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. 8 - Anna's Story - Cancer & Male Factor Infertility, Unexplained Infertility & throwing everything at it!
This week, I speak to Anna about the obstacles she and her partner Charles have had to overcome. First, Charles' life altering cancer diagnosis, and the subsequent fertility pathway they have been on.
She shares the effect her unexplained infertility, and the whole fertility treatment rollercoaster, has had on her mental health and wellbeing.
She discusses the different treatments she has undergone - including a hycosy, intralipid therapy and immune protocol - among others, and stresses the need to talk about your experiences with someone.
We laugh, we cry and overall we have a really great time.
Warning: We do use the word vagina quite a bit :)
TRIGGER WARNING: We discuss early pregnancy loss in this episode.
No Dr Ray this week, he'll be back next week, don't worry.
Episode 8 recorded and produced by Kristy Saunders
