How does the vaginal microbiome impact your fertility?

If you have followed me on instagram or ever been to clinic, you'll know we talk a lot about Vaginal Health. There is a link between a healthy vaginal microbiome and positive fertility outcomes. So this week I am joined by Alison Hall, a fertility nutritionist who has a lot of experience and knowledge to share around this topic. In this episode we discuss: what is the microbiome and what is a healthy vaginal microbiome why this is important for fertility studies that have shown links to fertility outcomes, miscarriage and pre term birth research from Tommys in this area microbiome testing and how this can differ from tests offered at the GP who this test is for signs you might want to test (fertility problems, Vaginal Health problems, IVF failures, miscarriage,history of STD's) where you can go to test treatment approaches to improve your vaginal microbiome how to maintain a good vaginal microbiome If you want to find out more we use a company called Invivo for testing, and there are other options out there like Daye, ScreenMe. And as always we recommend getting professional help and support for testing and treatment in this area, so please do get in touch if you would like further information. I am currently mid way through a Vagiversity Course with Moira Bradfield and her site is excellent for further information, research and support in this area. I've also written a blog with more information on here.
