Katy is back and we're talking all things irregular cycles. There are many reasons you may be experiencing irregular cycles and these range from life style influences to hormonal imbalances to medical issues like thyroid problems or pelvic inflammatory disease. It's important to get irregularities investigated and make a proper assessment of what lifestyle factors could be having an impact. And if you're trying to conceive irregular cycles don't always mean you can't conceive but they do require a good understanding of tracking to make sure you're not missing ovulation.

Let us know in the poll if your cycles are irregular?

How can working on your mindset help when you're going through fertility problems?

This week I am joined by Alice Rose, who is a Fertility Mindset Mentor and Transformation coach, working to support people through her membership and courses. This isn't about thinking positive, this is about feeling safe to sit with how you're actually feeling, rather than feeling you have to stay positive all the time. Which we know doesn't work, isn't realistic and actually adds to the feelings of stress.

In this episode we talk about:

I am joined this week by Lauren, London Wellness Coach and we're discussing PCOS and specifically TTC with PCOS. Lauren was told at a young age that she had PCOS and that she would have fertility problems. We discuss the impact of this and how she sought to understand and learn about PCOS, retrain in nutrition and address her PCOS herself, which led to Lauren conceiving naturally.
