Podcasts about secondary infertility

On this episode, Ali talks to Julia Midwinter, a Fertility and Pregnancy Mindset Coach who supports women struggling to conceive or who are pregnant after IVF or miscarriage. Julia shares her own infertility journey, including her diagnosis of endometriosis, her five year journey to conceive her son through IVF, and her two miscarriages. She talks about ovarian cysts, fertility acupuncture, and how she felt navigating all of the above. She also talks about what she learned from her own infertility coach, and why she decided to become one. "So many of us have experienced the elation of having a positive pregnancy test, and then the devastation of it being taken away," Julia says. "However lonely you feel, there are so many other people experiencing the same." For more info, go to www.pineapplecoaching.co.ukFollow on IG: @pineapplefertilitycoaching TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Endometriosis; IVF; miscarriage; pregnancy after loss; mental health; secondary infertility; fertility coaching; acupuncture; ovarian cystsEPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

Madeline Fry Schultz, the Contributors Editor at the Washington Examiner talks about the myth of “family planning” and the realities of secondary infertility.

Welcome to What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss. In this raw and deeply moving episode, I'm joined by teacher, children's writer, and IVF warrior Jodie Fitzsimmons, who shares her unexpected five-year journey through secondary infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, IVF, and the eventual arrival of her rainbow baby at age 41. After a smooth first pregnancy, Jodie never anticipated the emotional terrain that followed when trying for a second child. Through years of failed cycles, grief, physical exhaustion, and emotional breakdowns—paired with the pressure of being an “older mum”—she found solace in writing and connection. Her words have now become a lighthouse for others navigating similar terrain. This episode is a heartfelt invitation into the unspoken spaces of motherhood, womanhood, and identity after loss. We also reflect on the importance of recognising the silent suffering of partners, the underestimated emotional toll of IVF, and the healing that comes through storytelling and community. In This Episode, We Explore: What secondary infertility can look and feel like The emotional toll of IVF and recurrent pregnancy loss Navigating pregnancy after loss with fear and resilience The impact of infertility on relationships and mental health Why writing and storytelling can be a powerful healing tool The unspoken grief of male partners in fertility journeys Finding community, validation, and voice through vulnerability

Send us a textGetting pregnant isn't always simple. And for 1 in 6 women, infertility is part of the story — and it's messy, isolating, expensive, and absolutely life-changing.In this first episode of our April Infertility Series, I sat down with three BADASS women — Gwenna, Cassi, and Megan — who know this journey all too well. Gwenna spent 12 years trying it all — 8 rounds of IVF and endless shots to no avail. But in the end, two incredible surrogates helped bring her two boys into the world. Cassi never expected to struggle after having her first son naturally. But four and a half years of trying, and many miscarriages later, she found herself in a world of acupuncture, functional medicine, and asking questions nobody could seem to answer.And Megan — mama to 7-year-old Miracle Maren — opens up about miscarrying alone at home, failed IVF, and the ache of wanting a sibling for her daughter.This episode is raw. It's emotional. It's full of heart, and hard-earned wisdom from women who've lived it.Infertility isn't the whole story — but it sure as hell shapes you. Make sure to share this episode with someone who could benefit from hearing these stories. This community is here to support you no matter if you are in the thick of it or experienced infertility years ago. Stay tuned for the next episode dropping Wednesday, April 16th at 8am with Jess, Jessie and Allie.

In this episode, we meet Josie, a qualified teacher living in the Albury-Wodonga region who shares her journey to motherhood and her two unique birth experiences. Her story highlights the complexities of navigating healthcare across state borders and the resilience required through pregnancy loss, renovation chaos, and building a family.__________ It's no surprise that restful sleep is hard to come by pregnancy. Pillows are a great way to get comfortable at night and if you find one that prevents back sleeping, it can takeaway the stress of waking up on your back. That's why I recommend the Sleepybelly pregnancy pillow. Sleepybelly is the original three-piece adjustable maternity pillow designed to provide peace of mind by encouraging safe side sleeping or while giving your belly some much needed relief.

What emotional toll does secondary infertility take on a mother already caring for a young child? The transcript reveals the immense challenges Leah faces, from the physical complications of a previous C-section to the devastating cycle of miscarriages.  Juggling the demands of motherhood while grieving the loss of unborn children has clearly taken a significant mental and emotional toll. Leah's experiences of PTSD symptoms, insomnia, and feelings of devastation highlight the profound impact of this journey.  There is a societal stigma surrounding miscarriage, which can further compound the isolation and difficulty of the situation. Despite these obstacles, Leah has found solace in coping mechanisms like writing and gardening, as well as the support of her husband and friends. Her resilience in the face of such adversity is truly admirable. The Warriorship is a membership to help you navigate life after baby loss.

"I've hit the point of burnout multiple times in my life. Most recently it was after I started my coaching business. So I was working full time as a primary care outaptient physician and I was coaching my clients on my admin half day and weekends. I realized that what was burning me out was medicine post-pandemic. I just couldn't do it anymore and it took me a while to recognize why I was feeling the way I was feeling. So I took some time to self-reflect. Actually a year ago in August I took 4 weeks off of unpaid leave becasue I was just fed up. I needed some space and some time to figure out how I am going to move forward in everything that I love. I love clinical medicine. I love building that relationship with my patients, but then there's all of the other BS. Here in the United States the system is broken - period. We can make small changes here and there but in the end I decided that being a full time physician and full time coach wasn't possible."This episode is with Dr. Flora Sinha, who is a primary care physician, a physician coach, and a podcast host.In this episode we talk about:- Her experience with secondary infertility- How/when she decided to stop fertility treatments- Happiness with her current family size- How to respond to invasive/inappropriate questions about your personal life, particularly your family size- Her experience with burnout- Taking 4 weeks of unpaid leave to figure out how she wanted to move forward- Starting her coaching business- Her podcast - The Beyond Podcast- Her decision to share her life publicly on social media and why Connect with Moms of Medicine:- Instagram @moms_of_medicine- Momsofmedicine@gmail.comConnect with Dr. Flora Sinha:- Instagram @drflorasinha- Instagram @the.beyondpodcast- the beyond podcast on apple, spotify, and youtube

Today, Ali is talking to fierce infertility warrior and mama Maggie Phipps, co-founder of Larken (which means "fierce" in Gaelic), a comfy essentials brand for anyone navigating fertility treatments, postpartum, motherhood, and beyond. Maggie shares how her mom had three miscarriages; how she herself had an early miscarriage; and how conceived her first two kids naturally, but then had trouble with baby number three. She also talks about her traumatic ectopic pregnancy and how she felt brushed off by several doctors when she told them she was in pain. Maggie also shares how she navigated the devastation of losing her baby in that ectopic, going through emergency surgery; how she was just a few hours away from "bleeding out," and what happened in her family building journey after that. For more, go to www.shoplarken.com and follow on IG: @larken_shop.

(Trigger warning: secondary infertility, miscarriage)1:8 couples will experience secondary infertility. Allie Karagozian, Occupational Therapist, momma, and founder of @holdingboth, always knew she wanted to be a mom. After using fertility treatments to conceive her first child, she was overjoyed to become a mother. When she and her husband were ready for a second child, they were met with secondary infertility troubles. From that hardship, @holdingboth was created with the mentality that it is okay to be thankful to have a child, but still grieve not being able to have another. Allie wants to bring more awareness to secondary infertility and through her business she provides support and a safe landing place for those families walking through it. Allie wants you to know that it's important to take care of your mental health during the journey of secondary infertility. She highly recommends that you and your partner seek therapy through any outlet you feel comfortable with, whether that's through your insurance, BetterHelp, or support groups like the ones Allie hosts. And if you're a friend of someone going through infertility, it can be hard to know what to say and ask. Allie gives us a great insight as to what thoughtful questions to ask to show you care without causing overwhelm.And if you are going through a pregnancy loss, we want you to know it's okay to ask for help. Ask a friend or family to take your other children for the day so you can rest. And please give yourself some grace during this time. We understand this is a sensitive topic, and if listening to this episode is too much right now, we understand, and encourage you to tune back when the timing is right. Links & Resources:Enroll in the HERself Self-Care CourseFollow Allie on InstagramAllie's WebsiteListen to Allie's Podcast: The Secondary Infertility PodcastThe Miscarriage Doula on Instagram Resolve Support Group for Men10% off at BETTERHELPFree sample pack with purchase of LMNTLet's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreen

Jordy has always had long, painful and heavy periods so when she fell pregnant without trying, no one was more shocked than her. Excess amniotic fluid prevented her from monitoring her baby's movements so she presented to the hospital multiple times and opted for a planned caesarean at 38 weeks. Her birth experience was incredibly positive and after breastfeeding for the first time in recovery, she went on to feed baby Evie for three years. Since being diagnosed with adenomyosis, endometriosis and cysts on her ovaries, Jordy is navigating secondary infertility alongside medication and persistent pain. She speaks candidly about the daily challenges of her pain as well as the heartache of failed pregnancies.

What happens when becoming pregnant goes from being quick and easy to long, emotional and difficult?   This week, we're speaking with Shyla Brown, a mother of 4 babes- 3 of whom were born at home. We'll walk through Shyla's experiences of pregnancy, which range from fast and unexpected to long-awaited while she struggled with secondary infertility. Shyla will share what she learned from that experience and the pelvic therapy that made SUCH a massive difference for her. And for those of you who are interested, that information is in the show notes, so go check it out!   Shyla was a student of mine inside of The Homebirth Collective while she prepared for her fourth baby. While she'd already had 3 births under her belt, Shyla knew that she wanted to re-enter birth and motherhood differently-- more sacredly-- this time around. And that's where the HBC came in. If you're looking to prepare for both your homebirth and the deep foundations of your sacred motherhood experience, I hope you'll join me inside of The HBC.

As we head into this week's episode roundup, I want to focus on the hope and joy that came alongside the pain of Shyla's struggle with secondary infertility. She did not give up on her dream of more children, she continued to learn and search, and she found such an amazing resource. There was so much pain in the losses she experienced, both of babies and her father, but there was a rainbow, indeed. And even moreso, I love that Shyla, CONTINUED to focus on her emotional healing after her third birth. When she became unexpectedly pregnant with Ulysses, baby #4, she knew she needed to take her mental and emotional preparation seriously, and that's exactly what she did inside of The Homebirth Collective. She didn't have to bring the hurt and sadness of her previous experiences into her birth, and that made all the difference.   This Week's Sponsors: Araza Beauty: Code HOMEBIRTH for 15% off Informed Pregnancy+   Join The Homebirth Collective Join Happy Homebirth Academy Code PODCAST for 10% off
