TABOO

Episode 19. When The Stars Align - The Fertility Industry


Listen Later

In this episode Fiona welcomes back Aisling to continue her fertility story after multiple IVF cycles and difficult clinic experiences. They recap earlier treatments, the discovery of lupus anticoagulant and endometrial infection, and Aisling’s move to slower, holistic support—acupuncture, herbs, immune modulation and a QTT session—to reset both body and mind.

They discuss PGT testing of frozen embryos, the emotional rollercoaster of the two-week wait, and how advocacy, taking breaks, and broader testing helped change the outcome. The episode ends on a hopeful note: Aisling is five months pregnant with a baby boy, and she shares practical advice for others on the fertility journey.
