Fertility challenges can take their toll on your body, as well as your mind and emotions. The waiting, the hope, the uncertainty... It can all add up, making your plate seem far too full.

Today is World Mental Health Day, so it's a nice time to remember how important it is to put yourself first.

Mental health is just as vital as physical health on your fertility journey.

Here are a few tips.

🫶 Give yourself permission to feel
It’s okay to feel sad, angry or even numb. Suppressing emotions can increase stress and tension in the body. Journalling, therapy or simply talking to a trusted friend can help lighten that load.

🧘 Find your daily reset
Try to schedule one small act of self-care each day, such as a quiet walk, gentle yoga or even 10 deep breaths. These mindful moments help lower cortisol and regulate the nervous system, both of which are beneficial for reproductive health.

💬 Reach out for support
You don’t have to do this alone. Fertility counsellors, support groups or your fertility specialist can all help you navigate the emotional side of treatment. Professional guidance can make a world of difference in feeling understood and supported.

🌿 Nourish your body and mind
A balanced diet, hydration and rest are fundamental, but so is kindness to yourself. Try reframing self-talk by replacing “my body failed me” with “my body is doing its best.”

💗 Set boundaries around fertility talk
It’s perfectly fine to say, “I’d rather not discuss that right now.” Protecting your emotional space is a form of self-care too.

If you’re struggling on your fertility journey, please feel free to reach out. You will need to get a referral from your GP.

Love, Dr Raewyn 💖

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month — a time to gently prepare to honour the babies who are no longer with us. With such a deep and unique grief, you might be wondering how you can prepare yourself for the day, and indeed how to best honour your lost little one.

One beautiful way his to join the global .

On October 15 at 7pm, families around the world will light candles to remember little ones gone too soon.

Some ideas I had that I thought I'd share are:
🕯️ Choose a special candle and set it aside for the night of October 15
💌 Write your baby’s name, a letter or a few words of love to place beside it
🌸 Gather with friends or family, or join an online remembrance event
📷 Share your light with the hashtag to help others feel supported
💖 Take time for self-care all the time, but particularly today, this week, this month. Rest, walk in nature or do something that feels nurturing for your heart.

Grief can feel heavier this week. Be gentle with yourself. Allow space for whatever feelings arise and reach out for support if you need it . We have fertility counsellors here at IVF Australia, and I've listed other resources below. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Miscarriage is more common than many realise 💔
It occurs in around 1 in 4 pregnancies, but that doesn’t make it any less devastating when it happens to you. Please remember, it is not your fault.

You deserve time and space to grieve in your own way. You don’t have to share your experience unless you want to, and it’s always okay to cry. When you’re ready, you may try again, and support is available if you’re struggling.

If you’ve experienced miscarriage, you are not alone. Compassion, care and medical guidance can help you through this difficult time.

If you’re struggling, please consider asking your GP for a referral. I’d love to support you on your journey.

Can Magnesium Help Ease PCOS Symptoms?

Living with polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS) can be challenging, but there’s some positive news! Research suggests that magnesium may play a helpful role in easing certain PCOS symptoms.

According to a study published in Frontiers in Nutrition, women with PCOS who are deficient in magnesium can experience its symptoms (like hyperandrogenism or excess male hormones, hirsutism or unwanted hair growth and poor sleep), more intensely.

However, it is now thought that magnesium supplementation may help improve these symptoms by supporting hormonal balance and helping to reduce anxiety, irritability, and muscle cramps.

Magnesium also works alongside vitamin B6 to help regulate mood swings and bloating, making it particularly beneficial for women experiencing premenstrual syndrome (PMS) alongside PCOS.

Ensuring you get the recommended daily intake of 350 mg of magnesium can positively impact your overall well-being, while also supporting bone health and energy levels.

Including magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, nuts, seeds, and whole grains in your diet may help manage PCOS symptoms and improve your quality of life.

If you’re thinking about starting a family or you’re concerned about your fertility, and have any questions, please ask your GP for a referral to see me.

Love, Dr. Raewyn 💖

After years of unanswered questions, she finally found validation when EndoFound co-founder Dr. Tamer diagnosed her with endometriosis and performed excision surgery.

Did you enjoy the little bit of 🌞 today?

Vitamin D does a lot of behind-the-scenes work when you’re trying for a baby. It helps regulate ovulation, supports implantation, and plays a crucial role in your baby’s bone, immune and brain development during pregnancy. But most of us aren’t getting enough, especially if we spend most of our time indoors or always wear high-SPF sunscreen (for good reason).

While you’ll find small amounts of vitamin D in foods like oily fish, egg yolks, liver and fortified milks, our main source is still sunlight. But there’s a fine line between being protected and being unprotected.

A quiet cup of tea on the balcony in the morning, with your forearms in soft sunlight, might be all it takes. Just a few minutes of indirect light several times a week can help, without the risks of sunburn, pigmentation or long-term skin damage. But be careful not to bask or stand in strong, direct rays. And when you’re out and about during the day, always wear SPF, a hat, and proper protection, especially when pregnant, as your skin can become more sensitive to the sun.

If you’re unsure whether you’re getting enough vitamin D or you’ve been trying to conceive for a while, ask your GP to check your levels. A supplement might be a simple fix that makes a big difference.

If you’re struggling to conceive, please do ask your GP for a referral to see me. We can discuss your situation and create a strategy.

19/08/2025

Many personal care and household products like fragrance, shampoo, skincare, cleaning sprays and even food packaging may contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that could be silently interfering with your reproductive health.

These chemicals, including phthalates, parabens, BPA, PFAS and DEHP can mimic or block hormones like oestrogen and are now being linked to PCOS, early menopause, egg loss, irregular periods and even lower IVF success rates.

In fact, a major new review published in Nature Reviews Endocrinology has connected EDC exposure to:
• Early or delayed puberty
• Premature menopause
• Poor egg quality
• Increased PCOS risk
• Lower fertility treatment success

Worryingly, these substances have been found in everything from breast milk to amniotic fluid, and exposure can start before you’re even born.

So if you’re trying to conceive or thinking about it for the future, it’s worth taking a second look at what’s in your moisturiser, perfume, makeup, cleaning sprays and food containers.

Happy Saturday, Ladies

Thinking about cutting back on alcohol while trying to conceive? You’re not alone. In fact, it’s one of the most common questions I’m asked.

Here’s the gentle truth: while the odd glass of wine might not seem like a big deal, research suggests it could impact your chances of falling pregnant. A 2021 study published in Human Reproduction found that women who consumed more than six standard drinks per week had a 18% lower chance of conceiving in that cycle compared to non-drinkers. And for men, excessive alcohol can affect s***m quality too.

So, what does that mean for you?
🌱 If you’re actively trying, it’s a good idea for both partners to reduce or avoid alcohol — especially in the two weeks after ovulation, when early implantation may be occurring.
💡 Cutting back doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Even reducing your intake can help support a healthier fertility journey.
🍼 And remember, everyone’s situation is different — what’s right for one couple might not be right for another.

If you’re curious about your fertility or you’ve been trying to conceive for a while without success, why not come have a chat. No pressure – we can simply discuss your situation and work out what some of your options might be. You will need a referral from your GP.

Love, Dr Raewyn 💖
