Expectations not matching the reality of outcomes?
Let’s face it, if you live in a human body, you will experience this in the context of your health at some point in time.
During the fertility treatment process and IVF, this is a theme that we often face over and over and over again.
In this episode, I talk about what to do and what not to do when this happens.
By the end of this episode, you will have a few ideas to help you find some relief when you’re inevitably faced with that theme of “Oh yeah… Sometimes human bodies do weird things and don’t respond in the way we want them to”.

Are you new to fertility treatments and IVF? Or maybe this isn’t your first rodeo but you’re curious about the title of this podcast? This is the episode for you!
In my 12+ years of clinical experience, helping thousands of people during their IVF experience, I have found that I have the same conversations over and over again with my patients and clients.
I almost wish that there was a manual for how to do IVF - but we all know that wouldn't work because everyone is different!
This episode outlines the top 5 things I think every human should know before they embark on their fertility treatment process (particularly IVF)

Today on The Infertility Stress Podcast, we are talking about the ONE thing that is missing from most people’s IVF or fertility treatment experience. We live in a time when we have access to incredible fertility doctors and medical technology. We have the ability to work with amazing allied health professionals. And there has been no other time in history where we have had unlimited and infinite access to so much information for how we can take our health outcomes into our own hands with lifestyle practices.
But there is still something missing for many folks going through IVF and fertility treatments. The community aspect.
Fertility treatments can be a lonely and isolating experience for many people. In today’s episode, Michelle is going to share some ideas on how to fill that gap.

Today Michelle is speaking With Lucy Lines of Two Lines Fertility. They talk about:
Lucy’s Bio
As a fully trained and clinically experienced embryologist Lucy has had the good fortune to travel the world practising her craft in IVF labs in Australia, Sweden, Ireland and the UK.
Over her first 17 years in the fertility ‘industry’ she became increasingly frustrated over the ‘business’ aspect that was creeping into the large IVF companies and the huge gaps that was creating for patients accessing those services.
After a redundancy at 37 weeks pregnant, (and at 44 years of age) she saw an opportunity to fill those gaps - with education, care, support, guidance and space for women and couples experiencing difficulties with their fertility - totally independent of the big businesses!
She now offers her services through Two Lines Fertility - with her signature program; IVF WTF, her website and blog, e-courses and, of course, 1:1 support, she now helps women and couples feel empowered, and more importantly EDUCATED and in control of their fertility, whether they are right at the beginning of considering growing their families, in the depths of IVF treatment, or anywhere in between

Have you ever had that moment where you thought to yourself “if I could just figure out the right foods and the right exercise and the right way to meditate and the correct supplements and avoid all of the wrong things, I would get pregnant”?
Have you ever commented on a person’s BFP celebration post in the Fertility Support Facebook Group and asked “what did you do during your cycle”? with the hopes that if YOU do those things, you’ll get pregnant too?
This is classic perfect potion seeking and it happens to so many people during their fertility treatment process.
This is rooted in healthism, which is the idea that a person is wholly responsible for their health outcomes - and therefore morally inferior if they experience health challenges.
