IVF, miscarriage, egg donation and losing a sister with Felicity

In this episode I chat with Felicity who shares her story of infertiliy, IVF, multiple miscarriages and D&C's, egg donation, embryo testing and very sadly losing her young sister.

Felicity was diagnosed with low ovarian reserve and endometriosis and she and her husband did multiple rounds of IVF resulting in no pregancy or miscarriage.
They tested embryos from two of their cycles to try to help their decision making and increase their chances.
Felicity also discovered she has Graves disease which is a thyroid condition and needed to suspend IVF treatment until that was sorted.
Further into their treatment they used donor eggs from Felicity's sister which resulted in no embryos to transfer and subsequently had a cousin lined up to be another egg donor.
In the end they have had three beautiful children from their own genetics with the help of IVF and embryo testing.
Felicity's sister Lucy became very unwell and died at the beginning of their journey and Felicity did all this while grieving her little sister xx
