Infertility Sisters

The one where two girls who can’t get pregnant, tell you how to get pregnant 😂

So you want to conceive a baby… now what?! We wanted to put this episode together to talk through the basics of trying to conceive. 

In this episode we cover:

• What preparation to do before trying to conceive 
• Menstrual cycle 101

Skip to 15 mins if you don’t want to hear our weekly update, which covers:

• Jasmyn - expectations of phone consult with FA, Corey's health focus including accupuncture and weird dreams post ovulation.

In this episode we chat all about the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM). Do you know when you are fertile in your cycle? Why the heck do these girls keep going on about cervical mucus and tracking their temperature?!
