All IVF ever wanted

All IVF ever wanted

We are giving it one last shot. This will be our 8th round of fertility treatment following 2 losses - 1 early miscarriage and a Termination for medical reasons (TFMR) as our baby had Edwards syndrome.

New protocol, new clinic, new country, one last try.

This podcast is to document this round of IVF week by week, the prep, the treatment, the waiting, the results, all of it. We will also be joined by experts to discuss and answer some of your questions as we go.

Keep everything crossed for us and thanks for tagging along for the ride!
