Misconception

This week we’re talking to Emma Haslam. After finding out her and her husband, Adam, needed IVF to conceive, and facing numerous hurdles in both the NHS and private fertility sector, as well as challenges on the route to adoption, Emma and Adam opted to travel abroad and undergo IVF with 'double donation'. Double donation in IVF involves the use of donor eggs and donor sperm. Join us as Emma talks us through the process, the set backs they faced, and her feelings now since the birth of her son.

This week we’re talking to Kreena Dhiman. After being diagnosed with breast cancer, Kreena went through IVF to freeze her embryos prior to chemotherapy. But what followed was a journey she never expected to embark on. From heart failure to surrogacy, Kreena's story is both so moving and so inspiring, that we've split it into two parts. In part 2, Kreena talks about how after the loss of her embryos, she embarked on a donor egg journey, how the lack of South Asian egg donors had an impact, and her search for a new surrogate.
