    Female and male factor infertility with Rachael

    In this episode Rachael shares her experience of infertilty and a diagnosis of both female and male factor infertility which meant their only option was to do ICSI IVF. After grieving that they would not be having a baby naturally, they went ahead with this and in their first cycle of IVF, Rachael experienced overstimulation and then sadly miscarriage at around 9 weeks.  Her miscarriage was prolonged, difficult and ended in surgery. She then discovered she had developed hypothryroidisma and had to be treated for that before they could  try again with a frozen embryo transfer. That transfer was successful and is now their darling baby Lincoln.

    Infertility, miscarriage and the grief of being unable to have a second child with Cat

    I am so happy to bring you today’s episode with Cat.  Cat chats with me from a small idyllic village in England about her fertility journey. Cat’s journey has been 10 years and included a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. They had  3 rounds of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), 4 fresh rounds of In vitro fertilization (IVF) and 2 frozen transfers (FET). She has been pregnant 3 times, miscarrying twice and also losing an identical twin in her final pregnancy - the one that gave them their beautiful daughter Wren. Cat and I chat about the grieving involved when you are unable to have a second child and not provide your child with a sibling.  The grief that comes with your ending not looking as you expected and hoped for, but the gratitude for what you do have. It is such a beautiful chat     Cat's links Trying years - https://www.instagram.com/tryingyears/ Finally pregnant - https://www.instagram.com/finallypregnant/ Finally pregnant podcast - https://www.podpage.com/finally-pregnant/ The hang out membership  - https://www.catstrawbridge.com/thehangout Audio diary Part 1 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/5mggB0i02GUoGrBrO4EMZd?si=8ce61a27c75b4c07 Audio diary part 2 - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1kh11FWUoWhbMu93j2yM5l?si=8eda667a25f348f4 Janine's link Podcast insta page - https://www.instagram.com/waitingforyou.podcast/ Photography insta page - https://www.instagram.com/janinefoxphotography/ Photography website - https://www.janinefoxphotography.co.nz/

    Infertility and letting go with Kathryn

    Kathryn and her husband spent 8 years trying to coneive a much wanted child, which included IVF and miscarriage.   After 8 years they made the difficult decision to let go and carry on their life in a way that didn't match their dreams. "I had the movie version of my life in my head and I had to learn to let that go." Kathryn describes her experience as incredibly isolating and at the time she struggled to find the support she needed.  As a result of this, she is now a qualified life coach, specialising in infertility and supporting others on their journeys. Her passion is wanting others to know they are not alone and that support is available. She wants women to know that letting go is not the same as giving up and there can still be hope and happiness when you don't have children. This chat is so important because as hard as we try , we don't all get the fairy tale ending we are hoping for.  I am so grateful to Kathryn for sharing this with us.

    Baby loss in a pandemic with Esther

    Esther was pregnant with her fourth child during New Zealand's first Covid 19 lockdown, and living on a high country station in rural Kaikoura. The lockdown restrictions were stong and strict and her midwife appointments had not been regular, although things were going well. At 18 weeks her midwife could not find a heartbeat and after driving to Christchurch it was confirmed her baby had died. Because of the pandemic and restrictions she was separated from her husband and two of her children, but was able to join her parents in Christchurch  along with her young daughter Libby who had been at the midwife appointment with her.  Her dad was alongside her as she birthed her daughter.  Esther shares the beautiful way her family scattered the ashes of their baby.
