Summer Holidays and the TTC Timeline

Summer holidays can feel anything but relaxing when you’re trying to conceive. Fertile windows, IVF injections, pessaries, medication schedules, time zones, airport security, and questions about why you’re not drinking can make travelling feel like another logistical challenge—not a break.In this supportive episode, we explore the realities of taking a holiday during fertility treatment or while trying naturally, including how to prepare for medication, manage treatment discreetly, and set boundaries with family and friends. You’ll also hear a candid story about navigating IVF medication in a port-a-loo while sightseeing in Barcelona—proof that fertility treatment doesn’t always happen in convenient places!Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to take a break, protect your privacy, and enjoy your holiday without having everything perfectly optimised. With a little planning, you can handle the practicalities and still be present for the moments that matter.For more support, check out my ⁠Monthly Fertility Snail Mail letter subscription ⁠
