WHY YOU NEED A FERTILITY NURSE...
I know what you're probably thinking, why work with a fertility nurse when you can see a doctor or fertility specialist?
While that makes complete sense, MFN is here to bridge the gap between the two.
-
Have you ever felt your appointment with your doctor or specialist felt rushed or you didn't feel heard or listened too?
-
Have you ever felt dismissed and told to come back only once you've been "trying" for 12-months?
-
Have you ever felt there was more to your fertility that is yet to be uncovered?
-
Have you ever felt that your doctor or clinic haven't been giving you enough support or you feel like a number moving through the motions and jumping when they tell you to jump?
MFN is an extra resource to add to your healthcare team. Helping to fill those gaps that you've definitely experienced and enabling you to take as much time as you need to help you feel empowered, in control and brightening your path to parenthood.
RESEARCH SUPPORTS EXTRA FERTILITY
CARE
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN:
-
People in earlier phases of TTC, experience the same level of anxiety and depression than those going through fertility treatment
-
Psychological distress has been found to begin before fertility treatment starts and worsens during the course of treatment
-
The levels of anxiety and depression seen in female infertility patients has been shown to be similar to levels of distress in newly diagnosed cancer patients
-
Fertility care that includes both emotional and physical support helps reduce stress and improve wellbeing, treatment effectiveness and adherence and may even improve pregnancy rates....so fertility care matters!

![Ovulation facts I wish everyone knew, from your go-to fertility bestie 🙋🏼♀️
• Ovulation doesn’t always happen on day 14
• You can't ovulate twice in a cycle, but you can release 2 eggs
• Having regular periods doesn't always mean you're ovulating
• Your egg can only survive for 12-24 hours after ovulation
• You can have a positive ovulation test and still not ovulate
• You're most fertile BEFORE ovulation
• Ovulation is the main event in your cycle not your period
When you understand more about fertility, ovulation and your menstrual cycle, it means you can make informed, supportive choices about your fertility and reproductive health ✨️

![I've recently had some comments from my clients in my TTC textline that I wanted to share...
These women are smart educated women but when it comes to trying to conceive, they feel stupid...
• Stupid that their body isn't doing what its designed to do
• Stupid that they may not have understood their body as well as they should
• Stupid that they have to ask silly questions
• Stupid like they're the only one going through infertility
• Stupid that they're in the limbo of fertility treatment, IVF or pregnancy tests.
If I could tell you anything to anyone that feels the same, it would be: you're not alone, you're not meant to know everything, and you can't blame yourself for not knowing something you were never taught.
You're not stupid, you're only human ❤️

![March is Endometriosis Awareness Month 💛
With 1 in 7 women or girls experiencing endometriosis in Australia, I couldn't go past sharing some signs and symptoms to look out for to discuss further with your doctor or healthcare provider.
The average time frame to be diagnosed with endometriosis is 6.5 years, which is far too long!⚡️
Signs to be aware of:
•Chronic severe pelvic pain that interferes with your daily life
•Pain during or after s*x
•Pain around ovulation
•Pain when going to the toilet to do a pee or poo
•Heavy bleeding
•Irregular menstrual cycles
•Fatigue
•Infertility or trouble conceiving
•Lower back or leg pain
•Endometrioma seen on ultrasound
The thing about endometriosis is that it is complex. You could have severe pain but only mild endometriosis or severe endometriosis and only sign for example be infertility. ✨️
The sooner you start the conversation about your concerns or symptoms you're experiencing, the sooner you can get a diagnosis and appreciate treatment or management!
