HELLO!

Well, it has been a little quiet on the posting side on The Fertility Podcast which I can only apologize for. Despite my best-laid plans of being organized to keep my podcasts and posts rolling out so that when I had my baby things would run smoothly..  I didn't manage it! I was 41 weeks before our son Phoenix arrived and bouncing up and down on a ball due to bad sciatic pain and trying to edit - just wasn't happening.. then he arrived and I've been a bit busy. Now, however, we're all getting better with naps, so hopefully, The Fertility Podcast will return to being bi-weekly. Here is a much-awaited chat I had with a lovely lady called Sheila Lamb who you will hear gets upset telling her story about finally getting pregnant after various different infertility treatments. I and Sheila are both success stories and I hope if you're reading this whilst on a journey to conceive this will give you hope.
