How much do women really know about their fertility?
This week on Milk & Mummies, I’m joined by fertility and reproductive medicine doctor Dr Nagla Elfaki for an honest conversation about fertility, motherhood, ambition and the realities many women aren’t told about reproductive health. We discuss fertility myths, IVF, trying to conceive, balancing career ambitions with family life, and what women should know about their fertility long before they start trying for children.
We also talk about identity, motherhood, and the pressures women face when navigating career progression alongside family planning.
In this episode:
Fertility myths and misconceptions
IVF and trying to conceive (TTC)
Motherhood through the eyes of a fertility doctor
Career ambition after children
The realities of balancing work and family
Advice every woman should hear earlier
Whether you’re already a parent, planning for the future, or simply curious about fertility and women’s health, this episode offers practical advice and honest insight.
