  • Thank you so so much!

    I’ve never reviewed a podcast before but I really felt like I had to share how valuable this resource is. It’s incredibly difficult to find balanced, clear and supportive information about fertility, but Hannah does an amazing job of delivering just that. The guests are knowledgable, and Hannah has an incredible knack for asking them the exact questions I’m thinking, leaving no stone unturned. I’ve used information I’ve learned from this podcast to advocate for myself in my own fertility journey... more

  • Great content, please fix the audio

    This podcast is fantastic for those on a TTC journey. I have found it so informative and calming. However, most episodes there are serious issues with the audio, at times making it very difficult to listen.

  • Inaccurate and unhelpful information/fear mongering

    I’m genuinely shocked by the ignorance and completely inaccurate information included in the latest episode, “Common Mistakes to Avoid When You’re TTC.”

    To quote: “You don’t want [period blood] to be brown, black, like any funky colours”. It is actually very normal for periods to start and/or end with brown, black or pink blood; this would NOT be a cause for concern unless also accompanied by other, far more serious symptoms. I’m amazed that a podcast which claims to empower women in their jou... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Does Endometriosis Affect Your Fertility-10 areas to consider with Louise Collyer
Q: So would you like to unpack that idea that endometriosis does not equal infertility a little more for us?
Endometriosis increases complexity but does not mean infertility. Many women conceive naturally or with IVF even with stage four disease; the goal is to reduce the inflammatory and immune barriers and optimize endometrial receptivity.
Holding Onto Hope: From Trying To Conceive To IVF- when to make the move??
Q: So tell us, if you don't mind sharing, what made you decide to make that move to IVF?
After a year of trying month in and month out, I found it really hard and wanted to try something different. Despite being able to conceive naturally, I've realized for my mental health, IVF felt like a necessary step to take control of my fertility journey.
Starting A Family with Donor Sperm: How it works, What to consider & Next Steps.
Q: What kind of advice and recommendations do you give to people around the conversations they have once they have their children?
It's best to have early conversations using children's storybooks that help frame the discussions around donor conception appropriately as they grow.
Starting A Family with Donor Sperm: How it works, What to consider & Next Steps.
Q: What are the regulations about being a donor and testing the sperm that's given by the donors?
In the UK, the Human Fertilization Embryology Authority has regulations where donors must be screened for certain conditions and are usually over the age of 18 for sperm donation.
Starting A Family with Donor Sperm: How it works, What to consider & Next Steps.
Q: How do you even begin the process of using donor sperm?
