SPOILER ALERT: After 5 years of trying for a baby, countless rounds of IVF, treatment, 18 embryos AND some life changing decisions, our daughter Rosie was born in January 2020. Along the way, there was heartache, pain, wacky diets, excitement, hope, determination, loss of faith and a lot of needles. It can be a lonely rollercoaster ride and I was struck by the fact that there was little from a male perspective and I vowed if we were successful to do start the conversation. This is a very personal story, with some difficult and uncomfortable truths.
Throughout this series we’ll go behind the curtain at the fertility clinic and meet the consultants, embryologists and team to get the low down on those tough questions, how to improve your chances, some facts on what to expect AND some money saving tips.

We tried everything. Wacky diets, rituals, natural remedies, strange looking herbs. Some things for 2 days, some things for 5 years, will we ever know what made the difference?
I delve deep into the hit, misses and maybe we found throughout the process - and look at what did and didn’t work for us. We talk to a Reflexologist and the Doctors at the Lister Hospital to get their take on alternative approach.
This includes:
*Ways to reduce stress
*Drink and nutrition
*Reflexology at Soma Therapies in North London
*Supplements, herbs and vitamins
*Alternative therapy
*Keeping a positive mindset
*And just doing your best.
