Show Notes
This week Lauren discovers that she can get David to bring her anything in the half hour after taking her pessaries as she has to lie down. More chaos as we have to go to A & E on the day of the Doctor’s strike. For some reason there is also a parade of sickly children, who seemed to have been sent by the IVF goblin to make us both cry. None of it is helped by the fact that the Nurse didn’t seem to know what IVF is. We discuss positive results and the struggle to allow the joy in when we have been burned so many times before. Dr. CHATGPT collects information and a character profile on Lauren in order to plot her demise. We discuss how everyone seems to to want to eat dinner at the dining table but we are all lazy and eat in front of the TV. Lauren reveals her sixth sense in sniffing out knob-heads and baddies within 30 seconds of meeting them. Also in an attempt to measure HCG levels from home, Lauren creates a bloodbath in our kitchen that leaves our house looking like the end of the movie “Carrie”. We also answer listener questions about possible benefits and drawbacks of going for IVF treatment abroad. T/W - This week we discuss positive results, negative results and miscarriage.
