On my fourth month of trying and so happy to have this to listen to during the two week wait. Just super comforting and wonderful - all I want to speak about is ttc but don’t want to overwhelm my friends or husband and this podcast really soothes that craving! Without losing me any friends!

Australia5 months ago - Such a winner.
This podcast is very good. I’m so appreciative of Emma and Gabby! Their honest, humour, vulnerability, and swears combine to make a great podcast for everyone living through infertility or those who want to understand infertility better to be able to support others. I started listening when they were still recording live and am now starting from the beginning. Thank you, Gabby and Emma!
