The Fertility Conversation We Never Hear About, with Seetal Savla

This week on Come Curious, Florence is joined by fertility writer, speaker and advocate Seetal Savla for a deeply honest conversation about the side of fertility journeys we rarely hear about. At 34 weeks pregnant herself, Florence sits down with Seetal to talk through the reality of trying to conceive — from early loss and years of IVF, to the emotional rollercoaster of hope, grief, and the pressure to keep going when your body and heart are exhausted. Seetal shares her experience of five rounds of IVF, navigating clinics that sometimes made her feel more like a “walking credit card” than a patient, and the stigma surrounding fertility struggles, particularly within South Asian communities where conversations about loss and infertility are often hidden behind silence. The conversation also moves into pregnancy, birth and postpartum life, including the difficult physical and emotional realities after a C-section, how reproductive trauma can resurface after birth, and why planning support in the early weeks of motherhood can make all the difference. In a surprising twist after years of IVF, Seetal also shares how she conceived naturally after deciding to step away from treatment. A reminder that fertility journeys rarely follow a predictable path. This episode is compassionate, vulnerable and full of wisdom for anyone navigating fertility, pregnancy, loss, or supporting someone who is.
