For those on a fertility journey, getting pregnant can feel like it requires a village. So adding yet another member to the team might seem unnecessary. However, the benefits of a fertility coach are real for those dealing with infertility, secondary infertility, or miscarriage.  Ceire Nevins is a certified fertility coach — for those struggling to build their family, she provides actionable advice, helps clients advocate for themselves in a bewildering health care system, and keeps clients accountable to their self care and fertility journey. In this episode, Dr. Shahine and Ceire talk about a lot of the challenges of infertility, but they also talk on the importance of talking with others who have experienced infertility themselves. It can be particularly helpful if members of your fertility team have been there and understand what you’re going through.
