    Ep 21 This Is Your Life

    How well do you really know your sister? When you meet your sisters for the first time as adults, there's a LOT of catching up to do. So, in this week's episode of Sperm Sisters, Gemma and Helen secretly contacted Nat's closest friends to uncover the stories and memories (and, of course, embarrassing moments) that shaped the sister they never got to grow up with. From wild adventures in France and Australia to raucous university parties, to the (not so) surprisingly thoughtful things Nat does for Mother's Day. We're piecing together the missing years, one story at a time. Which sister should go next?  Because when you've missed decades together, how else do you make up for lost time than by getting the gossip from everyone who knew her before you did?  It's funny and occasionally mortifying, heartwarming and a beautiful reminder that getting to know someone isn't just about discovering where your DNA comes from, it's discovering who they really are. 🎙️ Sperm Sisters – This Is Your Life 🎧 Follow us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and all podcast platforms so you never miss a new episode.

    Ep 20 Effics

    Would you trust 55-year-old sperm? And if scientists can create sperm and eggs from skin cells, are donor-conceived kids about to become a thing of the past?! Welcome to this week's episode, "Effics" - part 1 of our chat with Harriet, close friend of the podcast and actually qualified to discuss the ethics of the medical industry.  Join us as we begin to unravel who goes on the birth certificate when surrogacy is involved and why can't scientists research a fertilised embryo? Also, if donors were screened, none of us sisters would be here today. That's blown our minds.  Gemma, Natasha and Helen, (your friendly unhinged Sperm Sisters), give you another episode that's funny, fascinating and guaranteed to give you an existential crisis.  🎙️ Sperm Sisters - Episode 20: "Effics"  🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & all podcast platforms 📺 Watch on YouTube 📱 Follow us on Instagram for more Sperm Sisters chaos 💬 We want to hear from YOU!

    Ep 19 Most Likely To

    Which sister is most likely to return food in a restaurant? Or who is most likely to get back with an ex they definitely shouldn't? When you don't meet your sisters until adulthood, you've got a lifetime of questions to catch up on. If you've ever wondered what it's like watching three sisters make up for 30 years of missed banter, this is the episode for you. In this week's episode of Sperm Sisters, we're putting each other to the test with a game of Most Likely To, discovering who's the biggest people pleaser, who's most likely to cause chaos, and which sister we'd trust to keep us alive when civilisation inevitably falls apart. No DNA tests. No fertility scandals. Just three donor-conceived sisters doing what siblings do best, mercilessly exposing each other's personalities. Expect outrageous accusations, questionable honesty, and plenty of evidence that DNA isn't the only thing we have in common. 🎙️ Sperm Sisters Podcast – Most Likely To 🎧 Follow us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all podcast platforms so you're the first to hear new episodes. 📺 Watch every episode on YouTube. 📱 Follow us on Instagram for behind-the-scenes chaos, bonus clips and sister updates. 💌 Got a question for Sperm Sisters Mailbag?

    Ep 18 Sperm Down Under

    What would you do if you discovered you had an estimated 700 half-siblings? And what if it became your mission to warn them about your inherited genetic health risks? In this week's episode of Sperm Sisters, we're joined by Australian donor-conceived advocate Katherine Dawson, also known in the music industry as Evie Lucas, whose story is almost impossible to believe. After years of searching, Katherine discovered her sperm donor had used multiple aliases to donate at numerous fertility clinics and hospitals between 1983 and 1989, bypassing donor limits and creating an estimated 700 donor-conceived children. As Katherine connected with more and more of her half-siblings, she uncovered inherited health conditions affecting several of them, including a genetic bowel cancer risk and a family history of schizophrenia. Today, she's made it her mission to help her siblings access potentially life-saving medical information, information that every donor-conceived person should (but doesn't) have the right to know. We talk about Australia's decision to end anonymous sperm donation, the importance of medical transparency, what happens when fertility clinic regulations fail, and why donor-conceived people should have access to accurate family health information. Katherine's story is extraordinary, but the questions it raises about donor conception, sperm donation, DNA discovery, genetic health, and the future of the fertility industry affect families all over the world. A huge thank you to Katherine for sharing her story with us and for the incredible work she's doing to support the donor-conceived community.

    Ep 17 Icky Vicky

    What the Dickens?! Did the Victorians really believe strapping electric belts to their privates could improve fertility? And what on earth is a penny-farthing "bike face"? Welcome to Icky Vicky - our most gloriously unhinged episode yet. This week's episode is a little different. It's one long outtake from our early recording days, and after listening back, we decided it was far too ridiculous to leave on the external hard drive.  Join the Sperm Sisters (Gemma, Natasha and Helen) as we tumble down the rabbit hole of Victorian fertility treatments, bizarre medical advice, and historical myths that somehow managed to convince people they were improving their chances of having a baby. This episode covers: Victorian fertility treatmentsThe history of fertility medicineWeird medical mythsFertility facts vs fictionSperm Sisters chaosIf you've had a long week and just need a laugh, this one's for you. 🎙️ Sperm Sisters Podcast - Icky Vicky 🎧 Follow us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all podcast platforms so you never miss a new episode. 📺 Watch every episode on YouTube. 📱 Follow us on Instagram for behind-the-scenes chaos, bonus clips, and updates. 💌 Got a question for Sperm Sisters Mailbag?

    Ep 16 Queer Mama

    In this week's episode of Sperm Sisters, we're joined by our very first guest, Freya Lyon (@thequeermama) a second-generation queer mum who is donor conceived and has gone on to use a donor herself. Freya shares her incredible story, from navigating a sibling network that's even bigger than ours to building a meaningful relationship with her donor (who, we're delighted to report, sounds like a genuinely lovely bloke). We also talk about the two wonderful mums who raised her, how growing up in a loving LGBTQ+ family shaped the parent she is today, and what it's like raising donor-conceived children with openness from the very beginning. Insightful, heartwarming and packed with wisdom, this is one of those conversations that stays with you long after the episode ends. A huge thank you to Freya for being so generous, honest and hilarious. You're officially an honorary Sperm Sister 💛 If you're looking for brilliant content on queer parenting, donor conception and modern family life, give Freya a follow on Instagram: @thequeermama. 🎙️ Sperm Sisters Podcast - Queer Mama 🎧 Follow us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all podcast platforms to be notified when new episodes drop. 📺 Watch every episode on YouTube. 📱 Follow us on Instagram for behind-the-scenes chaos, bonus clips and sister updates. -------------------------------------- Get in touch and share your story with us, we're looking to interview people on upcoming episodes!  Email us at: spermsisterspod@gmail.com Whatsapp your questions: (+44)7507 834096 Follow us on insta: @spermsisterspodcast Subscribe on YouTube: @SpermSistersPodcast

    Ep 15 Money Jizz

    It’s how much to have a behbeh?!  In this week's episode of Sperm Sisters, we're following the money. As three donor-conceived sisters, we investigate the rising cost of fertility treatment, IVF, and sperm donation in the UK, asking whether eye-watering clinic fees are pushing people towards finding donors on social media instead. Oh, and Mandy’s back! We call Mum to hear what fertility treatment was really like in the 1980s. She gives us a bit of an eye opening biology lesson, it’s pretty insightful to be fair!  And… introducing Sperm Sisters Mailbag! 🎉 For the first time, we're answering your questions, sharing our thoughts, and diving into the topics you want us to discuss.

    Ep 14 Getting To Know You

    When you've spent decades apart, it's not just the big life events you miss, it's the glorious teenage disaster stories and embarrassing moments that help you piece together who your long lost sibling really is.  In this week's episode of Sperm Sisters, we're swapping DNA discoveries for teenage traumas as three donor-conceived sisters continue the important work of exposing each other's pasts.  Helen reveals the full extent of her Kate Nash-inspired college fashion choices (it was a confusing time for everyone involved), Nat revisits a couple of talent show incidents she'd probably rather forget, and Gemma shares why she stripped off in the middle of a lesson.  🎙️ Sperm Sisters Podcast 🎧 Follow on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and all podcast platforms to be notified when new episodes are released 📺 Watch on YouTube 📱 Follow us on Instagram for behind-the-scenes chaos and bonus content We've also recently shared our story with the BBC: 📰 Read our BBC article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7vyz109prvo 🎙️ Listen to our BBC Radio interview: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0nsz6l4 -------------------------------------- Get in touch and share your story with us, we're looking to interview people on upcoming episodes!  Email us at: spermsisterspod@gmail.com Whatsapp your questions: (+44)7507 834096 Follow us on insta: @spermsisterspodcast Subscribe on YouTube: @SpermSistersPodcast
