Finding Fertility

How To Work With Your Fertility Doctor with Robyn Birkin

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! Welcome back to another episode of the Infertile Diagnosis. How To Work With Your Fertility Doctor with Robyn Birkin

Your Fertility Doctor doesn't know everything. That's right. Read that again. Your Fertility Doctor doesn't know everything. While I'm a 100% sure your fertility doctor is trying their best to help you achieve your dream family, sometimes things get missed. 

Robyn joins me on today's episode of The Infertile Diagnosis to share how she became her own hero and worked with her fertility doctors and made her dreams of becoming a mother a reality. 

So here we go - get ready to become your own HERO!

Robyn Birkin is here to help women survive the rocky road of trying to conceive. For some people, having a baby is easy, but for others, like her, it's a long and tough rollercoaster. Her journey starts off just like most of us. She thought having a baby would take no time at all. A year later, she found herself at the fertility clinic, and several ovulation inductions, IUI's, IVF cycles, OHSS and a miscarriage later, finally conceived. 

Now, She is passionate about helping you not only survive the process, but thrive! Her superpower? Helping type A women find calm, confidence and happiness in their TTC journey and feel like warriors. She is a little woo woo. A lot straight shooter. She have never turned down a bowl of mashed potato and if you love Salt n Pepa, well… you’re soul sisters.

She is the host of the Fertility Warriors podcast where she interviews other fertility warriors, and shares advice and tips on how to conceive, how to navigate the world of fertility treatments and how to be your best and healthiest self. Robyn is also the author of Screw Infertility, the core educator for The Fertility Warrior Intensive course, and the My Missing Piece Membership. You can find her at robynbirkin.com or on Instagram @robynbirkin

What if You Had Free Fertility Treatment & Health Coaching? | The Fertility Connection Talk Show

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! Welcome back to another episode of the Infertile Diagnosis. We're back with another Talk Show - The Fertility Connection discussing - What if You Had Free Fertility Treatment & Health Coaching?

What if you were given 20,000 pounds, euros or dollars to do whatever you pleased with during your fertility journey? 

What type of decisions would you make? 

Would you do fertility treatment or looked into health coaching?

Or maybe both? I know my infertility journey would have been dramatically different if money wasn't an issue. But I can honestly say I'm not sure it would have been for the better. Because we didn't have the money, we had to take our time when it came to doing fertility treatments. This time gave me time to sort my sh*t out. 

If I had £20,000, I would have rushed into doing fertility treatment again & again. For me, if I didn't sort my health issues out, I would have never gotten pregnant - not even with the support of IVF! The £20,000 would not have been used wisely.

With the hindsight I have now, I know I would have only needed a fraction of the £20,000 to reconnect my fertility. Health coaching would have saved my time, MONEY & heartache. With my hindsight, I should have hired a health coach & a personal chef & I most likely would have been pregnant within in 6 - 12 months. I wouldn't have had to dick around with years of failed fertility treatments!

But that's just me.

Part 2 | Why Aren’t We Doing Diet & Lifestyle Changes For Infertility?

Part 2 | Why Aren’t We Doing Diet & Lifestyle Changes For Infertility?

The information is out there: Diet and lifestyle changes can help to improve you’re fertility health, no matter what type of infertility issue you’re dealing with. So why are we all still running off to the IVF clinics first & not taking a step back or slowing down?

There are some big issues at hand to why we might be doing this. In part two Sarah and I discuss why we too went straight to the IVF clinics and then decided to improve our fertility health after. 

So here we go - get ready to become your own HERO!

Part 1 | The Ups & Downs When Working With a Fertility Health Coaching

Part 1 | The Ups & Downs When Working With a Fertility Health Coaching

Hiring a Fertility Health Coach might not be as straight forward as you think. I know that I had a few ups and downs during my journey with fertility coaches and so-called experts. I do believe that 98% of fertility coaches and experts truly have you’re best interest at heart, but what happens when they can’t do any more for you?

What if you’re working with someone and it just doesn’t feel right? Sarah and I talk about our ups and downs of working with different fertility health coaches and what we try to bring into our coaching from our lessons learnt.

So here we go - get ready to become your own HERO!

Are My Insecurities F*cking With My Fertility?

Hello Beautiful People! Dealing with the emotional and mental stress of infertility is hard on its own. But have you ever stopped to wonder why this journey of infertility is so emotionally and mentally hard?

 

Why do you actually feel like you’re not good enough to be a mother? Why do you keep doing things that you know are having a negative effect on your fertility?

 

Like drinking or eating inflammatory foods - WTF! RIGHT?

 

Looking back at your past and looking at the insecurities that you have carried for a long time can be hard during your infertility journey. But it can be mentally and emotionally liberating!

 

Not feeling worthy enough about becoming a mom, even though you desperately want it, can be having a real impact on your fertility health - mentally and physically. These feelings of inadequacy can lead you to do the things you know you shouldn’t - put down the f*cking cookie! ;)

 

On this episode of the Sarah & I talk about our own personal insecurities that were having a negative impact on our mental and physical health, especially our fertility health. 

So here we go - get ready to become your own HERO!

Dealing with the ​Emotional BS of Infertility

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! Firstly, sorry about the sound. Looks like Sarah's mic wasn't working correctly. Secondly, Welcome back to another episode of the Infertile Diagnosis. Today we're talking about dealing with the emotional BS that comes with infertility - to name a few:

Faking it. Fine, but Not.
Jealousy.
Isolation.
Anger.
Fear.
Guilt.
Just Fucking Over it.

There are so many different stages of emotions when you're going through infertility. Some consume you more than others. Mental health is key to keep your head above water when dealing with infertility.

Finding the right support system and tools won't magically get you pregnant. What it will help you to enjoy the life you're living, handle the hard times with a little more grace and give you the strength and confidence to stick with the hard diet and lifestyle changes you need to make.

IVF Success and Failure

HELLO, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! Welcome back to another episode of The Infertile Diagnosis | IVF Success and Failure

You're going to do IVF. It's simply going to work & you'll have a beautiful baby in nine months. But we all know it doesn't always work out like that! Sarah and I get raw and real about the ups and downs of IVF and how we handled our success and failures.

Even though we have completely different IVF journeys, we both remember the long early morning drives to the clinic, the drugs, the excitement, the worry, the waiting, the joy & the sadness. IVF can be an emotional rollercoaster & financially draining, but if you take control over your health before you do a round if IVF you can improve your chances and give you and your baby a happier and healthier first nine months together.

Are You Hung-up On Your Infertile Diagnosis?

HELLO, BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! Welcome back to another episode of The Infertile Diagnosis | 004 | Are You Hung-up On Your Infertile Diagnosis

I always wonder if you didn't have your diagnosis of infertility would you think differently about what you could do and couldn't do. Would you feel like you wouldn't have the limits that your diagnosis have put on you?

I put this question to Sarah. Her infertility diagnosis of POF sent her down a quick narrow path. As my unexplained infertility allowed me to go down every single path available - still not sure if this was a good or bad thing!

But one thing for sure is that your infertility diagnosis does make you have to start looking at your life a little differently & you may even have to start reevaluating what motherhood looks like.

Just Trying to TTC - Life Before The Infertility Diagnosis

HELLO, BEAUTIFUL!  Just Trying to TTC - Life Before The Infertility Diagnosis

Do you remember life before you started to TTC? Carefree - RIGHT!?!
Do you remember when you first started to TTC? Exciting and fun (wink, wink)

And then you get HIT with it - The Infertile Diagnosis.

It changes everything & if you are anything like us, you started to hyper-focus on the diagnosis leaving little room for anything else.

On this episode, we talk about what life was like before the LABLE and how our infertility diagnoses made us blind & to what our bodies were trying to tell us. We hope this episode​ helps you to see that other health issues can be linked to why you're having fertility issues.

This is What Infertility Looks Like

This is What Infertility Looks Like.

This is the INFERTILE US - Monica and Sarah. We are totally normal woman who got sick of being sick & infertile. This first episode we give you a short summary of our infertility stories.

Sarah and I both have long f*cked up infertility stories. They are very different, but yet the same. During and long after our infertility journeys, we both landed here - Hindsight is a b*tch.

We wouldn't go back and change anything & feel very lucky to both have two beautiful children. But we do want to offer our experiences and our knowledge, in hopes others will learn from our one BIG mistake of getting hung up on the infertile diagnosis. We didn't listen to our bodies when they were screaming at us & that caused us a heartache, time & money.
