  • 3. Conception Story

    In episode 3, I'm talking about your future child's conception story.

    This is such a huge topic and one very close to my heart.
    How to tell?
    When to tell?
    Why it's so important to talk about your child's conception story and to normalise it.

    I also talk about the difference between your reproductive story and your child's conception story.

    If you're a parent of a donor conceived child that's trying to do their best as a mum and dad I'm sending you lots of love. This subject stays with you on the parenting journey and evolves as your child grows and their understanding develops.

    My intention as always is to help anyone out there on this journey to feel less alone and to share the nuggets of wisdom that I've picked up along the way.

    If you'd like to be a guest on my show and share your story I'd love to hear from you.

  • 2. What's invisible grief?

    Your feedback means so much [email protected]

    Be supported on your donor egg journey with the Community Membership.

    So you're on a donor egg pathway and you've had a long fertility journey to get to this point.

    Most women and couples have sadly experienced many losses on the way to get to the point of needing to use donor eggs.

    You could be experiencing cumulative grief.

    There are generally no public funerals for an ectopic pregnancy, an early miscarriage, a chemical pregnancy or a failed embryo transfer and yet the sense of loss is felt and very real.

    The grief seems invisible to everyone else and this can feel extremely isolating.

    I hope this episode offers some insights and helps anyone on this pathway to feel a little less alone.

    All of your feelings are valid.

    Sending heart felt wishes and support.

  • 1. My biggest regret.

    Your feedback means so much [email protected]

    Be supported on your donor egg journey with the Community Membership.

    In this very first episode I talk about the only regret that I have about being a donor egg mama.

    The one thing that held me back whilst navigating a donor egg pathway.

    It wasn't my body, it wasn't my finances it wasn't my donor it was my emotional health.

    The donor egg IVF journey is dominated by medical protocols and the IVF industry but who's there to loook after your emotional health?

    What emotions can trip you up and how can you best deal with them?

    Thanks for listening and see you in episode 2 :)
