Thanks for doing this podcast. Answering all my questions!
I’ve honestly learned more in a few episodes of this podcast than I have in hours of searching the internet. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you Professor Chapman.
I’ve binge listened to the entire back catalogue of podcasts. It’s been very comforting to hear about the IVF journey from someone so experienced. I feel much more prepared going into our first consultant appointment in a few weeks. Thank you Prof!
Excellent podcast. To the point and answered most of the questions I had. Very much recommend. The best IVF podcast online.
I did like this podcast until Prof gave the whole “just relax and it’ll happen” spiel. Oh yes, the hysterical woman just needs to take an Ativan and relax and she too will fall pregnant. That’s why refugees and prisoners of war and rape victims fall pregnant. Because of their low levels of cortisol. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
No! If you’re having trouble getting pregnant, seek help! There could be something wrong and you’ll waste precious reproductive years “just trying to relax”.
