After falling out with our podcast equipment we finally get it to work to chat about the taboos of fertility and infertility, in particular, Secondary and Male Infertility.
With more and more people experiencing issues with their fertility why is it not spoken about more? Why is our fertility still a taboo subject? Why are we not being represented in mainstream media?
We would love to hear your thoughts on this topic!
Head over to www.youmeand.co.uk or @thettcmummy / @thettcdaddy on instagram to join the discussion!

In this episode we talk a lot about our son in regards to him starting pre-school, so if you're not in the right mind frame, don't listen :)!
We discuss this in relation to us going through Secondary Infertility right now and the thoughts and feelings we are having.
Will this be the first and last time we ever have a first school drop off? Are those baby and toddler years the last time we will ever get to experience them?
