Show Notes
On the show today, we discuss the two-week wait. What to expect, what support you might need, how to communicate what you are going through and how to pass the time when you're waiting to find out if your treatment worked. And fertility specialist Dr Anne Coffey joins us to talk through how to look after your mental health when you are going through assisted fertility. Plus, if you are going through IVF right now and want to know if air travel, altitude or stress could affect your chances of falling pregnant through assisted fertility, then this is the episode for you.

More from Get Me Pregnant
Welcome to Hello, Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting. In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray help you navigate finding out you’re pregnant, which often happens after a missed period around the four-week mark. They’ll walk you through the physical changes, emotional ups and downs and give you practical tips on what you can do at this point in the pregnancy. THE END BITS:
A mum with a birth plan, and a baby with a very different idea…
They say it takes a village to raise a child, but what about before the child exists? When a baby is so deeply longed for but things aren’t turning out as you planned, who can you turn to for support?
A truth, universally acknowledged by anyone struggling with infertility - is that babies and pregnant people are everywhere, so how do you deal with it? This episode we speak to expert IVF Counsellor Melissa Stephens, and ask how to navigate emotions like grief, jealousy and envy, and how to set healthy boundaries for yourself. We also speak to Amy, who after years of trying for a second child with fertility assistance has decided it's time to close the book, and celebrate the family that she has. SPECIAL THANKS To Amy for coming on the show and sharing her family's story!

'Are you pregnant yet?' It's a question so many of us hear, all too often. Sometimes it's from well-meaning strangers and other times it's from loved ones - but anyone going through IVF knows that question stings!
