If you’re trying to conceive (or planning to soon), your fertility isn’t just about ovulation tracking — it’s about your whole health. In this episode, I’m walking you through three essential health checks that often get overlooked, especially when you’re focused on timing sex and reading pee sticks.
 We’re talking breast checks, cervical screening, and yes… that awkward-but-important STI test.

These are non-negotiables for protecting your long-term reproductive health — and I’ll make it simple, shame-free, and totally doable.

What we cover:

  • Why these three checks are foundational for fertility and overall wellbeing
  • How often you need a breast check or mammogram (and how to actually do one)
  • The truth about the new cervical screening test — it’s not your old Pap smear
  • When to get an STI test, what it involves, and how to make it less awkward
  • What to do if you're scared, embarrassed, or don’t have a regular doctor
  • Why being proactive with your sexual health isn’t just responsible — it’s empowering

The podcast is taking a break in 2024 while I'm on maternity leave, but there are still heaps of ways you can learn about your fertility and cycle!
