What’s the best way to truly own your fertility journey? In this episode, we talk about planning and preliminaries. Devising a game plan, from the very start, for the timeframe of your road to conception. (We might have succeeded after three years, not five, had we taken a more proactive and pragmatic approach.) Taking control with pre-emptive fertility check-ups, forward-thinking counselling, and initial budgeting, are three key conversations. We explore the choice of clinics, and why local is not always best. And we encourage a positive fertility mindset – the best way to keep grounded as you look to the future.

Our opening episode asks the question: do family and friends really give you the support you need? We talk frankly and honestly about our long and difficult fertility journey, and what kept us going on the road to parenthood. You may be surprised. Dustin Hoffman and Mo Farah played their part, as did Sheila, the loveliest taxi driver in the Midlands. And who could forget Paul and Anthea, our wonderful neighbours? We ponder on some sensitive and tactful things to say to IVF patients – and what not to say! Most loved ones went the extra mile for us. For that, we remain incredibly grateful.
