    IVF: The Road is Long....

    IVF: The Road is Long....

    It's the final episode of Season 3 and in this weeks bumper episode we answer some listener questions.  
    Romana also chats to fellow IVF warrior Saira (@ivfmyeggshatesperm).  Saira has been a great support buddy (something everyone going through IVF needs) over the last 18 months so it seemed fitting to chat to her for this final episode.  Plus, Saira's an avid researcher and after being on a mega long journey herself, her IVF knowledge is on point.  We chat about lots of things including chemical pregnancies, embryo grading, miscarriage and travelling abroad for IVF.

    Ewan and Romana ask each other........

    We're going solo this week as we reflect on the past 5 years.  It's not been an easy few years so we thought it was time to take stock and ponder on some of the highs and lows.  We ask each other some thought provoking questions and as always, we answer with complete honesty and hope in doing so it is helpful to you, the listener.

    Diabetes, TTC, Supplements and more with Dietitian Anita Beckwith

    Diabetes, TTC, Supplements and more with Dietitian Anita Beckwith

    After an epic four and a half months away we're back on home turf. Today we discuss how our follow up went at our clinic in Bulgaria and what the plan is moving forward.  
    Romana also chats to Anita Beckwith (@anitab_rd and @fertility.hormone.dietitian).  Anita is a UK Clinical Lead Dietitian specialising in diabetes and fertility, practising in both the NHS and her own private practice.
    Anita qualified as a dietitian over two decades ago, of which 17 of those years she has specialised in diabetes, regularly consulting with people with type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. It was during this time working with women and couples living with diabetes who were planning to have families, that Anita’s interest grew in fertility, and she now sees people with and without diabetes. Whereas, traditionally diabetes preconception care is glucose focused, Anita bridges the gap and provides a more holistic approach supporting diabetes management, overall nutrition and lifestyle.
    Anita supports many women, men and couples through their fertility journey, with the goal of providing a clear roadmap and the tools and confidence to advocate through their journeys.  She works in all areas of fertility with particular interest in the over 35s, miscarriage, IVF, diabetes and PCOS.
