This bonus show is the sister episode to the previously released “My fertility journey: What I wish I’d known”. Featuring GP and IVF mum, Dr Stephanie Ooi, it answers practical questions surrounding the subject – all of them sent in by Taboo Talk listeners. Dr Stephanie debunks myths and delivers advice on fertility-related worries and queries surrounding age, IVF, egg freezing, lifestyle factors, genetics, hormonal contraceptives, PCOS, endometriosis, and even the Covid vaccine. Remember: we ask the questions, so you don’t have to.

Please be aware that this bonus episode includes discussions of fertility issues that some listeners may find upsetting. If you are affected by what you hear, and would like further information on available support, please see the list of resources below.
