    We get that it's tough, especially the last couple of years with COVID to keep things lively and positive when TTCing. 
     
    Some couples report that their relationship is affected positively both in how they now interact with each other emotionally and also in the physical and intimate part of their relationship.

    Understanding miscarriage

    Miscarriage is very common and it’s a topic.  It is estimated that 1:6 of pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Despite being common, this does not take away the heartbreak that suffering from a miscarriage causes. Each individual acts differently to a pregnancy loss. Emotions that women and couples feel range from anger, grief, disappointment, and guilt, to fear of it happening again and sadness or depression. These emotions are completely normal and if you have had a miscarriage it is important to allow yourself the time to grieve for your loss.

  8. (if you are in the USA) What is an FSA and an HSA?

    (if you are in the USA) What is an FSA and an HSA?

    What is an HSA or FSA? 

    A health savings account (HSA) and a flexible spending account (FSA) are both tax-advantaged accounts that allow you to save specifically for certain medical or wellness expenses. HSAs are usually only available to people who have a high-deductible health plan, and are tax-exempt, meaning money goes in tax-free, comes out tax-free, and can earn interest tax-free. 

    While FSAs also have tax benefits, they are only available as part of a benefits package from an employer, but the medical expenses you can use it on are very similar to an HSA. Typically, FSA funds are “use or lose” each year, while unused balances in HSA accounts roll over into the next year.

    Breastfeeding and Fertility – Why Tracking Your Cycle Is So Important

    Guest Blog By: Priscilla Goddard

    Breastfeeding was always something I had planned on doing once I had my child — in fact, in my mind, it wasn’t even an option not to! But as a woman diagnosed with PCOS, I was repeatedly told that I would have a very hard time producing enough milk to nourish my child in this way. 

    With that in mind, but determined to do what I had always planned, I began to contemplate my “what if” scenarios – what if I can’t produce enough milk. This led me to order herbs to increase milk supply and stock up on gluten-free oatmeal
