JOIN US LIVE IN EDINBURGH ON 3RD SEPTEMBER - Head to SIDTLive.com for more information and to purchase tickets.Today - we’re discussing a topic that’s deeply personal, sometimes overwhelming and often very difficult to talk about: fertility. We are joined by an incredible guest - Mr Ali Al Chami - a leading fertility doctor and the medical director of the Avenues fertility clinic in London. We asked you on Instagram for your questions for Ali - when is the right time to freeze your eggs? Could taking Ozempic or a GLP-1 help you to get pregnant? How can our lifestyles affect our fertility? We asked Ali all of those questions - and many more - to attempt to demystify fertility. Whether you're actively going through treatment, thinking about your future, or just want to better understand the emotional and medical realities of fertility... we hope this episode is a useful tool.

This week on Should I Delete That, we’re talking about sex. Our guest is Catriona Boffard: clinical psychosexologist, psychotherapist and globally recognised expert on sex and relationships. She’s here to help us understand the real reasons why so many of us often struggle with intimacy - and she explains that it’s often not *just* about sex. With your questions in hand, in this episode we cover everything from orgasms and libido to shame, pleasure and desire.
