Share your TTC story ✨And then, if you finally see those two pink lines… surprise. The anxiety doesn’t magically evaporate.In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Andrea Liner, a licensed clinical psychologist and reproductive psychologist specialising in infertility, IVF, pregnancy after loss and postpartum mental health. She’s also an IVF mama herself, so she understands this world from both sides of the chair.We talk about the stuff that doesn’t make the highlight reel:• How infertility can quietly erode your relationship • The identity crisis around “egg quality issues” • What IVF does to your nervous system • Why pregnancy after infertility feels like a confusing in-between • Disenfranchised grief and sadness you don’t feel “allowed” to have • Rebuilding trust with your body after months of monitoringWe also dive into her story of PCOS, autoimmune issues, egg retrievals, being told at 32 to consider donor eggs, uncovering inflammation and gut imbalances, switching clinics, and eventually welcoming her son, Miles.You can find Dr. Andrea Liner at https://fluxpsychology.com and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/reproductivepsychologist/If you loved this conversation and want a deeper dive into what happens inside the IVF lab, listen to my episode with Emma the Embryologist here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/14-inside-ivf-with-emma-the-embryologist-myths/id1825750893?i=1000731837986Because understanding both the emotional and biological side of IVF? That’s power.If you’re trying to conceive and exhausted, in the middle of IVF, pregnant after loss and terrified to relax, or just craving support from someone who truly gets it, this episode is for you.If Andrea’s story made you realise fertility doesn’t exist in a vacuum, that inflammation, gut health and stress matter, it may be time for a new approach.I work with women to support fertility from the foundations up.
