have with women is this one.
They've done everything they were told to do.
They've taken the supplements their friend recommended.
They've joined the Facebook groups.
They've waited for the fertility clinic appointment.
They've been told t...

I ran a webinar on Tuesday night. What did we learn
And whether you were in the room or not, I want to tell you the one thing I kept coming back to.
Up to 80% of cases have a fixable factor. The problem isn't the body ā€” it's that nobody's looked properly.
That is not a motivational statement. It is a clinical one. And it applies whether you are tr...
