Jellie are back with a personal episode to mark World Infertility Awareness Month and the due date of the baby they lost as a result of a biochemical pregnancy following their final IVF cycle in October last year.
In our latest podcast ep, we're joined by Dr. Geeta Nargund, Lead Consultant for Reproductive Medicine at St. George's Hospital, London and Medical Director of CREATE Fertility.
We ask Dr. Nargund to explain the differences between conventional IVF/ICSI, natural IVF and Mild IVF and how the costs and success rates compare. We talk through the pros and cons of natural and milk IVF and ask why all clinics aren't offering this method of treatment.We welcome experienced clinical embryologist Victoria Wigley to the show to discuss the role that embryologists play when it comes to their patients. Victoria tells us all about her new independent embryology consultation service, ‘All About Embryology’, set up to support and advise patients going through fertility treatment, and shares key pieces of advice for couples starting out on their journey.
An insightful episode into how embryologists work, and a must-listen for couples going through treatment. Show notes: You can contact Victoria via her website: All About Embryology and follow her on Facebook and Instagram.

Kat experienced an ovarian cancer scare at 27 years old and had a rugby-ball-sized cyst removed that also led to the removal of her right ovary.
She went on to have her first son naturally, but after finding a second cyst, it made trying for a second child almost impossible.
It was then Kat and her husband decided to go down the IVF route to try for their second baby... Find out how they got on in this episode.

Have you ever pictured where and how your embryos are actually stored?
We're joined by two guests from TMRW Life Sciences, IVF mum and CEO Tara Comonte and embryologist and Vice President of Clinical Strategy and Specimen Services, Cynthia Hudson for an eye-opening episode about the realities of life on the other side of IVF. TMRW Life Sciences have pioneered the world's first and only automated platform for the safe management, identification and storage of frozen human eggs and embryos - and when you realise exactly what goes on at the very centre of the IVF process, you'll wonder why this sort of tech isn't already in place. A must-listen for anybody starting or undergoing treatment, to help you be completely informed about your choices. Contact: [email protected]. Follow Jellie on Instagram and Facebook.
