83 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago - ★★ - 1 rating

Fertility and the first 1,000 days is a podcast aimed primarily at women who are trying to conceive. It is for you if you are on a fertility journey of any kind, whether you have struggled with infertility, have conditions that impact fertility such as PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis, have suffered miscarriage, undergoing IVF, or just thinking about having kids in the future. This includes primary and secondary infertility. It is also for you if you're currently pregnant, in the postnatal period or have children under 2 (that’s what is meant by fertility and the first thousand days). It is also for you if you work with women, early years, or have an interest in such topics. Episodes will always be titled accordingly so you can listen to what suits your needs.

It is designed to be accessible for people who are busy and short on time with episodes under half an hour.

If you've felt overwhelmed with information and want simple answers to specific questions and issues around fertility, pregnancy and early motherhood then this aims to give you simple answers and quick wins.

If you want to be part of a supportive community, and you want to hear from somebody who is listening, I will always create episodes based on the needs of my listener.
