Episode 2: Alexa’s Story: Egg Donation, and Uncovering More Than She Expected


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of Season 3, Becky and Hayley are joined by Alexa, a Canadian based mum whose journey to parenthood through known egg donation is full of unexpected twists, turns and emotional complexity.

Alexa shares her experience of navigating fertility treatment with honesty, offering a window into the emotional and practical realities of building a family through egg donation. She offers thoughtful advice and heartfelt insight for would-be parents considering donor conception, speaking with frankness, warmth, and compassionate reflection. Alexa and her husband are now parents to a beautiful baby boy, but the road to get there was far from simple, with some VERY unexpected twists along the way.

Later in the episode, UK family law solicitor Anest Mathias from TV Edwards Solicitors returns to offer expert legal insight, this time focusing on the rights of donor conceived people in the UK, a vital area for anyone thinking about the long-term impact of their family building decisions.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore donor conception, in the thick of the journey, or supporting others through it, this episode is for you.

Mentions in the episode: Dani Shapiro’s memoir ‘Inheritance’.
