EP58 - Finding balance during infertility 

We’re excited to be able to share with you a live fertility coaching call with one of our spotlight members - Corinne. Normally these, like everything in our Toolbox app, are kept private to members only. However, kindly Corinne has allowed us to share her call to inspire and help others. Each month in the Your Fertility Toolbox app, we feature a member in a spotlight member call. We know how important hearing other people’s stories are so we showcase these in various ways. The spotlight member call is really special as you get to listen in to the recommendations and suggested tools given to each member and apply them to yourself! Fertility coaching is action-orientated which differs from fertility counselling. It means we get specific and are forward-facing rather than mostly looking backwards. It’s incredibly successful in helping women improve their mindset, hope and positivity during infertility. The 'Your Fertility Toolbox' app is a coaching-orientated wellness space for women going through infertility. Access hundreds of mind and body tools, regular events and dedicated support from fertility coaches, experts and mentors. This month, you can join as a VIP member for free using the discount code ‘MARCHMADNESS’ - giving you your first month free (normally $19 per month). Learn more and join us here.

EP55 - Just the inspiration you need - FREE motivational audio for infertility 

Infertility = a total lack of control! It can often be the first time you’ve felt in a complete tailspin but how do you cope. In this episode, we talk through some top tips for coping better with the feelings of lack of control. Karenna talks through alternative ways you can find solidity and security, dealing with overwhelm, the power of movement, mindfulness and gratitude and lastly why relinquishing some control can be good for the soul! Karenna shares a story of one VIP member in the Toolbox (our amazing emotional support and wellbeing app) where she went through an IVF cycle doing all the right things - she gave up foods, she took the right supplements, didn’t over-exercise etc and she still got a negative. Afterwards, she felt so out of control - like nothing she did could impact the result. After joining the Toolbox and learning some practical tools through our unique IVF Thrive materials - she experienced her next cycle very differently. She focused on life outside IVF, enjoyment and nurturing herself and relationships and guess what - this cycle was successful.  Learning to live differently is key. Listen in for tips on how you can live differently through infertility and how this can help you find your way out!  In this episode:  How to cope with lack of control during infertility The importance of validating what you feel Dealing with overwhelm Relinquishing some control Finding solace in others The power of mindfulness, gratitude and movement A story of hope when control was relinquished  You may also like:  EP23 - Managing emotions during IVF - https://yourfertilityhub.com/managing-emotions-ivf/ EP15 - Changing negative thoughts to boost your natural fertility -  https://yourfertilityhub.com/podcast-15-changing-negative-thoughts-to-improve-your-natural-fertility/ EP44 - Coping strategies for infertility -  https://yourfertilityhub.com/podcast-44-coping-strategies-infertility/   Links mentioned in the podcast:  EP26 - Coping with jealousy during infertility -  https://yourfertilityhub.com/podcast-26-jealousy-infertility/  EP8 - Gratitude -  https://yourfertilityhub.com/podcast-8-gratitude-can-dramatically-improve-feel-today/ EP24 - Mindfulness - your secret weapon during infertility -  https://yourfertilityhub.com/mindfulness-secret-weapon-fertility/  Your Fertility Toolbox - Free resources, tools and exclusive community for emotional support during infertility - https://yourfertilityhub.com/join-toolbox/   Connect with us on social media: Join us on social media for our regular inspiration and information and so much more!

EP28 - Your Fertility Mindset

Calm

Episode 5 (14:09 minutes) teaches you 3 quick relaxation techniques you can use at any time to help you de-stress and to assist you in changing those real peak anxiety times into moments of calm and feeling in control. These three different techniques are a great addition to anyone’s emotional toolbox, so you can whip them out right when you need them. So the next time you’re waiting in the doctor’s office or someone springs a pregnancy announcement on you - take a moment to implement one of these short, simple techniques to help you get through and not feel overwhelmed by it all.  7:11 Breathing - this simple breathing technique asks you to breathe in to the count of 7 and out to the count of 11. The long exhalation stimulates the relaxation response in your body and the act of counting is a great distraction, allowing you to focus just on your breathing whilst your body’s natural relaxation system gets to work. Make sure you are breathing in fully and deeply into your abdomen and take as many of these breaths as you need Quick Body Scan - this technique is a visualisation of moving through your body scanning for any areas of tension. If you identify any tension (commonly in the jaw, shoulders or abdomen), focus on relaxing that area and breathing into it. You can repeat this exercise as many times as you like until you can feel fully relaxed throughout your body. This is a great technique to use before bed, helping both your mind and body to be relaxed and peaceful before sleep Mindfulness - sometimes a tricky technique to master, but a great way to take your focus away from being ‘in your own head’ into what is going on around you in the present moment. Typically, this is best achieved whilst out and about e.g. walking as this gives you lots of opportunities to be aware of all the messages coming in to your senses. Practiced regularly, this technique can really start to set in place a carry-over relaxation effect and also more gratitude and awareness of what’s positive in your life right now.  Join the FREE Your Fertility Toolbox from yourfertilityhub.com to learn many more relaxation tools, access guest expert guides and resources and weekly articles plus our exclusive community of women supporting each other. For more in-depth knowledge and help in de-stressing and to learn how relaxation might be the missing link in your fertility journey, check out our unique online course ‘Your Fertility Stress’. In this episode  An overview of 3 quick self-help tools for relaxation 7:11 Breathing (02:37) Quick Body Scan (05:35) Mindfulness (08:33) How mindfulness in conversations can be transformational Introducing next week’s topic and a special offer just for podcast listeners  For more insight, subscribe to the show for regular episodes and please leave a review on i-tunes so we can share the message and help more women find their way through and out of infertility.

EP23 - Managing emotions during IVF

In this episode, Karenna talks about the power of mindfulness. It’s not just a buzz word or only for the few - it’s now a mainstream technique that is scientifically-proven to raise emotional wellbeing and improve natural fertility. Most of us spend most of our thinking time in two places - the past and the future. We rehash past events, allow regrets to simmer or project forward into the future - often visualising the worst-case scenarios or catastrophizing our futures. It can get very overwhelming being ‘in your thoughts’ all the time. They feel like they have control and you feel like you’re losing it! Some people worry that by being mindful they are changing their approach to their fertility journey. Being mindful does not mean you are becoming passive or change how much you want that baby. Instead, it can make you feel better every day and improve your chances of conceiving too. We discuss some of the benefits of mindfulness and how free people feel when they start a regular practice and aren’t immersed in their thoughts. Karenna mentions studies that have found a positive impact on emotional wellbeing across the board when women are taught mindfulness. Women were found to feel stronger, more able to cope, increasingly self-compassionate and able to regulate their emotions. Excitingly, the studies also show an increase in the pregnancy rate and IVF success rates (e.g. recent example of a study here) So this is more than just a wellbeing factor, this is actually a tool you can use to boost your natural fertility and increase your chances of conceiving. In the final part of the podcast, we talk about top tips for mindfulness and how to start with a quick example live on the podcast. In this episode:  What is mindfulness? Why do we need mindfulness? Where are we spending our time if it’s not in the present moment? Common concerns Benefits of mindfulness for infertility Top tips to get started on a regular mindfulness practice  You may also like:  EP15 - Changing negative thought patterns to improve fertility  Top relationship tip during infertility (Free download) How gratitude can transform how you feel on your fertility journey  Links mentioned in the podcast:  Active listening with your partner - Top relationship tip during infertility (Free download) Your Fertility Toolbox - Free resources, tools and exclusive community for emotional support during infertility  Connect with us on social media: Join us on social media for our monday motivational posts and friday funnies and so much more!

EP21 - Mindfulness: The secret weapon for infertility 

In this open episode, we talk about the thorny topic of feeling jealous during infertility. It’s incredibly common and can be really difficult to cope with at times. Learn 3 top strategies to help you reduce or mitigate jealous feelings and instead feel more empowered on your fertility journey. Firstly we talk about how normal it is to feel this way. When we open up about it, every person feels this way at some point and it’s important to normalise that. These feelings are valid and it’s ok to experience these emotions. In the podcast, international fertility coach, Karenna Wood, talks about how we can’t allow these thoughts to take up residence within us - that we need to feel them and let them go as they don’t serve our emotional wellbeing. It’s also important to know that these feelings don’t affect your identity- it doesn’t mean you have changed into a ‘nasty, jealous person’; it just means you are going through a really tough part of your life and jealousy is one way of coping with that. Listen in for 3 strategies to reduce any jealous feelings you might be having and in particular try out the ‘controversial’ third suggestion of having compassion for that other person. It’s a tricky one and we can’t always do it, but when we can start practicing thinking in this way - it can be really transformational. Finally, we talk about how jealousy is often an indication or reflection of grief, sadness and anger within you and give you some practical ways that you can start to process these emotions and be working on the root cause of the jealousy. In this episode:  Jealousy during infertility - it’s normal!

EP26 - Jealousy during infertility

There’s a lot of conflicting advice out there about if you can exercise during infertility and particularly during fertility treatments like IVF and IUI. In this interview, we chat with Tedi Palmer - an infertility blogger who loves running and endured a 7-year fertility journey, about her journey to motherhood and her opinions on exercise and infertility. Tedi talks us through her incredible fertility journey and how she went through multiple failed IUIs and IVF cycles, suffered from conflicting advice and multiple tests. She talks us through her low ovarian reserve and her husband Chase’s low sperm count and motility and how they were offered a place on a clinical trial where Chase was given Zinc and Folic Acid which transformed his sperm count from below normal to over 39 million (normal is over 15 million). Tedi opens up about her depression and how this was exacerbated by her rounds of depo-lupron and how she received lots of conflicting advice and an insensitive diagnosis from her doctors “Your egg quality is so bad. I don’t think you’ll ever become a biological mother” We talk about how she continued running through her fertility journey, even running marathons in and around her IUI treatments and how at times she was told to stop running and tried another exercise like walking, hiking and barre. She talks about how hard it is to give up exercise when it’s a huge part of your life and how some doctors strictly say no and others say it’s ok. She mentions that studies show mixed results so there isn’t a conclusive evidence base to back up the advice given by doctors. * Please note this podcast is expressing personal opinions and knowledge around exercise and infertility and is not expressed as medical advice. * Tedi talks about what helped her cope with her miscarriage, how she educated herself more on her cycles, changed clinics and eventually decided as a couple to take a break and switch gears. Tedi &amp; Chase switched their mental focus over to getting out of debt, she increased her weight slightly and then ran a half marathon and then did a huge hike. It was at this point that she got a positive home pregnancy test (HPT). She threw the test in the trash believing it to be a false positive but the next day got another positive. So the bleeding she experienced around the time of her big running events was actually implantation from a natural pregnancy. Finally, Tedi talks about her blogs and how she now supports women going through infertility on her blog and social media channels. “If I can run a marathon, I can have a baby!” And she did both!

EP4 - Second Opinion - Interview with Priya

In the last episode of 2017, we talk about one of the greatest challenges during infertility - negative thinking. It’s a huge topic and this episode uses one simple technique to help you challenge some of your negative thoughts - simply being your own best friend. So we start by being aware of what some of your common negative thoughts are e.g. ‘This is never going to happen for us - I’m never going to get pregnant’ or ‘I’m not worthy of a baby’ or ‘My partner must resent me because it’s my fault we can’t conceive’ and using a thought journal to write them down. Then challenge that thought by saying to yourself what your best friend would say to you. Imagine your best friend is stood in front of you listening to your innermost thoughts and then responding. Everytime you start thinking in that way, listen to your inner best friend and you will quickly start to see a difference in how you feel. We also talk about the mind-body link and how thoughts actually create emotional and physical reactions in our bodies and how it can actually improve your health as well as your emotional well being when you start to become aware of your negative thoughts and being kinder to yourself. 2018 is going to be a big year for Your Fertility Hub. There will be lots more great tips and tools in the podcast, more great free resources in Your Fertility Toolbox and we’re asking you to get in touch if there’s anything you would like to know more about, want us to blog or podcast about and any way in which we can support you more on the emotional side of your fertility journey. In this episode:  Common negative thoughts whilst trying to get pregnant Becoming aware of your most common negative thoughts Using a thought journal to keep a check on what you are thinking Being your own best friend and responding to yourself just how your best friend would Learning to catch yourself thinking in a negative way How we can’t always challenge our thinking - sometimes we need to use distraction or other methods How your thoughts create a chemical and physiological reaction in your body and how positive thinking can actually improve your health  You can’t choose a situation but you can choose how you RESPOND and how you THINK about it!

EP24 -  Quick guide to your fertility diet

In this great interview with natural fertility expert, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack we talk about how our menstrual cycles are a window into our overall health. Lisa calls our cycles the ‘5th vital sign’ and has recently released a new book talking all about this. Lisa is known for her expert knowledge of cycles and fertility tracking using the fertility awareness method. She shares her expertise and how charting can illuminate any issues that could be affecting your natural fertility. We discuss stress and the real and tangible effect it can have on your menstrual cycles and infertility.   We also have the ‘sperm conversation’ about the dramatic decline in sperm quality over the last few decades, just how serious the problem is and what you can do to improve sperm morphology and motility. Listen in to hear more great information on how our reproductive systems are affected by the environment, diet and lifestyle factors and how to use charting and spot symptoms in your cycles which can support you to understand this direct link and make the necessary changes. Finally, we talk about how a natural approach to tackling infertility is just as, if not more important than pursuing a medical approach like IVF. In this episode:  Meet Lisa Hendrickson-Jack from Fertility Friday Learn about the importance of understanding your menstrual cycles Hear how charting can help you spot any issues with your cycle The impact of stress on infertility Declining sperm rates and quality The impact of age on our cycles How to improve sperm and egg health How your menstrual cycle is a window into your general health  You may also like:  EP31 - Factors affecting your fertility -  https://yourfertilityhub.com/factors-affecting-fertility/ EP2 - Stress &amp; Fertility -  https://yourfertilityhub.com/podcast-episode-2-stress-fertility/ Natural Fertility and Preconception Care -  https://yourfertilityhub.com/natural-fertility-preconception-care/  Links mentioned in the podcast:  Lisa’s Website - Fertility Friday - http://fertilityfriday.com/ Lisa’s new book - The 5th Vital Sign - http://thefifthvitalsignbook.com/ Download the first chapter for free!

EP13 - How breathing can boost your natural fertility

Erin learned so much through her fertility journey and in this great interview she shares with you all she learned and wish she’d known. We talk through how she initially went into infertility very passively. It all felt so unexpected and she wasn’t accepting this was her path. Gradually as she moved from timed intercourse to IUIs to IVF she became more knowledgeable and empowered. Erin and her husband suffered many setbacks and sadly a miscarriage and chemical pregnancy along the way. Following a break after their second IVF cycle, Erin decided to build herself a support team - starting with a fertility acupuncturist and finally opening up to family and friends about what they were going through. This new approach led to the successful conception and birth of their son, who is now 5. Whilst enjoying parenting, they were plagued with that nagging feeling that they weren’t done, despite trying to tell themselves they were! Going back into the world of IVF more informed but without the right support team or ‘formula that worked’ for Erin resulted in another failed cycle. Finally, on the 5th cycle, did they get optimal numbers and despite a negative pregnancy test at the end, Erin knew with certainty she would get her baby with one of the frozen embryos. Happily, she did and her second son is now 2. Throughout the podcast, Erin touches on key lessons and these are now available to download in the FREE toolbox alongside many other great resources for the emotional side of infertility. Erin now helps other women going through infertility as a fertility coach based in Chicago, Illinois.

Finally, on the 5th cycle, did they get optimal numbers and despite a negative pregnancy test at the end, Erin knew with certainty she would get her baby with one of the frozen embryos. Happily, she did and her second son is now 2.

EP35 - Erin's lessons learned through infertility 

Caroline’s faith has led her through her own fertility journey and she now inspires thousands of others with her approach You are going to love meeting Caroline in this episode! Caroline is an infertility blogger who’s faith has supported her through her own 6-year battle with infertility and has led her to now inspire and support thousands of other women worldwide. Caroline’s fertility story started not long after her wedding when tests revealed she had a pituitary tumour and her husband azoospermia (no sperm). They were told it was impossible for them to have children naturally. She lent on God for guidance and he told her to write a blog. Several years later and this blog (In Due Time) has led her to now lead a huge wave of faith-based infertility support on her blog, social media channels and through ‘Moms in the Making’. This started as a support group in her home (which continues) but has now developed into 15 groups across North America, a new virtual group and an annual conference with people attending from all over the world. In this episode, we talk through Caroline’s personal fertility journey and also ask the tough questions about faith and fertility. She opens up about the hard days when she doesn’t always understand God’s path for her, but how her journey has actually deepened her faith and relationship with God. “I believe you can choose to run away from the Lord or run to him.” We talk about how even if you’re not religious, that infertility challenges you and becomes a spiritual journey. That the lack of answers drives you to question life’s fundamentals and your faith in life and love. She suggests that the fertility journey “can be good if we choose that” and offers her advice on how you can achieve this. She talks about not putting your life on hold, self-care and how important support and meeting other women TTC has been for her and how you can get involved. In this episode:  Faith and Fertility - how to keep the faith and how your faith can support you How starting her blog has transformed her life Caroline’s personal fertility journey How even if you’re not religious yourself, you can find faith to sustain you on your journey Caroline’s advice to others The incredible role a support group can play for you  You may also like:  EP17 – Finding direction on your fertility journey (Free meditation)  Top relationship tip during infertility (Free download) How gratitude can transform how you feel during your fertility journey   Links mentioned in the podcast:  Caroline’s Blog - ‘In Due Time’ Moms in the Making - A faith-based support group. Check out the locations of their support groups across North America, the dates for their virtual groups and also the upcoming conference in Dallas in October 2018.
