- So Helpful
I recently had a very discouraging moment with my IVF treatment and really needed someone who understands. I found this podcast, and it’s just been so comforting and normalizing to hear about others’ similar experiences.

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!

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!
