In this episode, I shared a heartfelt and candid conversation with Alison, a teacher from Hong Kong who wanted to have her own baby at the age of 40. She shared her personal journey of trying to conceive and the challenges she faced along the way.

Alison initially hesitated to pursue the option of donor eggs and spent a significant amount of money on IVF. Her body did not respond well to hormones and regular IVF treatments. She then attempted donor egg treatment in Thailand, but felt scammed by an unqualified doctor, which led her to experience feelings of despair. She later went to Greece and underwent three successful transfers, but unfortunately miscarried.

During her journey to becoming a mother, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and Hong Kong went into lockdown, preventing her from leaving the country. Adding to her hardships, she discovered one day that her husband had left her, forcing her to choose between the baby or her marriage. Despite the disappointment of failed attempts and the emotional toll it took, Alison expressed her unwavering determination to have a baby.

After enduring six rounds of IVF, including four cycles with donor eggs, she finally succeeded in her seventh attempt and joyfully welcomed her long-awaited and deeply cherished child into the world.

However, after conceiving, she received a call from her best friend, who wanted to end their relationship because she believed Alison would become needy due to her pregnancy. Along her journey, she lost both her husband and her best friend. Nevertheless, she found support from numerous people, including old friends and a group of supporters.

"Basically, love and support have come from the strangest places because everything that should have supported me didn't, and all these unexpected people have provided support. So, yeah, it's been quite beautiful."

Don't miss Alison's remarkable story of resilience and hope as she shares her experiences with fertility astrology, the challenges she faced, and the unexpected sources of love and support she found. This episode is a powerful reminder to keep an open mind when dealing with infertility challenges. Listen now for inspiration and to witness the joy of welcoming her long-awaited child into the world.
