Special Episode! Will Most Women With Recurrent Miscarriage Go On To Have A Baby? - with Lora Shahine
In this episode ... well it's the season finale!
Wrapping up season 1 with an incredibly informative episode chatting to Dr. Lora Shahine about all things miscarriage, and I spill the beans on why season 1 ends here!
Dr. Shahine is a Fertility Specialist, IVF doctor, Reproductive Endocrinologist, Author and Podcaster based in Seattle.
We discuss:
What are some myths about miscarriage that aren't helpful?
Does the emotional support from your specialist affect your fertility?
Are chromosomal abnormalities the main cause of recurrent loss?
Should IVF be considered when miscarriage is the issue?
Should we add in medications like steroids or progesterone without indication?
Where should research be focused on in solving "unexplained" infertility?
And more!

We Could Have Let Our Son's Death Destroy Us But That's Just Not Who We Are - with Sarah Morris (IVF, unicornuate uterus, ANA, miscarriage, endometriosis, stillbirth, twin pregnancy)
In this episode Sarah shares very openly and evenly her journey through IVF, ANA, being diagnosed with a unicornuate uterus, the loss of her perfectly healthy son, and the double rainbow that followed.
I messaged Sarah before releasing this episode as I wanted to know if the term “stillborn” was how she refers to her son Michael so I could use the appropriate term in this episode description.
She thanked me for asking, and said that even though her son was born alive, he had passed by the time a medical professional saw him and so he is technically classed as a stillborn. She gave me the go ahead to use the term.
So even though I have. I also don’t want to rob Sarah of anymore than she has been. I don’t want to ignore those seconds that Michael lived. I don’t want to use a term just because it’s easy or technically apt. I want to honour her story, Michaels story. So I’m sharing this here, so we can all hear and know, that “stillborn” does not always encapsulate the exact experience of this type of loss.
And so that we can truly understand the extent of Michael’s life.

There's An Implication That If You Avoid Certain Foods; Don't Smoke; Don't Drink, Your Pregnancy Will Thrive - with Jennie Agg (recurrent miscarriage, progesterone, women's health journalist)
In this episode Jennie eloquently explores and unravels many of the emotional veins of miscarriage. On Jennie’s path to motherhood she suffers four devastating miscarriages before staying pregnant with her son, aided (we think) by progesterone pessaries. Being an award-winning health journalist, Jennie has an unending supply of fascinating fertility tidbits to share and her own musings on loss are so genuinely poignant and relatable. We discuss the 12 week rule, why Jennie doesn’t like the term “chemical” pregnancy, how it feels to be 1 in 100 and suddenly go from “it’s just bad luck” to “something is wrong here”, the role progesterone pessaries play (even when your own hormonal supply looks sufficient), the theory that some women's bodies will accept "any old embryo" and so much more!

Customer Reviews
Life changer
I was recommended this podcast on a mums ttc group app after going through my second loss for the year. I was hesitant before listening as I have never listened to a podcast before but this podcast has literally been my saviour each day. With my second loss it was quite hard for me to face the world or even go back to work. Since listening to this amazing podcast I feel more then ready to go back into my normal life. I feel so much stronger and positive after listening to the experiences of other mums and mums to be. Thank you so much Laksmi for creating this amazing podcast. Lots of love and light to you x
My new best friend
Love the candour, honesty and information in this podcast. Listening to your podcast has helped me heal, kept me informed and opened up options I didn’t know were available.
My favourite episode is with Francesca Naish, like listening to that old school knowledge wrapped up in simplicity and comforting me on days where I want to give up.
Recommended listening for any person going through this journey.
Thank you for creating this podcast and becoming my new best friend, sharing information and offering advice and ultimately helping me heal.
Raw, inspiring & supportive
One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to, and it’s one for everyone to listen to, not just those who are battling infertility. Thank you Laksmi for creating this podcast to share stories and information to help others. I learn something new in every episode! Laksmi and the guests lay everything they have on the table, their raw emotions exposed, sharing feelings that I feel too, but can’t quite say out loud myself. Thank you for being brave and making a difference by sharing your story.
