Advice Overload

When you’re trying to conceive, unsolicited advice can feel less like support and more like pressure. Take this supplement. Stop drinking coffee. Relax. Try acupuncture. Have you considered adoption? Even well-meaning suggestions can leave you wondering whether you’re doing enough—and send you spiralling through endless internet searches and miracle stories.In this episode of *The Daily Try*, Lara explores why fertility advice can be so difficult to receive, especially when it comes from people who don’t understand your personal, medical, or emotional circumstances. She shares her own experiences of IVF, adoption suggestions, friendships, and the challenge of setting boundaries without hurting anyone’s feelings.Most importantly, this is a reminder that you don’t have to try everything, explain yourself, or carry other people’s anxiety alongside your own. You’re allowed to say, “Thank you, but I’m focusing on what works for me,” protect your peace, and trust that you’re doing the best you can with the information you have.
