Miscarriage recovery involves both emotional and physical healing. Nutrition can play an important role in supporting the body as it rebuilds and recovers.

Foods rich in iron, protein, folate, vitamin C, and zinc can help replenish nutrient stores, support tissue repair, and assist the body in preparing for future conception attempts.

Simple foods such as red meat, salmon, leafy greens, citrus fruits, yoghurt and pumpkin seeds can help provide these key nutrients during recovery.

Gluten and Hashimoto’s is often oversimplified. Many women remove gluten immediately after diagnosis without screening for coeliac disease. But testing must be done while you are still consuming gluten for results to be accurate. If you are trying to conceive or preparing for IVF, this step is critical.

Multiple failed IVF cycles change you in ways most people never see.

It’s not just the procedures.
It’s the quiet bravery at every scan.

The way your heart races when the clinic calls.
The dates that once held so much meaning… and then didn’t.

It’s carrying hope and heartbreak at the same time.
Smiling at baby announcements while your own journey feels paused.
Feeling exhausted in a way sleep doesn’t fix.

If this is you right now, please know you are not weak for feeling tired.
You're not dramatic for grieving each round.

And you're not alone in this in-between space of hope and uncertainty.

There is nothing wrong with you for still wanting this deeply.

Sharing much love with you today.

IVF success is not just about protocols. It is also about nutritional readiness. Iron stores, vitamin D levels, omega-3 status, homocysteine, and zinc. These directly influence egg quality, embryo development and early placental formation.

This free IVF Prep Lab Checklist helps you understand which nutrition tests matter and how to use them to build a personalised supplement regimen for your IVF stage. Start with data. Optimise with strategy.

Hashimoto’s and fertility care often stops at a standard TSH blood test. But thyroid hormones regulate ovulation, egg quality, and implantation.

In this episode, I explain the three diet and nutrition mistakes that may be holding you back if you are trying to conceive with Hashimoto’s. If you have been told everything looks “normal” but you are still struggling, this is for you.

Iron deficiency and IVF outcomes are closely connected, yet often overlooked. A recent patient had low iron storage flagged repeatedly over 12 months while undergoing IVF. It was never addressed. She felt exhausted and confused. Iron plays a role in ovulation, oxygen supply to the ovaries, lining development, early placental formation, and embryo growth.

We confirmed her deficiency with a full iron panel, corrected her supplementation, optimised dietary intake, and scheduled follow up testing. If you are preparing for pregnancy or have experienced failed IVF cycles, review your iron status.

Trying to conceive with Hashimoto’s?

Hashimoto’s and fertility care requires more than a standard thyroid check. These three common diet mistakes can impact nutrient absorption, antibody levels, and thyroid stability.

Screen for Coeliac before removing gluten.
Check your total iodine intake across all supplements.
Consider lactose intolerance before cutting dairy.

Small adjustments can make a significant difference when preparing for pregnancy or IVF.

Understanding a semen analysis can feel confusing, especially when results are described as normal but IVF outcomes are not progressing as expected.

Count, motility, morphology, volume, vitality and pH all measure different aspects of s***m health. Vitality evaluates how many s***m are alive with intact membranes, helping distinguish immotile but viable s***m from dead s***m.

IVF is not just appointments and injections. It is the emotional weight no one else sees. The waiting. The fear before every phone call. The confusion when results look normal but pregnancy still does not happen. If this season feels heavier than usual, give yourself permission to slow down. Ask yourself

What do I need more of right now? What do I need less of? You are doing the best you can in a very hard season. Sending you lots of love ❤️
