This is our final episode for this Series, we will be back in September!

TRIGGER WARNING: in this episode we discuss miscarriage, IVF failure and pregnancy.

We're ending with a positive story, with Charlotte, a lovely patient I have had the pleasure of working with over the last few years.

Charlotte shares her journey of trying to conceive and experiencing multiple miscarriages. She shares her emotional toll and the frustration of waiting for appointments and test results and ultimately having to pay for rounds of IVF. I can happily report that Charlotte had her baby boy about a week after recording this episode and both are doing well 💛

Takeaways

• Trying to conceive can be a challenging and emotional journey, especially when experiencing multiple miscarriages.

• The process of waiting for appointments and test results can be frustrating and isolating.

• A diagnosis of low AMH and a low egg reserve can significantly impact the success rates of IVF.

• Support from friends, family, and online communities can be crucial in navigating the emotional and physical challenges of fertility struggles.

• It's important to find healthcare providers who are honest, supportive, and provide clear communication throughout the process. Early testing and education about fertility can provide valuable information and help make informed decisions.

• Finding a supportive community and setting boundaries with others can be crucial during the fertility journey.

• Self-care and taking time for oneself are important for emotional well-being.

• The IVF process can be emotionally and financially challenging, but success is possible.

• Miscarriage is common and can be heartbreaking, but it's important to remember that each person's journey is unique.
