A Sunday for Your Nervous System

Fertility treatment can leave you feeling constantly on alert—checking symptoms, tracking apps, anticipating appointments, and preparing for the next result. But when every cramp, twinge, or wave of nausea feels like a clue, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by uncertainty.In this gentle Sunday episode of *The Daily Try*, Lara explores how to give your nervous system a much-needed pause. Drawing on her own IVF experience, she shares why symptoms—especially during treatment—aren’t always reliable indicators, and how progesterone once convinced her that a transfer had worked.This episode isn’t about fixing your feelings, decoding your body, or perfecting your fertility routine. It’s about creating a small moment of safety and calm. From enjoying a cup of tea while sitting down, to taking five slow breaths or noticing what you can see and hear around you, Lara offers simple ways to interrupt the constant sense of urgency—even if you only have 10 minutes.You can’t erase the uncertainty, but you can give yourself permission to rest within it.For more support, check out my ⁠Monthly Fertility Snail Mail letter subscription ⁠
