Social Media sometimes you need to curate your feed

Social media can be a source of support during your fertility journey—but it can also become a painful spiral of pregnancy announcements, “we weren’t even trying” stories, endless symptom-spotting, and upsetting comments.In this episode, Lara explores how online spaces can amplify comparison, disappointment, and false hope—especially after a negative test or during the two-week wait. She shares honest reflections from her own IVF experience, including mistaking medication side effects for pregnancy symptoms, and explains why stepping away from your phone isn’t avoidance—it’s self-preservation.You’ll learn how to curate your feed, mute or unfollow accounts that don’t support you, find kinder and more honest communities, and protect your mental health while still feeling connected. Whether you need humour, practical information, supportive people, or simply a break from fertility content, this episode will help you create an online world that serves you—not one that leaves you feeling further behind.Your takeaway: review who and what you’re following today, and make one change that helps you feel safer, calmer, and less alone.
