Holding Onto Hope
(this episode is about baby loss)
In this episode I am with Anita -Mai Barette. Anita shares her journey through grief, motherhood after loss, and her inspiring marathon fundraising for Evelina Hospital in memory of her son Dylan.
Dylan passed away on Christmas Eve 2020 after just 37 days. To celebrate his 6th birthday and to continue his legacy, Anita is running the London Marathon 2026 in his honour and is raising vital funds for the Evelina Children's Hospital, who provided such great care for herself, her husband and Dylan.

I am with expert ultrasound specialist Bill Smith from Clinical Diagnostic Services, who shares his extensive experience in reproductive medicine, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive cycle monitoring for fertility.

Cycle monitoring can help support couple TTC who don't want to go down the route of IVF and can help those with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis to investigate further and find better support and diagnosis for their fertility.

We discuss:

Key Topics
What are the advanced ultrasound technology in fertility
What is the comprehensive cycle monitoring process and how it differs from one off scans
The diagnosis and management of adenomyosis and endometriosis
The role of progesterone in luteal phase support
The importance of detailed diagnostics before IVF
