Fertility 101: How to try to get pregnant (explained by a fertility doctor)

What are the chances of getting pregnant each month? How do you know when you're ovulating? Is there a "best" sex position to conceive? And can the pill, stress, or diet affect your fertility?

On this episode of Too Much Information, Issy is joined by fertility doctor Dr Nagla Elfaki (@fertilitydrnagla) for a back-to-basics, myth-busting guide to trying to conceive (TTC).

They break down how conception really works, explain what’s normal (and what isn’t), and cut through the misinformation you might find on social media.

Expect expert advice made simple, honest answers, and the facts about getting pregnant that sex education missed.

We’ll be answering the questions…

💭 Should I do an AMH test?

💭 Does the pill affect fertility?

💭 Do we need to have sex every day to get pregnant?

💭 What supplements should I take when TTC?

💭 Should I put my legs in the air after sex?

If you're trying to conceive or curious for the future, this episode will help you feel more informed and less overwhelmed.

About the expert:

Dr Nagla is a OBGYN doctor specialising in reproductive medicine. Alongside her work at a leading UK fertility clinic, she shares evidence-based fertility tips for TTC and IVF on social media.
