Show Notes
This week we are full of existential dread about where our IVF Quest might take us next. We chat about how we navigated the holidays through the lens of a recent loss and where we were able to sneak small moments of joy. We chat about Irish Christmas chips, not putting up Christmas trees and the struggle with being around children at Christmas (not cos we hate them , but cos we’re trying to bloody have one.) David also goes into detail about getting viciously attacked by our three year old niece on boxing day. We make a huge confession about learning harmonies to songs in the car in secret and discuss whether or not we should open a pub. As per, we stumble through some IVF sciency-stuff (we both scraped a C in GCSE science); discussing our PGTA test results, genetic counseling and adapting to a more natural protocol for our next transfer. We saddle up and prepare for another trip to Greece and Lauren discusses whether to rawdog it or be put under for the next embryo transfer. T/W this week we talk about loss.

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.
