16. WE PULLED A SNEAKY ONE

The Baby Making Business

Show Notes

This week Lauren causes a scene at the airport on the way back from Greece and it’s her turn to get on the no fly-list. In a show-down of Karens, Lauren nearly meets her match. Then once on the plane, Lauren pees in a circle around David as he gets chatted up again (yeah right). We pull a fast one and leave Athens with some extra cargo on board, so we are forced to go into detail about our latest transfer. We discuss lucky transfer socks, not spooking the horse and what went differently this time. We decide that doing IVF is like Squid Game but for sperm and Lauren tries to justify why she went into her transfer dressed like Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. Maybe this is why she was able to rawdog it and do the transfer with no pain relief. This episode was officially reviewed by Lauren’s Dad; “It’s really funny and you talk about some important things - but there’s so much unnecessary swearing.” Show links: https://www.nexysfertility.com/about https://thefertilityalliance.org.uk/ Support our show here: https://buymeacoffee.com/thebabymakingbusiness
