Genevieve Thurley is a busy woman, what with her 1 million followers and career as a makeup artist and content creator. But today, she's making time to talk to us about her experiences of infertility and IVF. Trigger warning: this episode covers Thurley's jourrrrney all the way until its conclusion - ie. giving birth. If you're not ready to listen yet, don't! Or stop at the first ad break, which is when she starts discussing pregnancy and birth in earnest. We've also got Ed Coats, medical director at The Evewell West London, talking about natural killer cells -- what's the deal with them? -- Hi, we're Emma and Gabby from BFN, the UK's biggest podcast about infertility and IVF. We're on our eighth series now, but at the beginning we shared our own IVF journeys. If you'd like to hear about them, go back to the first series of the podcast. You'll get to know us better that way, too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
