A Little Miss Conception - Infertility Awareness
A podcast about the trials and tribulations of trying to conceive, and the struggles to start, or complete our families. Host, Kristy Saunders, speaks with real women, and men, who are affected by infertility. Some who have been able to achieve their dream of becoming parents, and also some who have not. It is an honest, warm and respectful space to share and learn.
Each week we hear from either professionals in the fertility space, or real people, like you and me, who are sharing their stories, in the hopes that we can help others who are on this journey.
There will be laughs, there will be tears, and hopefully a lot of useful information. Happy listening!

Ep 6 - Kristy Update + All things Genetic Testing with Dr Kara Levin
This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Genetic Scientist, Dr Kara Levin, to discuss all things genes, and most importantly, genetic testing, with regards to fertility treatments.
She breaks down genetic science in a really easy to understand way, and runs us through the different types of genetic testing that is offered (PGT-A, PGT-M & PGT-SR) and why these different types would be utilized.
We also discuss a few very interesting topics like, what do we do with our unused embryo's? And what is a mosaic embryo?.. among others.
I also took the opportunity to give everyone a little update on a small part of our journey. This update was recorded some time ago, but sharing with you now, and it was the perfect opportunity to ask some very top of mind questions, which can hopefully help anyone else going through something similar.
Stick around to the end to hear this weeks 'Ask Dr Ray' segment, where we ask the age old question - can we test at home after embryo transfer... or should we sit tight and wait?
Episode 6 recorded and produced by Kristy Saunders.
