Marriage, Memories & Missing Out | The Fertility Diaries

In this week’s episode of The Fertility Diaries, Portia shares an update following her appointment with Locus Medicus, talking through the tests she’s been offered, the next steps in her fertility journey, and the reality of the costs involved.Charly reflects on a recent TV series that sparked a conversation about chosen family and adoption, before opening up about debating another holiday!The main focus of this episode is one of the biggest questions many people face during fertility treatment: should you put your life on hold? Inspired by one of our listeners, we explore whether taking a step back and living life can sometimes be exactly what’s needed, or whether pressing pause feels like the only option. We talk about holidays, weddings, guilt, age, avoiding disappointment, and whether putting your life on hold is what we should or shouldn't be doing. In Between the Lines, we revisit embryo glue after one of our Instagram clips sparked lots of discussion. We share a little more context behind our own experiences, explain where embryo glue sits on the HFEA traffic light system, and why every treatment decision is personal.New episodes every Tuesday.Follow along: @thefertilitydiariespod @charlyhoencoach @portia_christina_Use code FDP10 for 10% off Zita West supplements.10% off valid once per customer.
