Show Notes
Another round of new IVF test results leave us reeling, feeling a bit tired and even more poor. We discuss life as a child in the 80s - watching films you shouldn't and being sent to the shops as an 8 year old to buy cigarettes for your parents. Lauren tells us about her best ever first date (and it wasn't with David), and new robe she bought for her next transfer cos she's a comfie, cosy, bouji Queen and she reveals her one and only impression of a famous person. We (start to) learn about Lupus Anticoagulant, a condition that sounds like it's exclusively for Victorian orphans, but actually impacts our fertility quest. We cover clinics dropping the ball and how to move past it and we begin prepping to roll out some "spermies" merch.
More from The Baby Making Business
This week David and Lauren reflect on the arrival of baby Cashel.
Lauren goes in for a routine scan and is kept in. The Baby is coming. It's D-Day.
This week, we’re talking about trust, transformation and two very different approaches to nesting. But drive each other bonkers in the process. We start with the deeply troubling stories emerging from fertility clinics in northern Cyprus, where families say DNA testing has revealed that the sperm or egg donors they carefully selected may not have been the donors used to conceive their children.
Today is a balance of silly buggers and “Getting deep Deborahs.”
To mark IVF day, we celebrate Jean Purdy, perhaps the greatest unsung hero of IVF. In doing so, we discover Rabbits were also trailblazers in the science of IVF.
