Mindset Mentor and Coach Alice Rose Offers Advice to those Trying To Conceive

This week, on the Fertility Help Hub podcast, we had the great pleasure of speaking with Natalie Hart about her egg donor conception journey.Natalie met her fiancé late in life and, while she knew it would be difficult to conceive naturally, she didn’t expect to have less that 1% of her eggs remaining. When she began to show signs that she was peri-menopausal at 41, using an egg donor was one of her limited options to become a mother. Although this is not always the case, IVF and donor conception can be a tumultuous undertaking, as it was for Natalie, who has been generous enough to share her personal story with us. Listen below as we discuss Natalie’s experience of:<ul><li>Peri-menopause </li><li>Two IVF cancellations</li><li>Fertility specialists in Melbourne </li><li>Grieving the loss of genetic eggs and fertility </li><li>Overseas egg donation through a fertility clinic in South Africa</li><li>Selecting a first-time egg donor </li><li>Bleeding after an IVF transfer </li><li>Heterotopic pregnancy </li><li>Emergency surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy while protecting the uterine pregnancy</li><li>Having a donor conceived baby</li></ul>

How a Peri-Menopause Diagnosis Led us to Egg Donation

Beli not only caters for pre-conception, but they also support pregnancy and post-partum health too.Hear why it’s so important to keep taking fertility supplements following birth, even for the men!<a href="https://beli.pxf.io/c/2082573/1003700/13148" rel="nofollow">Beli for Women </a>can help to:<ul><li>Boost fertility for healthy conception</li><li>Improve egg quality</li><li>Protect baby’s brain &amp; spine</li><li>Maintain healthy energy throughout pregnancy &amp; postpartum</li><li>Support bone density for mama &amp; baby</li><li>Help reduce nausea</li><li>Support postpartum recovery and breastfeeding</li></ul><h3>When Searching For The Best Male Fertility Supplements, There Are Certain Aspects To Look Out For. For Example:</h3><ul><li>Avoid Herbal Remedies – they have been found to have a negative effect on fertility</li><li>200 mg of CoQ10 – this should be provided in the fertility supplements</li><li>The quantities of each ingredient – these should be clearly listed on the packaging</li><li>No unnecessary ingredients – like sugars, artificial colours, fillers etc</li><li>Antioxidants are beneficial to fertility. As sperm is subject to oxidative damage, it has been researched that antioxidants can help sperm quality. Therefore, Vitamins C, E, Zinc and folate have been mentioned as beneficial as they all possess antioxidant properties.</li><li>Coenzyme Q10 is an additional nutrient to the ones mentioned above that can provide fertility help.</li></ul><h3> </h3><h3>Get <a href="https://beli.pxf.io/c/2082573/1003700/13148" rel="nofollow">Beli For Women And Men Supplements</a> Here With 15% Off Using Code FHH15.</h3>

We discuss how the demand for fertility preservation (egg freezing) has increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact this has had on the fertility treatment sector.Louisa is also in the know on fertility preservation (egg freezing) costs, success rates and she tells us about the legal implications people should think about.We look at 2021 and how some old-fashioned law needs to be updated and how this will affect those looking at surrogacy in the UK, for example. Another hot topic is of course the length of time frozen eggs, sperm and embryos can be kept, especially with Covid fertility treatment delays.If you’d like to discuss your personal situation with Louisa, then feel free to <a href="https://louisaghevaertassociates.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA2uH-BRCCARIsAEeef3k2gWHfGiR30gTcvmVPICgnGT4ddodwulOv6EbBp3mmQR97SDBAKucaAocsEALw_wcB" rel="nofollow">contact her directly here</a>. Her specialist legal expertise includes: international and UK surrogacy, donor conception, fertility treatment law, posthumous conception, co-parenting and known donor arrangements, adoption, legal parentage, complex assisted reproduction disputes, children and family law disputes, divorce and finances, cohabitation, modern families and international family law. <h3>It’s a very informative and interesting chat.

<h3>Common Anxieties &amp; Considerations When Considering Donor Conception</h3>This week we had great pleasure speaking with Author and Therapist, Jana Rapnow.Jana is the author of ‘Three Makes Baby’ and has vast experience in supporting couples and individuals who are trying to conceive using donor conception (egg donors, sperm donors and embryo donation). Jana was adopted herself and has an adopted daughter, so it’s interesting to hear about her personal experience of alternative family building and the similarities and differences between donor conception and adoption.Navigating donor conception can be a daunting and anxious time, on top of trying to conceive - especially if you’re mourning the loss of genetics. Listen below as we discuss common concerns, questions and things to consider when going down the donor conception route:<ul><li>Anonymous vs open egg donors and sperm donors</li><li>Will the child love me?</li><li>Will I love the child?</li><li>Do we tell the child?</li><li>Will the child resent me?</li><li>Telling friends and family</li><li>Resources &amp; support available</li><li>Parenting a donor conceived child</li></ul>Having sperm donor conceived children myself, these are all the things I would have liked to have known more about when starting the process, even now.<h3>Listen in full below or via your favourite Podcast app…</h3>Simply click ‘view in browser’ on the image below or listen via any of the following podcast apps:<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fertility-spingboard/id1500594001" rel="nofollow">Apple</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4eZopwNZckAuEbVWpq0yAm?si=wdO1ieTNQfmRWwER4rjRSg" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://soundcloud.com/fertility-springboard" rel="nofollow">Soundcloud</a>

As we launch into June, we celebrate Gay Pride around the world. Whilst Pride can’t be celebrated in full force this year, due to Covid-19, we can still mark the occasion virtually, through conversation. With this in mind, this week we chatted to our friends at Two Dads UK to find out more about their coming out stories, how they felt knowing that having children wouldn’t be an easy route. Mike talks about how he married a woman at 19 to ‘make the gay go away’. He talks openly and honestly about being a child from ‘Section 28’ (The amendment was enacted on 24 May 1988, and stated that a local authority &#34;shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality&#34; or &#34;promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship&#34;) and the pain that came with that. Hear what they have created to support others going through surrogacy and egg donation and how they’re even working to get a law reform! Check it out - they’re about to host The Modern Family Show!

This week at Fertility Help Hub, we had the pleasure of chatting with world-renowned, licensed Naturopathic Physician and Medical Researcher, Dr Corina Dunlap in the United States. Dr Dunlap specialises in women&#39;s health and currently has a private practice in Portland, Maine. As well as a highly impressive resume, Dr Dunlap&#39;s work is frequently published in medical journals and she helps people around the world who are thinking about having a baby or actively trying to conceive. She also helps those who are undergoing fertility treatments and need some answers. Listen as we talk all about how our lifestyle and products we use can play a huge role on our fertility when trying to conceive and even IVF success rates. Whether you’re just starting out TTC naturally or you’re an IVF Warrior, it’s worth hearing about how naturopathic treatment can support and compliment western fertility clinic treatments. The smallest change by reducing toxins may make all the difference. Dr Dunlap also shares invaluable information on how parental age (men and their sperm especially) can cause long-term mental health disorders in children.
