Big Fat Negative: Ttc, Fertility, Infertility And Ivf

It's been a relatively dramatic week for both Gabby and Emma, fertility-wise - but they've also had Cat Strawbridge, aka @tryingyears in the studio. They talk about why social media is helping people speak out about infertility and how to stop IVF destroying your confidence. Professor Tim Child also sheds light on the ultimate fertility rumour - that eating a pineapple can help you conceive. Mild swears throughout.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week Gabby and Emma share updates on their cycles, then we go back to basics, asking Anya Sizer from the Fertility Network everything you ever wanted to know about infertility and IVF, but were afraid to ask. We're also chatting to Professor Tim from Oxford Fertility about the efficacy of acupuncture. Old wives' tale, or legit treatment? Contains the old mild swear, and an f-bomb right at the end.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

BFN is the podcast about infertility, IVF and the trials of trying for a baby. Journalists Emma and Gabby explain why they've decided to start a podcast, then come over all Californian as they talk you through their 'journeys' in infertility so far. We've also got Professor Tim Child, Oxford Fertility, telling us about the science behind the old wives' tale that raspberry leaf tea will help you conceive. NB. This episode was recorded back in June - and contains some mild swears.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
