What Is A Natural Embryo Transfer? / A New Word for 'Miscarried' / Why Do You Poop More On Your Period? ??
Hi friend!
Everyone’s fertility journey is unique. But if you’re going through IVF, there’s one thing you probably have in common with everyone else: how much you hate those meds.??
When?preparing for an embryo transfer, the medications get your uterus ready for pregnancy and ensure that an embryo has the best chance of implanting. But that still doesn't quite take the edge off of stabbing yourself with a huge needle every day, or the roller-coaster of emotions that those extra hormones can bring.
So, what if we told you that there’s a way to do IVF with a lot less medication? It’s called a natural embryo transfer, and for some folks, it’s a fertility game-changer. Learn more here.??

Q: What's the difference between a fertility coach and a fertility consultant?
A: It's confusing, we know. While both fertility coaches and fertility consultants offer support to individuals and couples on their family-building journeys, they serve different roles. Fertility coaches focus on emotional support, holistic well-being, and empowerment, while fertility consultants specialize in providing expert information, strategic guidance, and empowering clients to be their own healthcare advocates.
