  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PCOS (PMOS) & Fertility: What You Need to Know About Ovulation Induction & IVF
Q: Which is better for PMOS, Clomid or Letrozole?
Letrozole is often preferred in PMOS due to gentler effects on the endometrium and easier dose adjustments, though the choice should be individualized.
PCOS (PMOS) & Fertility: What You Need to Know About Ovulation Induction & IVF
Q: And is ovulation induction the first port of call?
Yes, for many patients with PMOS it should be the first option, provided there is proper cycle monitoring (blood tests and ultrasounds) to tailor the dose and timing.
Why Good Embryo's Don't Implant- with Emma The Embryologist
Q: How do NHS restrictions affect decisions around PGTA and testing?
NHS cycles typically do not fund PGTA during fresh cycles, but embryos can be frozen and tested later if the patient can pay for PGTA testing through a clinic, allowing subsequent euploid transfers.
Why Good Embryo's Don't Implant- with Emma The Embryologist
Q: What exactly do we mean by a 'good' embryo at different stages?
A 'good' embryo can refer to day-3 quality, its progression to a robust blastocyst, and genetic normality. The definition evolves as we consider cell divisions, expansion, and the embryo's ability to reach blastocyst, with each stage carrying different implications for implantation.
What You Need To Know About Supplements For Male Fertility.
Q: If there were one supplement that you would say every man should be on, or that we universally think we all need, what would it be?
Vitamin D is often important to test for and correct if deficient; omega-3s are useful in many people, but blanket high-dose supplementation is not necessary if the diet is good.
