The Fertility Lounge

Infertility affects 1 in 7 heterosexual couples in the UK which is just over 14% and yet it is rarely spoken of.

The physical and daily emotional battle can be truly overwhelming and yet it is rarely spoken of.

It can affect so much, including...

Relationships 💗
Friendships 🛍
Social life 🥂
Work life ☎️
Your diet 🍰
Mental health ⛑
Sleeping patterns 💤 ... and so much more.

This is why I trained as a fertility wellbeing coach because I have seen so many of my BB ladies go through the rollercoaster ride of IVF (or similar) and they are some of the bravest and strongest women I know and yet they often felt so alone and isolated.

I want every woman to feel hope, to feel heard, but, most of all to to feel supported so everything feels that bit easier than it did. You are braver than you know 💗

Absolutely... be heared, be inspired, be supported.

I am SUPER excited to announce that as from May 2022 there will be monthly Fertility Wellbeing Workshops held at my BB Studio.

The power of the mind is pretty impressive and expectations is one example of self hypnosis. Negative chatter is just a bad habit, what we think will happen often does so lets focus on the positives.

Such a powerful advert by Bodyform.

It's great to see it covering various subjects that are sadly classified as 'taboo' even in our modern world.

What are your thoughts on it? Would love to hear.

Just had to share... Stay safe all 💗

As I was scrolling through my personal Facebook today, I came across this image. It resonated deeply and profoundly with me.

A friend's FB post triggered me today. In all honestly, I misread her post, which she pointed out. Unfortunately, that triggered me even worse. You see, she knows my journey. And she didn't even say that she was sorry her post triggered me.

But then, I must realize that we are ALL struggling right now. Though the view from our windows might look different, each of us is battling to survive this stay-at-home, social distancing, global pandemic situation.

So, whether you are young or old; have tons of kids or none; are married, single, divorced, or widowed; are staying at home every day or required to go to work... No matter your story, we are in this together.

So many hugs, fabulous ones...

Your mind truly does create your world. If you are not already following Dany Griffiths please check out her page as she inspires so many on both fertility and emotional wellbeing, grab a cuppa & have a read.

This is something I always say to my clients and it’s never been more important than right now.

I’m seeing a lot of people sharing that they are struggling with being in lockdown, and no longer being able to physically roam free as we once could.

On top of that there is fear because the reason we are in lockdown is due to trying to contain a deadly virus.

The truth is though we are only ever as free as our minds allow us to be and for many even without lockdown, they are trapped in their heads.

So what can you do about that?

The simple answer is to change the thoughts in your head.

This is because your thoughts evoke emotions, so what you think is how you feel.

Rather than think about all the restrictions you are having to deal with, think about what you can be doing instead.

When Anxious Annie/Andy turns up in your mind tell them you will meet for 15 mins a day to debate the facts of your situation.

Notice I say Facts because most of what Anxious Annie/Andy want to share with you is Fiction. They have no proof of the things they want to frighten you with, but you believe them all the same and that generates more fear.

Enjoy planning how you want your life to be when this is over, because there will be a time that this is over, and it is good to remind yourself of that.

Most importantly be accepting of the fact that this is where we are at right now, it is what it is and how you choose to talk to yourself about this situation will be the difference between feeling trapped and feeling free.

Comment below and let me know how this lands with you, and what other help you feel you need to be able to do what I am suggesting.

‘Stay Safe, Stay Strong, Stay Connected.’

This is something we talk through as part of the Freedom Fertility Formula sessions because your emotional wellbeing matters as much as your health.

You can truly live a happy life whilst holding space for your much awaited baby and I am here to support you.

A truly beautiful baby shower this weekend for my FFF case study who you may of followed via this page or through her beautifully written blogs over their 10 year story. Luisa is now 36 wks pregnant and looks radiant.

I felt so privileged to be there amongst her close f & f.

Thank you so much for inviting me into your journey.

🌈💗

Language is so very powerful.

It's okay to admit you don't know what to say, here are some suggestions 💕

A beautiful gift from a very special FFF & now BB lady.

Thank you so much, you are one amazing lady 💗

Your emotional health is so very important and for this reason is why I became a FFF Coach. Look after you.

4 Ways To Take Care Of Your Mental Health When Struggling With Infertility Because your emotional well-being shouldn't be neglected.

This is a great article written with honesty.

How do you feel about disclosing all the details of your fertility story, surely its a personal preference?

💗

Cameron Diaz had a baby at 47, and she doesn't owe us an explanation of how she did it When Cameron Diaz shared the news about Raddix, questions swirled around whether she carried the baby herself and whether she used her own eggs.

Today I am coaching session 3 of the Freedom Fertility Formula which is all based around 'reprogramming'.

As early as your mothers third trimester of her pregnancy with you, you were being pre-programmed with your beliefs and how you deal with things.

Scientists estimate 95% of these run in the background of your subconscious on a daily basis.

Some of these maybe working beautifully for you, but, what about the ones that are now holding you back?

This is where the session becomes really interesting and so very empowering. You will take control and be able to let go of what is no longer supporting you by removing and re-routing as to what you need 💗

This week I have session two of the Freedom Fertility Formula with a client which is all about 'emotions'.

Each emotion has a meaning and a message and its OK to stop, listen and let these feelings flow 💗

The cycle of infertility is filled with so many mixed emotions. You feel both hope and defeat equally. After about a hundred months of experiencing this cycle, it becomes too hard to pretend otherwise. It's okay to hope and it's okay to cry. Love, Chiemi 💕

TOGETHER we can make a difference.

Infertility affects 1 in 7, that is a crazy statistic.

Speak out, share what has helped you, inspire others.

If you have a friend or family member going through this do you ask how they are and I dont just mean day to day I mean how they REALLY are?

Message them, ring them, invite them out for a coffee.

OK, they may not feel up to it or could cancel last minute, sometimes you just can't face it, but, knowing that you are their is enough, being there is enough.

Peer support makes such a huge difference when you are in a place that can feel so very isolating and I want to change this and provide a safe space for women to talk open and honestly and to truly feel heard.

Emotional and Mental health is real and its creating more impacts than we are truly aware of.

Lets stop it being 'taboo', lets talk fertility.

💗

For anyone that has been through fertility issues I am pretty sure you will relate to this. Emotional well-being is just as important as your physical health.

I wish women felt they could reach out for support 💗

Donating your eggs is an amazing thing to do.

💗

Here is how a mum-of-one struggling with her own fertility has helped another woman have a baby thanks to an IVF egg sharing scheme Despite her own troubles in conceiving, Holly Atkinson, who is waiting for her fourth round of IVF, has donated some of her eggs, resulting in another woman being able to have a much longed-for child.

YESTERDAY we had a great private session for the first of the six core modules which can lead to additional specific sessions if and when required (ie IVF).

The Freedom Fertility Formula has been written by the renouned fertility hypnotherapy expert Dany Griffiths and as always her main aim is simplicity wellbeing.

This fertility support is all about you being heard, your emotional wellbeing, building your self confidence,
reclaiming your emotional control and promoting mind and body balance and connection which is paramount.

What is covered in the 'Foundation' session:

* Story share.
* Success steps.
* Script for relaxation.
* Self care for daily life.
* Sixth-sense of your fertility to date.

To find out more about how I can support you please just drop me an email or PM me here & I will answer any questions you have or send you over further info.

Our candle is lit in memory of all the beautiful angels that are so very much loved & missed every single day.

Much love to all that are touched by this heartache.

QUESTION TIME.

Complimentary therapies can make a huge difference to your fertility. What have you found most beneficial?

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY. You often hear the phrase these days that 'its OK, not to be OK', but, so many do not feel that it is OK to show how they feel.

Individuals feel that they need to be strong daily, but, noone has the perfect life even though social media often portrays very different to this perception.

Be kind to yourself, get fresh air, have an early night, eat a nutritious meal, exercise, read, spend time with family, ring your friend or meet up for a coffee & cake.

Do what YOU need to do rather than always putting everyone else first and reach out and ask for help if it is ever needed, you are loved and its OK to say 'no' too.
