Show Notes
We are back in Athens for our next transfer. We have picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off, had a quick check of the credit card limit…and we’ve gone again!
It’s our 6th transfer now and we are sad/poor/old pros by this point. We don’t help ourselves by accidentally picking a hotel that had lovely pictures but is ghetto adjacent.
This week we talk about the different approaches to pain management between Greece and the UK when it comes to IVF treatment.
David buys Lauren some meaningful jewellery and almost poisons her and we discuss making friends on holiday - mainly how we hate it. However we are forced to eat humble pie when an Angel from Texas interrupts our night and proves that we shouldn’t be such anti-social A-holes.
We discuss IVF clinic waiting room etiquette and how our partners can be the most supportive on Transfer Day, as well as the Thibaut Flament story that has been in the news this week and we learn an interesting fact about IVF in Saudi Arabia.

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.
