Your Fertility Hub

It’s time to focus on you.

You’re hurting, you’re sad, you’re suffering- You’re not ok!

Your focus is purely on ‘baby’ but what about you?

We talk about how it’s hard to accept that you need to look after yourself during infertility, that wellbeing DURING infertility is so important. 

Not only can it help you reach your goal (check out all the research listed on our website!) but it helps make the journey better and that’s important too.

Tune in and get inspired to take action to improve how you journey through infertility and change your reality NOW even whilst TTC.

In this episode:

• Karenna gets real about why we can’t accept we need emotional support
• “You’re not fine”
• The hurt, the suffering, the pain - but you keep going
• How you can have big shifts in how you feel NOW even whilst trying to conceive

Every tale of miscarriage is unique. But what is sadly the same throughout most stories is the lack of miscarriage support.

Sam and the team at Pink Elephants are on a mission to change that!

Following her own experience of feeling alone, confused and traumatised by her miscarriages, Sam co-founded and runs the wonderful Pink Elephants support organisation which focuses purely on miscarriage support - peer support, research, online resources, events, lobbying and so many more things on her list. 

In this podcast episode, we chat to Sam about her miscarriage experiences, the emotions that follow and how she is determined to change the narrative around miscarriage to improve the experience for the 1 in 4 women who will go through this. 

Hear how she opens up about her very recent miscarriage and actually following this interview took a month off work - finally recognising she needed some time to heal and recover in order to be able to help others. 

Karenna shares about the new partnership between Your Fertility Hub and Pink Elephants which strives to provide more specific miscarriage support for those going through infertility and how some of the amazing Pink Elephants resources are now available in the Your Fertility Toolbox app. 

In this episode:

• How important miscarriage support is
• Sam’s personal journey through miscarriage
• Why the current system of miscarriage support is either non-existent or not working
• How we can change the narrative around miscarriage
• Why we shouldn’t wait 12 weeks to announce our pregnancies
• The big plans for Pink Elephants

In today's podcast, I'm getting pretty honest and I open about how I feel we're just not valuing emotional support enough on an individual level and within the fertility industry. In my view, emotional support should be a core component of anyone's fertility journey - everyone should have access to support and ways to make them feel better. 

So I'm calling it and starting 'a caring revolution' where we place value on the emotional side of going through infertility. Listen in to find out more! 💕

In this episode:

• Celebrating Episode 50 
• How I wept and shouted ‘Why the **** doesn’t everyone know this?’ before I started Your Fertility Hub
• We’ve come far, but no where near far enough
• Women aren’t valuing the role of their emotions and emotional wellbeing on an individual level
• As an industry and society, we’re not valuing the major impact emotional support can have on anyone going through infertility
• The caring revolution starts now!

In this interview with the amazing couple, Dr Gad and Samantha Lavy, from the New England Fertility Institute and JSRC, they chat with us about their unique approach and understanding of the importance of emotional support during fertility treatment. 

In this episode:

• A call to arms to talk with your clinic about the emotional support they offer and ask for more!

Dr Ali Domar is a world-renowned Harvard scientist and scholar who has devoted her career to helping couples live through infertility in a better way and ‘lots of pregnancies are the happy result’ she says.

In this episode, we find out what mind and body means, how it can help you get pregnant and hear many stories about couples who’ve conceived despite all the odds after going through her mind body programs for infertility. 

We chat to her about how she started out in this field and how over the years she has created a wealth of experience and scientific studies into the impact of mind body programs on infertility patients.

Dr Domar was fundamental in setting up the Domar Centre for Mind Body Health and is the director of Mind Body programs at Boston IVF. 

We delve into what ‘mind body programs for infertility’ comprise, what makes them successful and how you can apply some of these techniques in your own lives. 

We talk about the complex relationship between stress and infertility and why relaxation is a central component of the mind body programs for infertility patients. 

Dr Domar shares the complexities of natural pregnancy and IVF success rates but how over the years, her research has consistently demonstrated a doubling of these rates when mind body programs are employed. 

Together we champion how everyone going through infertility should have access to these programs and how clinics should be taking their part in offering these. 

Karenna also alludes to the new digital program she is launching soon - Your Fertility Toolbox - which is based on the excellent work and studies Dr Domar has undertaken over the last 30 years. 

In this episode:

• Dr Domar - how she started out working in infertility
• How the mind body program was born (from women uncontrollably crying when she told them they couldn’t participate in her study)
• What she has learned about the mind body connection and how this impacts pregnancy rates

This infertility story is so incredible, it’s almost unbelievable. Shen and her husband battled through 6 recurrent miscarriages, international surrogacy, change of laws mid-way through and then miraculously got pregnant naturally, TWICE! Hear it all here

We’ve had many incredible fertility stories featured on the Your Fertility Hub podcast, but I think Shen’s is one of the most courageous stories that demonstrates their willingness to NEVER GIVE UP!

Following the pain of 6 recurrent miscarriages, culminating in a week-long miscarriage where she gave birth to her fetus at home alone - they knew they had to look for another way. Following the miscarriages, international surrogacy with their own egg and sperm seemed the best way forward. 

At the time, Thailand was the best option for international surrogacy from Australia and Shen tells of all the ups and downs, crazy running around for medication, flights and timing it all. 

When in Thailand after the birth, disaster struck. Another couple decided to only take one of their twins back home, not only leaving their other baby but also a country in complete lockdown over surrogacy. Everything stopped. Shen and her husband were staying in a hotel will dozens of other parents with surrogate babies - all at different stages. As their son was a full genetic child of theirs, they were allowed home with their baby but they were one of the lucky ones. 

When thoughts turned to having a sibling, they steeled themselves for the long journey ahead. Unbeknownst to Shen, her husband had been researching options. He didn’t want to go back to the days of recurrent miscarriages, international surrogacy was again the answer and his research led them to Russia.

Just as they were collecting together winter clothes to cope with the minus 20-40 degree chill in Russia, Shen’s Mum planted a seed in her mind - what if she could conceive and carry a pregnancy naturally? As they’d never had trouble getting pregnant, Shen quickly conceived but never believed it would hold. 

Continually delaying their trip to Russia as the pregnancy progressed, they still never relaxed believed this was possible. Drama ensued at 31 weeks when Shen awoke covered in blood - they feared the worst. Somehow, she managed to hold on to her little boy until 38 weeks.

Even more miraculously, they then went on to have a little girl completely naturally too. 

In this interview, Shen opens up about this incredible story of recurrent miscarriages, international surrogacy and how amazing it was to carry and give birth to two children after their earlier ordeals. She shares how she coped and her advice for anyone else out there struggling right now. 

Finally, Karenna asks all listeners to join the FREE Fertility Toolbox so they are the first to hear about the upcoming launch of our new ‘Your Fertility Toolbox’ app and how it can support you to find a better way to live through infertility.

Tara’s journey began like many others - trying from month to month with no success. Finally a positive pregnancy test but then miscarriage shattered their hopes. 

Living in a rural town in North Dakota, they kept quiet about their silent heartbreak and progressed through more appointments and rounds of IUIs. Each failure adding to their sadness and the mileage on their car with doctors being over 2 hours drive away. 

Everything seemed to be going against them. As a nurse herself, Tara was only too well what the numbers meant. Sometimes being a medical practitioner going through infertility can be an advantage - you can interpret your results, you know the right people and you can anticipate the next steps. However, sometimes this increased knowledge can go against you emotionally.

In the end, they decided to take a break which coincided with a fabulous career opportunity for Tara - a fellowship in Washington (which would prove really helpful later on…!)

The break really helped and renewed they progressed and their Everlasting Hope paid off - they conceived a healthy baby boy. 

We chat about the drama of a placental rupture at 32 weeks, an emergency caesarean and how she felt during this pregnancy after the 3 years of infertility. 

Infertility never really left Tara and inspired by the need for more local fertility support and information she put forward a bill in Washington and formed the not-for-profit ‘Everlasting Hope’. 

Everlasting Hope was created to reach out to the general community in support of North Dakota infertility patients. Everlasting Hope strives to provide assistance to patients who must pay out-of-pocket for prescribed medical care and to raise awareness that that Infertility is a treatable medical condition and that the community as a whole benefit when these patients have access to medical care.

Finally, we chat together about how we wish that emotional support was woven into every couple’s fertility journey and how Your Fertility Hub is on a mission to make that happen.

Karenna asks all listeners to join the FREE Fertility Toolbox so they are the first to hear about the upcoming launch of our new emotional support programs aiming to address this need.

In this episode, international fertility coach Karenna Wood discusses 8 strategies you can use to help you cope better and feel stronger during your fertility journey.

Right now the world is trying to cope with the pressures of Coronavirus and life in isolation. The pandemic is really taking a toll on people’s mental health. 

Just as this crisis puts the spotlight on emotional wellbeing, this episode sheds light on the importance of looking after your mental health during infertility and especially during the pandemic, which has caused added extra stress and worry. 

In this episode, Karenna draws on her experience as an international fertility coach and expert in positive psychology and therapy for infertility, to bring you 8 different strategies you can use to cope better on your fertility journey. 

She discusses the goal of ‘healthy coping’ - not just managing or keeping a lid on it and how building up your resilience can have wide-ranging effects on your emotional wellbeing and can actually impact your fertility too. 

“When you’re stronger, you’re better able to think clearly and affect change in your environment so how we feel impacts our actions. Studies show that optimists actually function better than pessimists.”

Karenna discusses the important role optimism can play in coping better and how you can and should feel optimistic about your chances of conceiving despite setbacks and disappointments to date. 

Tune in to hear top ways you can build your resilience and keep fighting your infertility!
