WTF is IVF? While you might already know that IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that is used around the globe to help couples, women and men with infertility diagnoses to make a baby.

In this first episode of season 2, Tim and Chriss have a chat about what it means to start trying to have a baby, and what to do when it doesn't just happen! First up: what does "trying" involve? Scheduled sex? "Not-NOT trying"? Ovulation charting, period tracking etc. etc. What's normal in terms of how long it can take to conceive before you are considered to be "infertile" as a couple? Turns out it's a lot longer than you think! Common causes of infertility - and the male and female statistics! Fertility testing - what is it, how do you access it, when should or will you go through it? Our story: from "trying" to crying! Just kidding...but not really. Tim and Chriss go through the first part of their trying to conceive journey, stopping just short of IVF (that's to come in the next episode of Season 2). We discuss how it feels to be "failing" to fall pregnant, the pressure that you can place on yourself and ways to keep your relationship and your psychology healthy in what is a really trying time. Don't forget to leave us some feedback and a 5-star rating! xo

THERE'S NO DENYING IT; SOCIAL MEDIA IS EPIC, IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. IT'S SPRAWLING UNDERNEATH US, ABOVE US, INTERTWINED THROUGHOUT THE EARTH IN AN EVER-GROWING MANNER THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THAT MAGICAL BEAST FROM GREEK MYTHOLOGY WITH MULTIPLE HEADS THAT WHEN YOU CHOP ONE OFF, MORE SPRING UP IN IT'S PLACE. IT'S HERE TO STAY, AND HAS (SOMEWHAT SCARILY) TAKEN ON A LIFE OF IT'S OWN. This excerpt was taken from a blog post written by Chriss on the impact social media is having on our health. This week on The Welliverse, Tim and Chriss discuss the ins and outs of using social media, and how to take responsibility over the way we use it to benefit our own psychological health as well as the health of others. We also explore the way social media works and the impact our likes, clicks, shares, views etc. are having on what shows up in our feed and the feeds of others.
