T/W This week we cover loss, miscarriage and positive results.

This week we sat down with the incredible Dr. Lucky Sekhon, who is fast becoming one of the most prominent voices in the world of IVF.

In the lead up to the launch of her book “The Lucky Egg” we discuss what made her want to publish. We discuss knowledge gaps in the world of fertility and IVF. We get into some mythbusting of supplements, how we are only scratching the surface on the level of attention given to patient and Doctor’s mental health in this field and some of the things to look for when choosing a clinic for your treatment.

Dr. Lucky has made it her life’s work to give patients all of the tools needed before approaching infertility treatment and her book is perhaps the first of it’s kind - a comprehensive and accessible manual for all things fertility. Links to her book below.

This week we are full of existential dread about where our IVF Quest might take us next.

We chat about how we navigated the holidays through the lens of a recent loss and where we were able to sneak small moments of joy.

We chat about Irish Christmas chips, not putting up Christmas trees and the struggle with being around children at Christmas (not cos we hate them , but cos we’re trying to bloody have one.)

David also goes into detail about getting viciously attacked by our three year old niece on boxing day.

We make a huge confession about learning harmonies to songs in the car in secret and discuss whether or not we should open a pub.

As per, we stumble through some IVF sciency-stuff (we both scraped a C in GCSE science); discussing our PGTA test results, genetic counseling and adapting to a more natural protocol for our next transfer.

We saddle up and prepare for another trip to Greece and Lauren discusses whether to rawdog it or be put under for the next embryo transfer.

T/W this week we talk about loss.
