Rocky Relationships, Red Flags & Reconnection | The Fertility Diaries

In this week’s episode of The Fertility Diaries, Portia shares an update from another two-week wait, her birthday glow-up, and some of her latest book recommendations, along with a few fertility-friendly products she’s been loving.Charly gives an update on her bone broth revelation, how she’s been feeling since supplementing with iron, and why a phone call to her parents’ house finally prompted her to get going with her cardiac monitor.We also hear a very special update from one of our lovely listeners about her experience with a fertility clinic in Cyprus, which leads us into a discussion about the different levels of fertility care available across different countries.The main focus of this episode is relationships, inspired by another listener’s voice note. We explore what happens when fertility puts a relationship under pressure after one unexpected mistake, and whether one bad decision should define an otherwise loving relationship. We also discuss the importance of communication, avoiding blame, and finding your way back to each other during one of life’s biggest challenges.Inspired by Zita West’s Four Ps, we also chat about the impact of stress, the nervous system, and why looking after your relationship is just as important as looking after your fertility.In Between the Lines, we share our top tips for navigating heatwaves and supporting both male and female fertility during hot weather.And we’re closing the page on… reborn dolls unexpectedly appearing on Portia’s Vinted.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.
