Too Much Information, the women's health podcast

Are you using the word "vagina" wrong? What does a normal vulva actually look like? Is it okay if sex sometimes hurts? And why does your body change so much in your 30s and 40s?

On this episode of Too Much Information, I'm joined by Dr Amber Savary-Trathen (@doc.ambs), a doctor specialising in sexual health, for a myth-busting guide to your own body.

We take the "embarassing" questions that keep you up at night and separate what's normal from red flag symptoms you need to get checked.

Expect a healthy dose of TMI and permission to stop worrying about the things that are actually completely normal.

We'll be answering the questions…
💭 Is my discharge normal?
💭 Should I be using a special wash down there?
💭 Why do I keep getting yeast infections?
💭 Is it okay for one boob to be bigger than the other?
💭 Why has my sex drive changed?
💭 Should I be worried about bloating?

If you've ever Googled "is this normal" and not loved the answers you found, this episode is for you.

What does it feel like to have an embryo transfer? Is natural better than medicated? And what should I be doing and not doing to increase the chances of implantation?

Issy sits down again with award-winning fertility nurse Fran Steyn and IVF patient and podcaster Annabel Gammack, who featured on past episode, What to expect from IVF.

Together, they unpack everything that happens between egg collection and embryo transfer – from choosing the right transfer for you right up to what actually happens on transfer day.

This isn’t a medical protocol guide. It’s the honest, human insight you don’t always get from your clinic: the physical side effects, emotional rollercoaster, practical realities, and TMI moments nobody warns you about.

Expect expert advice, lived experience, and reassurance that whether you're preparing for your first embryo transfer or your fifth, you're not alone.

We’ll be answering the questions…
💭 What’s the difference between a fresh and frozen embryo transfer (FET)?
💭 Should I choose a medicated or natural embryo transfer cycle?
💭 What medications will I take before my IVF transfer?
💭 How can I prepare, physically and emotionally, for transfer day?
💭 What actually happens during an embryo transfer – and does it hurt?
💭 Do things like embryo glue, beetroot juice or bed rest actually improve implantation?
💭 Should I rest after embryo transfer, or carry on as normal?

If you're preparing for an embryo transfer or supporting someone through fertility treatment, this conversation is for you.
