S2. Ep.02 Perimenopause, Frozen Embryo Prep, ovary shut down injection, supplements and acupuncture
We have FINALLY booked and committed to our frozen embryo transfer cycle, I am currently on day 26 of my cycle (the cycle before our FET cycle), I took the injection on day 21 of my current cycle to shut my ovaries down to go in to a fully medicated transfer. We talk about the realisation that I have been suffering for (likely) years with perimenopause and I have just discovered HRT and now I have to wave goodbye to it, all within the same month, so I can start my FET IVF protocol!This is literally a hormonal rollercoaster and we are just taking things one step at a time. Thank you for coming along with us and we hope that you enjoy the episode!all our love, Emma and GarethFind daily updates on my instagram https://www.instagram.com/emmakbelle

So, as many of you know (if you follow me on social media) we have had a very unexpected spontaneous pregnancy test and I am currently nearing 12 weeks pregnant. This episode we talk about what has been going on for us since we found out, how we found out and how we have been feeling navigating pregnancy after loss/termination for medical reasons. We hope that by sharing this next very unexpected chapter of our fertility journey this may help others who also find themselves navigating pregnancy after loss. Please, if you are not in the space to be hearing conversation about pregnancy, skip past this episode and protect your heart.Thank you as always for listening and let us know your thoughts on the episode.
