In this episode of the Her Fertility Podcast, I reconnect with fertility doula and coach Sophie Byfield, who shares her infertility story—four years of IVF, IUI, medicated cycles, and overwhelm—before stepping back to heal her body through sleep, stress support, simplifying supplements, and changing how she nourished herself, which led to getting pregnant within 12 weeks.
We talk about why fertility isn’t a light switch, why your body prioritizes survival over reproduction, and how nervous system regulation is often the missing piece when you’re trying to get pregnant. Sophie breaks down common cycle patterns, explains why “more supplements” isn’t always better, and shares male fertility basics like early sperm testing (including DNA fragmentation) and avoiding heat from laptops/phones.
