TRIGGER WARNING - THIS EPISODE DISCUSSED SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY OUTCOMES

On today's episode we meet the lovely Kate. At the young age of 25, she was told that she was going into early menopause, that she had a very low ovarian reserve, and that her chances of parenthood were, to be honest, incredibly slim.

She candidly discusses how this affected her, as well as the people around her. She was lucky to have incredible support and she and her partner Jack (shout out to jack tbh) are seriously couple goals.

Her diagnosis meant she had to navigate something she never expected, before she was truly ready for it. Her attitude is refreshing to say the least and while our chat is really lighthearted, it is clear that this was an incredibly difficult time in her life.

She appreciates how blessed she is to have successfully gone on to have two children, but wants to bring awareness to the fact that young women, can... and do, experience early menopause.

This week Dr Ray is back to discuss if the flu or a cold can influence an embryo transfer :)
