Becky & Ben's Fertility Spotlight

Our award-winning podcast is an honest and illuminating take on the challenges of IVF and donor conception. We're Becky and Ben Saer, fertility trailblazers on a mission. As former IVF patients, we spent years, and a small fortune, trying to conceive. We're now proud parents to two wonderful donor-conceived daughters, Ida and Coral. It was a tough journey and we're here to share everything we learned. We've supported thousands of fertility patients over the last 12 years in our day jobs as fertility treatment coordinators. Add that experience to our personal IVF struggles and you're going to hear some unique insights into the world of IVF, donor eggs and embryo adoption. Enjoy our fabulous guests, fertility tips, emotional advice, and much more. We'll help you develop a fertility mindset to survive this often gruelling road to parenthood. Our mantra? Don't despair, we'll get there. Hosted on Acast. See <a

  Can Infertility Be Funny? We Ask Comedian Kate-Lois Elliott

  Jun 4, 202635 minS3

  <p>IVF is a serious business, but can humour help? We speak to comedian, actor and writer Kate-Lois Elliott about the comedy of conception. On stage, she tackles it head-on.

We look for laughs in IVF clinics (dishy doctors and Ben’s sperm collection dilemma included). And we review how TV and films have tackled IVF and parenting choices, notably Friends, Sex & The City and Trying. (Less notably, Maybe Baby!) An honest, revelatory interview with a rising comedy star.  </p><p>                  </p><p>Official podcast website: https://ferti...

But it’s an active participant in the reproductive system, conception and pregnancy. Referencing her acclaimed book about the human body, Alive, Gabriel assesses the breast in the context of western art, asking the question: what are we really seeing? We also discuss the remarkable biology behind breastfeeding, and the reality of...
