IVF Uncovered

In this episode, I speak with Relationship and Sexuality Expert, Courtney Boyer. The conversation explores the challenges and misconceptions associated with maintaining physical intimacy and a healthy sexual relationship during the fertility treatment process. Courtney shares actionable insights and techniques for couples undergoing fertility treatments, such as the role one's perspective on their own body plays, the significance of setting personal boundaries, the importance of understanding the varying sexual needs of partners, and the idea of a 'pleasure practice'. The episode also gets into the differences in sexual desire between men and women, and some advice on how to manage body image during fertility treatments and beyond. It's good one!! And not just for people on their fertility journey.

What you will learn:

• The differences in sexual desire between men and women
• The role of body image in intimacy and during fertility treatments
• Understanding the sexual needs of your partner
• What is a pleasure practice and why should you do it?

About the Host:

Tasha Blasi is an IVF consultant and Founder of The Fertilitites Unite Project (FU Project for short, and yes, that was intentional). Using her background in the sciences, and personally going through ten rounds of IVF for her two children, she has created a life mission to help patients doing IVF know as much as their doctor so they can ask better questions and get better treatment...all while bringing an unfiltered, humorous tone to this often heartbreaking subject.
