S2. Ep.02 Perimenopause, Frozen Embryo Prep, ovary shut down injection, supplements and acupuncture

Update: 2025-07-20

Description

We have FINALLY booked and committed to our frozen embryo transfer cycle, I am currently on day 26 of my cycle (the cycle before our FET cycle), I took the injection on day 21 of my current cycle to shut my ovaries down to go in to a fully medicated transfer.

We talk about the realisation that I have been suffering for (likely) years with perimenopause and I have just discovered HRT and now I have to wave goodbye to it, all within the same month, so I can start my FET IVF protocol!

This is literally a hormonal rollercoaster and we are just taking things one step at a time.

Thank you for coming along with us and we hope that you enjoy the episode!

all our love, Emma and Gareth
