How to talk about your fertility journey with friends

Trying to conceive can be an emotional, isolating journey—and even well-meaning friends don’t always know what to say. In this episode, Lara explores the comments and “solutions” that can hurt more than help, from “just relax” to unsolicited advice, and shares what genuine support can sound like instead.Discover how to set kind, clear boundaries with friends, ask for the support you actually need, and protect your relationships while navigating fertility treatment. Whether you want someone to listen, check in, offer a distraction, or simply say, “I’m here,” you’re allowed to communicate what feels right for you.Lara also reflects honestly on friendships she lost during her own IVF journey and why speaking up about your needs can make all the difference.Plus, there’s exciting news: Dr. Jill continues her weekly Wednesday episodes, and fertility nutritionist Rachel is joining The Daily Try every Thursday to answer your food and fertility questions.
