Description

Topics we covered: 

Helena and Adam's journey to start a family was met with unexpected challenges. After years of trying to conceive without success, Helena took a proactive approach to her situation. This included embarking on a transformative weight loss journey and a thorough exploration of fertility treatments. Throughout this process, she faced various challenges with healthcare professionals, particularly related to BMI concerns, which significantly shaped her path.

In her quest for answers, Helena explored alternative treatments like acupuncture and sought more personalised care at private clinics. She also became deeply involved in the fertility community on Instagram, where she found a wealth of support and insights. Helena's approach to her fertility journey was holistic, recognising the importance of mental, physical, and emotional well-being.

A major theme in Helena's narrative is her emphasis on self-advocacy, thorough research, and proactive involvement in healthcare. Her perspective on fertility encompasses a holistic view, extending beyond the medical aspects. Through her Instagram account, TTC Hopeful Journey, Helena has become a source of support and inspiration for others navigating similar challenges.
