You may remember Brooke Hogan (now Brooke Pitt!) from Australia’s Next Top Model, from one of her many incredible businesses (LE MÓN, Our Pilates) or follow her online. However you know of her, or if you’re yet to come across her, you’re going to love this episode.

TRIGGER WARNING - this episode does discuss themes of infertility, IVF and threatened miscarriage. Please know there is a happy ending to the story, but we appreciate these topics may be upsetting to some listeners.

In this podcast Brooke so graciously and openly covers:

• Her struggle with infertility
• Her experience with assisted reproduction - starting with ovulation induction, then IUI and finally IVF
• The impact on her relationship as well as her own mental health
• How her body responded to the IVF drugs and her experience with overstimulation
• The emotional rollercoaster that finally led to a pregnancy
• Threatened miscarriage and some of the challenges in early pregnancy
• How to support your loved ones who are going through fertility challenges
• and more…

You can connect with Brooke on Instagram and follow along as her beautiful bump grows and her family expands.
