Ok! I am calling it. It is time we all stop using the word infertility to describe fertility struggles.I work with and speak with so many women who have been trying to conceive with zero success. But these women are not necessarily “infertile”.In this podcast episode, I want to make something really clear. While 1 in 6 couples may struggle to conceive, 1 in 6 couples are NOT infertile.Don’t let the label of “infertile” stick unless you have definitive proof!So this is what I recommend instead: Instead of describing yourself as infertile or experiencing infertility, describe yourself as experiencing “sub-fertility”.Be realistic about your timelines. Instead of expecting to get pregnant first try, or panicking when it doesn’t happen straight away, understand that on average it takes a healthy couple 6-12 months to get pregnant. Instead of feeling lost, confused and defeated, take it as a sign that while your fertility may not be optimal right now, there are simple changes you CAN make to optimise ovulation and boost your chances of conceiving naturally.Instead of panicking at the prospect of IVF, get informed about your fertile window and ovulation and make sure you have the timing right first! Work through all your conservative options before considering assistance. These are the conversations nobody is having!   ________________ Full show notes, including a transcript of this episode with all links and resources can be found at:LINKDM Rachel on Instagram:@fertilitycoSupport the showWhenever you're ready, here's a few ways I can help you!
