    EP 84 | IVF Brain Is a Thing (And It’s Not Just You)

    In this episode, Lucy and Yaelle explore something many people experience during fertility treatment but rarely hear talked about: IVF brain. From forgetfulness and brain fog to emotional overwhelm and mental fatigue, they unpack why it happens, including the impact of hormones, stress, and the emotional load of treatment. They also discuss what it can feel like to navigate everyday life, work, and relationships while struggling to stay focused and mentally present. If you've ever walked into a room and forgotten why, found it hard to concentrate, or felt emotionally and mentally exhausted during IVF, this episode offers reassurance, validation, and the reminder that you're not alone.
