Figuring It Out

Pt 2: Melissa Hemsley on IVF, miscarriage and pregnancy


Listen Later

Trigger warning: this episode discusses miscarriage 

In part 2, Melissa opens up about her pregnancy, and all the struggles she faced with her fertility. She shares how her miscarriage deeply affected her mental health, the problematic language often found in that conversation, and how it eventually led to her ADHD diagnosis. 

However, Melissa has also learnt to cherish the good days through the people she’s met on this journey, and candidly discusses her experiences of conceiving through IVF.
