After 6 years of trying, we are SO happy to bring you a podcast episode to announce that we are finally pregnant! We bring you up to date from the last unsuccessful attempt, covering a cancelled cycle, a missing period, a surrogacy offer and a third (successful) embryo transfer.
We hope to continue to spread the awareness of fertility treatments, break the stigma and give hope to those of you who are on your own journey to conception and beyond.
We hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to episode 23!

In this episode, we talk about lots of random things, perhaps not so directly linked to fitness and finance as other episodes! 

We discuss the trend that is cold water therapy and Jovin reflects on their impact on past panic attacks and also sports performance whilst playing rugby for England. We ask whether they are necessary for good health or just beneficial for some people.

Jovin also gets some frustrations out - he gives his opinion on the rugby tackle rule change that has sparked some serious controversy in the rugby world.

Some reflections on Jovin's recent birthday prompts Serene to start a discussion around birthdays and gift-giving more generally.

In this episode, Jovin & Serene talk about their second embryo transfer and the outcome. They highlight the differences that they experienced between an NHS & private procedure.

If you are going through IVF or know somebody that is, this would be a good episode to dip into as it gives some insight into the embryo transfer procedure and the rollercoaster of emotion that is fertility treatment  💜

In this episode, we talk through the process of our second round of IVF in London. We share what the experience like was for us from the first consultation appointment through egg collection and the doctors advice that followed.  The thing about fertility treatment is that it really is a rollercoaster ride because there are so many unknowns. Hopefully our journey  can give some reassurance for those that need it.
