Today's chat with Jess and Cerys was really fun and enlightening. They are a gay couple from the UK that are going through IVF to conceive. We chatted about sexual education, the lack of the human touch and inclusivity in the material we learn in school. They also shared how they experience has been in choosing a Fertility Clinic that worked well with same-sex couples and met their expectations. It was so interesting to hear from them what are the hurdles they're going through in this journey. Have fun listening to these amazing humans!

Today we reflect on recent events, including George Floyd's Trial verdict, racism in the medical system and Fertility treatment world. How changing plans makes feel and how ultimately, missing one week of the podcast makes ZERO difference in the big scheme of things. The reading of the blog post is about when the doctor told me I couldn't conceive naturally, how that made me feel and how I ultimately pulled through after that awful appointment. It was a day that marked my life forever and it affected not just me and my husband but those around us.
