Let’s play: THIS or THAT – Fertility Edition 👀

Fertility is full of advice, myths, and confusing information online… so we thought we’d turn some of the most common questions into a quick game.

Swipe through and see if you guessed right.

Some of these answers surprise people the most:
✨ Egg quality often matters more than egg count
✨ The best time to conceive is usually before ovulation
✨ Age plays a bigger role than most people realise
✨ Sleep can impact both egg and s***m health
✨ Vitamin D deficiency is extremely common in fertility patients

Understanding these small things can make a big difference when trying to conceive.

How many did you get right?

Many IVF patients with low ovarian reserve are told they may only produce a few eggs each cycle.

Because of this, waiting month after month for another stimulation can be frustrating and time-consuming.

DuoStim (Double Stimulation IVF) is an approach designed to help maximise the number of eggs collected in a shorter time.

By stimulating the ovaries twice within the same menstrual cycle, doctors can perform two egg retrievals in around two weeks.

This can be especially helpful for:
• Low AMH
• Poor responders
• Women with limited time
• Patients wanting to accumulate embryos faster

Research has shown that follicle recruitment occurs in multiple waves during a cycle, which is why a second stimulation can still produce mature eggs.

While it’s not the right option for everyone, DuoStim has
become an important strategy in modern fertility treatment.

New research has explored whether intravenous NAD⁺ therapy may improve IVF outcomes in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).

In this 112-patient clinical study, women undergoing ICSI cycles served as their own controls — completing one cycle before NAD⁺ therapy and one after 10 weeks of intravenous NAD⁺.

The results showed statistically significant improvements in:

• Mature (MII) egg numbers
• Fertilized embryos (2PN)
• Grade A embryos
• Overall good-quality embryos (A + B)

The most striking improvement was seen in embryo quality, with Grade A embryos increasing significantly after NAD⁺ therapy.

Both women under 35 and those 35+ (POSEIDON groups 3 and 4) demonstrated measurable benefits.

Why does this matter?

Egg cells are highly dependent on mitochondrial energy production. NAD⁺ plays a central role in mitochondrial function, oxidative stress balance, and cellular aging — all key factors in egg competence and early embryo development.

While this was a single-centre, non-randomized study and did not assess live birth rates, it adds to the growing body of research supporting metabolic and mitochondrial optimisation in fertility care.

More large-scale randomized trials are needed — but the science behind mitochondrial support is compelling.

If you are navigating IVF with low AMH or poor ovarian response, this is an area worth discussing with your fertility specialist.

Normal ≠ Optimal 🤍

In fertility care, “normal” bloods or scans often bring reassurance —
but implantation doesn’t happen in averages.

It happens in a finely balanced environment, where hormones, inflammation, blood flow, and timing are working together.

This is why two people with “normal” results can have very different IVF outcomes.

Optimising doesn’t mean chasing perfection.
It means gently supporting the conditions that allow an embryo to attach, signal, and stay.

Why your body needs a pause 🤍

If you’re in the middle of IVF or TTC, the pressure can be relentless.
Appointments. Bloods. Timelines. Waiting. Hoping. Overthinking. Trying to stay “positive.”
And it can start to feel like if you stop — even for a moment — you’ll lose momentum.

But here’s the truth:
A pause is not a setback.
Often, it’s part of the plan.

Your reproductive system is deeply connected to your nervous system, thyroid, metabolism, immune response, and inflammation levels. When your body stays in a constant “go-go-go” state, it can quietly affect:

• ovulation quality
• luteal phase / progesterone support
• thyroid signalling
• insulin sensitivity
• sleep + recovery
• inflammation + implantation environment

Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is create a window of regulation — where your body feels safe enough to shift out of survival mode and back into balance.

A “fertility pause” doesn’t mean doing nothing.
It means doing less — but doing the right things consistently:
✨ sleep support
✨ nourishment + blood sugar stability
✨ gentle movement
✨ reducing intensity and overload
✨ nervous system care
✨ emotional support

You are allowed to rest.
You are allowed to breathe.
And you are not falling behind by taking care of your body.

The fertility checklist you never knew existed 🧾

Many people reach IVF having had multiple tests —
yet still feel confused, dismissed, or told
“everything looks fine.”

That’s because fertility is rarely about a single hormone,
a single scan, or a single appointment.

It’s about how your systems work together:
• hormonal signalling
• thyroid & metabolic balance
• egg and s***m quality
• inflammation & immune function
• nutrient status
• lifestyle foundations

When even one piece is missed, fertility can quietly struggle —
through poor egg quality, weak ovulation, implantation failure, or repeated IVF disappointment.

A deeper, more connected approach doesn’t mean more tests for the sake of it.
It means testing with intention, timing, and context.

Almost one year of EPCS 🤍

When we launched EPCS last February, it came from one place:
too many patients falling through the cracks in early pregnancy.

Every single person who has joined our care has had fertility struggles — previous loss, failed transfers, or never having been pregnant before. These are not low-risk journeys.

Today, some of our earliest EPCS journeys have reached a very meaningful milestone — we’ve already welcomed 12 EPCS babies, and we never take that lightly.

✨ Monitoring matters
✨ Timing matters
✨ Feeling supported matters

Early pregnancy isn’t passive — especially after loss. EPCS exists to provide structured monitoring, expert oversight, and genuine care during the weeks that matter most.

If you’re newly pregnant, feeling anxious, or carrying the weight of past loss — you don’t have to do this alone.
We’re here 🤍

Here’s to more supported pregnancies, more graduations, and more EPCS milestones ahead.

Match the symptom to the system 🧩

So many people on a fertility or IVF journey are told
“your tests are normal” — yet their body keeps sending signals.

Irregular cycles. Fatigue. Bloating. Recurrent loss.
These aren’t random or unrelated issues.
They’re clues pointing to which system needs support.

Fertility doesn’t exist in isolation.
It’s influenced by how well your hormones communicate, how your thyroid regulates metabolism, how your gut clears hormones and controls inflammation, and how stable your blood sugar remains day to day.

When one system is out of sync, the reproductive system often feels it first — through delayed ovulation, poor implantation, cycle disruption, or repeated IVF setbacks.

That’s why looking at fertility through a whole-body lens matters so much.
Not just one hormone.
Not just one blood test.
But patterns, timing, and how your systems interact together.

✨ Symptoms aren’t something to push through.
✨ They’re information.
✨ And when you understand what they’re telling you, your next steps become clearer.

🩸 Why timing matters with fertility blood tests

Hormones don’t stay the same throughout your cycle.
They rise, fall, and peak depending on where your body is hormonally — which means a result can look “normal” and still miss what’s actually happening.

For accurate fertility testing, timing matters:
• FSH, LH & Estradiol: Day 2–4 of your cycle to assess baseline ovarian signalling
• Progesterone: 5–7 days after ovulation (not a fixed cycle day) to confirm adequate luteal support
• AMH: Can be tested on any cycle day
• Thyroid & Prolactin: Best tested in the morning, well-rested, as stress and sleep can affect results

This is why so many people are told “everything looks fine”
yet cycles are irregular, ovulation is weak, or implantation doesn’t happen.

Fertility isn’t about single numbers or one-off tests.
It’s about patterns, precision, and interpreting results in context 🤍

If you’ve ever felt confused by your blood results, you’re not broken —
the timing may simply have been missed.

Your thyroid plays a much bigger role in fertility than most people realise 🤍

Thyroid hormones help regulate ovulation, menstrual cycles, implantation, and early pregnancy development. When levels are too high or too low, cycles can become irregular, ovulation may not occur, and implantation can be affected.

Low thyroid function (hypothyroidism) is linked to:
• irregular or absent periods
• difficulty ovulating
• increased miscarriage risk
• poor embryo development

Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can also disrupt cycles and hormone balance, making conception harder.

Even mild thyroid imbalance — especially elevated TSH or thyroid antibodies — can impact IVF outcomes and early pregnancy, which is why thyroid testing is an essential part of fertility assessment.

Supporting thyroid health is often a key step in optimising fertility ✨

If you’re trying to conceive or preparing for IVF, checking and optimising your thyroid could make a real difference.

✨ What Your Cervical Mucus Is Telling You About Your Fertility ✨

Your cervical mucus (CM) is one of the most reliable — and most overlooked — signs your body gives you about where you are in your cycle.
Understanding these changes can help you identify your fertile window, support your TTC journey, and even highlight when something might need further investigation. 💛

Here’s what each phase really means 👇

🩵 1. Dry / No Mucus (Early Cycle)

Right after your period, it’s normal to have little to no cervical mucus.
➡️ This usually means low fertility, as estrogen hasn’t risen yet.

💛 2. Sticky / Creamy CM

As estrogen begins to rise, your CM becomes creamy, thick, or lotion-like.
➡️ This means your body is warming up for ovulation — fertility is low to medium.

🤍 3. Watery CM

A sign that ovulation is approaching.
➡️ S***m can move more easily, and your cervix is beginning to open.
This indicates medium to high fertility.

💧 4. Egg-White Cervical Mucus (EWCM)

The star of the show!
Clear, stretchy, slippery — this is your peak fertile mucus.
➡️ EWCM helps s***m survive longer and travel faster.
➡️ This is your highest fertility window, usually 24–48 hours before ovulation.

If you’re TTC, this is the best time to try.

🩷 5. Thick / Sticky Again (After Ovulation)

Progesterone takes over after ovulation and dries up the mucus.
➡️ Fertility drops again, and the cervix closes.

🔍 When CM Changes Need Attention

If you notice:

Foul smell

Yellow or grey mucus

Itching or pain

Bleeding outside your period
These may indicate infection or hormonal imbalances. Always seek medical review.

✨ Why Cervical Mucus Matters

🔹 Tracks ovulation naturally
🔹 Helps time in*******se accurately when TTC
🔹 Can uncover issues like low estrogen, anovulation, or infection
🔹 Changes can be an important part of fertility optimization and monitoring for IVF cycles

Your body speaks — your mucus is one of its clearest messages. 💫
Learning to read it can give you real insight into your fertility.

Trying to conceive can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re constantly hearing what you “should” or “shouldn’t” do.
So today’s This or That is all about simple lifestyle choices that can make a meaningful difference for your fertility. 💛✨

None of these are about perfection — just gentle habits that support hormone balance, ovarian function, egg and s***m quality, and overall metabolic health.

🌿 This or That: Fertility Edition

✨ Coffee or Matcha?
Both can fit into a fertility-friendly routine — but matcha offers a gentler caffeine release + antioxidants. If you love coffee, aim for 1 cup/day.

✨ Evening Scroll or Evening Walk?
A 10–20 min walk after dinner improves blood sugar regulation, inflammation, ovulation patterns, and even sleep quality.

✨ Sugary Snacks or Protein-Rich Snacks?
Choosing protein + healthy fats (nuts, Greek yogurt, hummus, eggs) supports stable hormones and better insulin sensitivity — both crucial for TTC.

✨ Late Nights or Consistent Sleep?
Quality sleep boosts progesterone, improves the menstrual cycle, supports s***m quality, and reduces cortisol levels that interfere with ovulation.

✨ Skipping Meals or Balanced Meals?
Regular, balanced meals help stabilize glucose, regulate appetite hormones, and support smoother cycles.

✨ Daily Stress or Daily Reset?
Simple stress-management practices (breathing, stretching, journaling, grounding) help calm the nervous system — and reproductive hormones respond beautifully.

Remember:
🌸 You don’t need to be perfect.
🌸 You absolutely can enjoy your favourite things.
🌸 Small choices add up — consistency matters more than restriction.
🌸 You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough. 🤍
