  • My new IVF BFFS’s

    It’s like they heard me saying to myself “I wish I had a girl group to chat through this stuff with”. I’m only at the start of this journey but this podcast and these ladies are the tonic I needed today.

  • Very informative & well worth a listen

    So glad I found this podcast. Catherine and Sian have helped me through my IVF “journey” by informing me on the process and what to expect, I definitely found out way more information from them than I did my clinic. I loved the pod so much that I am actually listening to it a second time. Thank you both so much for sharing your stories, you are amazing and have helped so many of us through a really scary and challenging time. Big love to you all x

  • More honesty post positive IVF results

    I’m like this podcast and it’s been super helpful as I’m currently on my IVF journey. I do think there is a lot of overthinking and at the end of the day the whole point of IVF is to get a positive pregnancy test and ultimately a baby at the end, people want to hear about being on the other side. I feel that if someone is going through a much different harder journey of IVF they probably aren’t going to listen to this podcast, honestly. Share more of your journeys post IVF, we want to know what ... more

  • Thank you🥰

    I love this podcast, it’s so honest and doesn’t shy away from the parts of IVF that no one talks about, and all the feelings that go with it. It’s been such a comfort through some really tough times and it feels like I have a couple of friends with me on my way to and from the clinic. It’s such a brave thing for you both to share your stories in real time and I wish you both all the very best with everything yet to come❤️

    Love the podcast, but I think it’ll be nice to hear from Sian a bit more, and how she’s doing with pregnancy how far along she is etc, it’s nice to have a happy ending, gives hope for us who are still in the thick of infertility
