'Are You Pregnant Yet?'

'Are you pregnant yet?' It's a question so many of us hear, all too often. Sometimes it's from well-meaning strangers and other times it's from loved ones - but anyone going through IVF knows that question stings!So how do you decide who to tell? And how do you set up health boundaries and expectations? In this episode we speak to expert IVF Counsellor Melissa Stephens about how to navigate these questions. We also speak to our special guests Marcela and Rowan, who after 8 months of doing everything by the book decided it was time to seek fertility help. Through initial testing the couple found out that Rowan has a condition that means he is infertile. With the help of IVF they have become a family of three, welcoming a little baby boy, and today they join us to share their story. SPECIAL THANKS To Marcela and Rowan for sharing their story.

When You’re Not Good At Getting Pregnant

At first trying for a baby is fun...you’re taking it easy and letting your partner carry the heavy groceries during the two-week wait. And then the months tick by, marked by the wheel in the app on your phone that tracks your sex life, ovulation, and sadly for many, your period. The mental toll of infertility is something that our host Leigh Campbell, and guest Hannah Mansur are very familiar with and we also hear from IVF Counsellor Melissa Stephens to share her wisdom... SPECIAL THANKS To Hannah for coming on the show and sharing her family's story.

Amy & Her Partner Froze Her Eggs, Then They Separated

For anyone on the IVF journey, your frozen embryos are your lifeline if you want more children down the line. Embryo freezing gives you more chances to fall pregnant later, without having to do another cycle of hormone stimulation. But what happens when, for whatever reason - maybe you’ve gone through a divorce or you’ve completed your family - and now you no longer need those embryos? What do you do or, better yet, what can you do with them? Our guest today, Amy, went through this and she admittedly didn’t really know how to deal with it, so she paid the storage fees for years before making a decision... SPECIAL THANKS To Amy for coming on the show and sharing her family's story!

Just a heads up to my US friends - it’s mentioned that the US has “no financial support whatsoever” and that is incorrect. There are many financial options - programs, grants, and a large amount of insurances are taken by clinics. Thank you for this podcast!
