WTF are you meant to do when IVF doesn’t work? Today I am speaking with embryologist, Lucy Lines, who will walk you through everything you need to know about each stage of IVF, what to ask your doctor, and how to increase your chances of success.


Most people get to IVF thinking - this will FINALLY be the thing that gets me pregnant! After years of trying at home & going through other treatments that haven’t been successful, IVF feels like the light at the end of a very long tunnel.


But more often than not, it doesn’t work. And you’re left feeling completely lost about what to do next.


Lucy Lines is the owner of Two Lines Fertility. She is an independent embryologist, Fertility Educator & IVF Patient Advocate. Before you jump headfirst into another IVF cycle (or even before you begin your first), you need to hear this conversation.


BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT: 

●       Why IVF doesn’t always work – and what each cycle can tell you about your fertility and next steps.

●       How to ask the right questions with your doctor so you know exactly how to improve your chances 

●       What changes you can make to your lifestyle & diet to improve success rates

If you feel like you’re doing ALL THE THINGS on your fertility journey – you’re already eating the perfect diet, taking the right supplements, you’re doing everything your doctor has told you, but you’re still not where you want to be, then this is the episode you need to hear. Today I’m going to share the one thing that is so often overlooked as you’re trying to conceive.


We live in a world where we are led to believe that more = more. But when it comes to infertility, sometimes that just isn’t the case.


And in your quest to do everything perfectly, you overlook the single most important part of preparing for pregnancy. And it could be costing you dearly.


BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT: 

●       Exactly how we get into this state of overwhelm and doing ALL THE THINGS while trying to conceive

If you’re at the stage on your fertility journey where you’re falling down the Dr Google rabbit hole or getting your information from Facebook groups, this episode is for you. Today I’ll share the 5 things that everyone dealing with infertility needs to know about. No matter what stage you’re at, these are going to help you avoid confusion & know exactly what your next steps will be.


Do you ever open the Google app on your phone to ask a quick fertility question, yet somehow find yourself hours later analysing random stranger’s responses to “how do I know if my embryo implanted late?”


It’s easy to fool yourself into thinking that more information is power. But what you need are clear, actionable steps that will make you feel more in control as you navigate your fertility journey.


Today we’ll be chatting about the 5 things everyone struggling with infertility needs to know about. In this episode, I’ll explain what I wish I had known years before my own journey, so you can start getting clear on where you need to be.


BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT: 

●       The important things to note about fertility support that you won’t hear from your doctor

●       Why following a purely medical approach isn’t for everyone

●       What you don’t want to hear about IVF (but you should definitely be aware of this before you begin)

If you have been trying to conceive for 6 months or more then no doubt someone has said you need to “Just Relax!” (if i had a dollar...). In today’s episode I’m going to share exactly why relaxing isn’t going to help you fall pregnant, so you can start focusing on the things that will.


How many times have you been told you just need to “relax a bit more” as you’re struggling with infertility?


While things like booking a holiday, going for a massage & spending a day at the spa might make you feel better in the short term, they’re not going to reduce your stress & anxiety levels for very long.


Why? Because stress is a little more complicated than that. A few massages are no match for the stress that comes with months or years of infertility. In today’s episode, I’ll explain exactly what stress is and how it affects your body (and your fertility) so the next time someone says “just relax” you’ll know exactly how to respond to them.


BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL FIND OUT: 

●      The science behind stress & why saying “just relax” isn’t going to change how your body responds to stressful situations

●      The 5 reasons why this isn’t so simple

●      How you can actually focus on the things that will make a difference to the anxiety of trying to conceive

What's one of the last things we consider doing on our fertility journeys? After the endless medical appointments, the supplements, the acupuncture, the testing..

Doing...less.

• Her own personal journey of fertility challenges which she is currently navigating
• Period shame and how this impacts your fertility 
• What "Slowing down to get knocked up" is all about, and how you can get involved
