This week we are talking about other things you could try in the initial stages of trying to get pregnant. We talk about the Mosie Baby syringe and the Fertility cervical cap and Kate gives her professional opinion. Mosie Baby was a conversation I had a good few years ago which you can hear here.
Our main interview is a conversation with Laura Hobson, a fertility awareness educator and she is the facilitator of The Body Literacy Collective, a UK non-profit that equips people with the information and tools they need to understand their menstrual cycles.
Laura has facilitated the development of a menstrual cycle charting app called Read Your Body, which can be used by people who are trying to avoid or achieve pregnancy or gain health insights.
The app is so interesting and it has total data privacy, is very customisable in terms of tracking options and constantly growing with everyone’s input. The Read Your Body app is a growing set of tools & learning resources designed to help you get to know your body and develop a confident, autonomous, effective menstrual cycle charting practice and is Kate’s ‘go to App of choice’ for women TTC as it is more accurate than the other apps.
You can check it out here and follow on Instagram.
Now, Kate has offered a 1:1 consultation with her, if you are the first person to email her and put: FertilityPod in your subject. Her email is kate@yourfertilityjourney.com
Here are some other really great fertility educators who work with Read Your Body to check out:
