What Else Can Get Me Pregnant?

The Fertility Podcast

We can’t believe it’s episode 3 already! Where has the time gone? We’re loving all your messages since we’ve been back – so keep them coming.

So, in this episode, we’re still chatting about preconceptual care. All you need to know is to help you conceive naturally. We start off by talking in more detail about the methods that can help you….

Have you heard of Mosie Baby? Mosie Baby is basically artificial insemination at home and can be useful when traditional methods may not be working or are simply not an option – for example for same-sex couples, women trying to conceive alone, and couples who are finding it difficult to perform on demand. Find out more about Mosie Baby below and listen to our previous conversation with founders Marc and Maureen here

Next up conception caps. Kate shares her view of FERTILILY – a hormone-free conception end that is clinically proven to increase the chance of pregnancy by 48%. It’s made of soft medical-grade silicone and is easy to insert after intercourse and is designed to push the sperm toward the cervix, increasing the chances of more sperm cells making their way into the uterus. You can read more about FERTILITY below.

On to this week’s guest - Laura Robson from The Body Literacy Collective and co-founder of the Read Your Body App. Kate and Laura met through training in Fertility Awareness with Fertilityuk and as a result of her training and previous personal experience of using fertility awareness to avoid pregnancy. The idea for creating the App was born out of a desire to offer her clients a reliable and effective app without hesitation and to have no concerns over data privacy or ineffective app features.

Over the last year and a half, Laura has been on a mammoth journey to get the app released through crowdfunding, app development, and testing to 100 beta users. The app has now been live for 8 months and is available in different languages with lots of new features. Laura recommends that women use the app alongside an educator to help them understand how to chart their fertility effectively, and if trying to conceive, help reduce the time it takes you. Read Your Body has many different features that set it apart from other apps, to name just two - It is totally customizable, and importantly users have total data privacy. Check out the app and how it could help you along your fertility journey below. Here are some details of other fertility educators Laura wanted us to share with you.

In Ask The Expert this week we’re talking about the contentious issue of IVF Add Ons and the HFEA traffic light system with Dr. James Nicopoullos. James tells us that there is no evidence to support the use of assisted hatching for IVF making it a red traffic light. The HFEA highlights endometrial scratch and embryo glue as amber meaning that there is limited evidence and is down to individual clinics as to whether they offer this.

And finally…..we have a little offer for you. Kate is offering one lucky listener the opportunity for a complimentary 20-minute cycle interpretation chat.
