S1. Ep.05 Starting Stims, running the covid gauntlet, fertility Acupuncture and fighting with pomegranates

Update: 2021-12-30

Description

We are in the UK now and stims has started.

We talk about the emotional wobbles during this round so far, running the Covid gauntlet from Dubai to the UK, fighting with pomegranates and how the scans have gone so far.

We also talk numbers and how to be aware of managing expectations on the numbers of eggs vs usable embryos and how they decrease at the different stages of the IVF process.

Thank you as always for listening and let us know your thoughts on the episode. You can always leave us a message or ask a question using the message button in the shownotes (available on Spotify, Apple and Anchor podcasts)
