If you’ve found your route to parenthood hasn’t been straightforward, The Fertility Podcast is for you. From how to optimise your fertility to getting pregnant naturally, navigating IVF, understanding donor conception or surrogacy to how to prepare for a life without children. Whatever your situation, you are not alone. Created by Natalie Silverman, a former fertility patient in 2014, I then joined forces with Kate Davies, an independent fertility nurse consultant as we spoke to a range of experts and people just like you. Today in 2023, Kate is now hosting the podcast without Natalie ( who you can find hosting The F Word at Work ) here the podcast is going back to its routes to share more patient stories as we’re here to hold your hand, on your route to parenthood including how it impacts you at work. PLEASE NOTE: The Fertility Podcast has an archive of its 300 episodes on new podcast feeds called: Getting Pregnancy Ready, Infertility Support, Male Fertility, Alternative Routes to Parenthood, and Pregnancy Loss. Just have a look in your podcast search and be sure to subscribe.

    Love this podcast
    This episode is incredibly moving. Tess Souray's journey through IVF and pregnancy loss is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Her story of resilience and advocacy in the face of adversity is truly empowering. If you're on a fertility journey or need a source of strength, this episode is a must-listen.
  • Badgers mom
    OBSESSED WITH PODCAST
    I love this podcast so much. Very insightful and I can’t recommend to my clients.
  • Cristy Murray
    From TTC to parenthood
    Love that you hold people’s hands from TTC to parenthood!! What a great podcast to keep coming back to.
  • katieandme
    Wonderful
    I just started listening and I already feel so supported by these women. So great to hear you all chatting about these topics that are often not spoken about. It’s easy to feel discouraged and alone when struggling with fertility issues. So helpful. Really love this podcast, thank you
  • couponer12222
    Not my cup of tea
    “If you’re not in a heterosexual couple, maybe you’re not a couple” turned me off to this podcast. Not very inclusive.
  • LizF1024
    Awesome
    Great info! So helpful
  • leempierce
    Great support for aspiring parents
    This is a great podcast for parents looking for support and advice while trying to get TG any. It’s great that this kind of support is out there
  • Irishonfire31
    Check it out!
    What a hard struggle to go through. My friend and his wife went thru it. Worth it since they have a daughter now!
  • LaurLars
    So good to not feel alone
    Infertility is such a hard thing to talk about, and can feel so lonely at times. It is amazing to hear stories from women on all different subjects of fertility and be reminded that there are so many out there feeling the same way you are, and there is support for whatever you are dealing with. Thank you for this podcast!!
  • TPalm2006
    Amazing
    This podcast is so so so helpful! My husband and I are battling male infertility and I have learned sooooo much about that topic as well as IVF. Thanks soooo much Natalie for all the wonderful info you put out on here! I will tell all my friends! ❤️
  • Pradeepa Narayanaswamy

  • ValerieLandis
    Fantastic Fertility Facts & Information
    Natalie produces such a groundbreaking podcast that addresses one of the most difficult issues facing women and men around the world. If you’ve ever struggled to have a child or have someone close to you go through this struggle, this podcast will give you the inspiration and support you need. She addresses all the angles to help couples of all types get to baby. A must listen. A+++
  • bbhamani
    Supportive, Informative and Interesting
    I am an avid listener of the Fertility Podcast from the US - I find the information to be well researched and presented in a straightforward manner. I am left feeling better prepared to handle not only my own fertility concerns, but prepared to offer support to my friends who may also being going through this same struggle. On a more aesthetic note, the presenter's voice is very easy to listen to and the production quality of the podcast is top notch. A+
  • A_Carnes
    Love your podcast. It's helping me!
    Thank you for your podcast. I love how you interviewed an actual nutrition expert and she gave very useful information about supplements and healthful food for better egg and sperm quality. Love all of your episodes so far! One tiny criticism I have is please fade in the music more quietly. It's a bit jarring to have it full volume all at once and played a strange intervals. There is little warning of the adverts but it's ok. This podcast is actually helping me and my husband talk about the fertility issues we are having. I love the one you did from the man's perspective, Wannabe Dad. Thank you!
  • Primal Potential
    What a great addition to the podcast world!
    I struggled with PCOS and infertility for years. Because of my PCOS, doctors didn’t give me much hope. I had to take matters into my own hands and overcome my condition through diet and exercise. It transformed my life. I wish there had been a podcast like this, giving not only information, but also empowerment, to people struggling with infertility. There is SO much we can do and it’s awesome to see this information being presented!
  • Redchampagne

    Much Needed Podcast
    As a couple who have been discouraged and disappointed by the challenges of infertility, we really appreciate this podcast. Aside from the helpful information, this show provides hope for those struggling to start a family. Worth a listen and subscribing to if you are dealing with infertility.
