My Fertility Podcast, EP01, Why am I not pregnant?
Stopped drinking and smoking cannabis for about a month now. Struggled for years trying to conceive. I hope that i didnt make irreversible damage.
Interesting, feeling how the bloating and pain receded within approximately two months made all the difference, I simply go’ogled the latest by Tilly Strankten and her Ovarian Cyst Guide and although it really took about 10 weeks for it to totally shrink and vanish I’ve never felt so light and relaxed.
Dr Zeni delivered my son on New Year's Day, 2023 🥳 He has a great bedside manner that calmed me down before an emergency cesearean.
This was a really interesting podcast. Invaluable information❤
Thanks for your comment. Happy to hear you enjoyed the episode 😊
I didn't cry... nope! Not me! This team. I swear you guys are a dream❤
A very personal story Dr. Zeni shared. We got teary eyed too!
