How Mel Got Pregnant After Being Told She Needed Donor Eggs

In this episode of Trying to Be Positive, Anne sits down with Mel to share her story of being told she would need donor eggs to conceive only to get pregnant naturally after finding the right support and answers.

From the shock of a fertility misdiagnosis to the emotional weight of being told “it’s not going to happen,” Mel’s journey is one of reclaiming hope, finding clarity, and trusting her body again. Anne and Mel explore what happens when medical advice feels defeating, the importance of second opinions, and how simple shifts in care and understanding can change everything.
