In the days after my operation, I bloat like a water balloon and recover on my mum’s sofa while waiting for what turns out to be a mega-period (that’s the technical term, right?) I tell poor producer Hannah all about my recovery, and we head back to The Lister for a debrief with Dr James about what happened during my collection and immediately afterwards. We’re also given a very special tour around the lab, and see the very tank which is storing my eggs, which makes me think about what happens next… *This podcast is not to replace medical advice.

10. A Visit to Jurassic Park

All you ever wanted to know (and probably a few bits that you didn’t) about egg&nbsp;freezing. What does it involve? What are the success rates? Will the hormones make me sad? And is it really true that a woman’s ovaries swell to the size of melons? Writer and host Sophia Money-Coutts is 35, single and having her eggs frozen. In this podcast, she shares her audio diaries of the whole process, from choosing a fertility clinic to the operation itself, along with the ups (and downs) of undergoing an emotional and hormonal procedure. She also investigates the science behind egg&nbsp;freezing and its rapid growth in popularity, and speaks to fertility experts and women who’ve gone through&nbsp;freezing&nbsp;about their experience of the procedure. Plus, she has&nbsp;the odd chat with her mum. <hr> Hosted on Acast.
