We Lost Everything Trying to Have a Baby | How IVF, Healing & Hard Truths Saved Us - Jacky & Eleanor
About this episode
Jacky and Eleanor share their emotional journey through infertility, discussing the challenges they faced and how they overcame them to create a supportive community.
In this deeply emotional and brutally honest episode, Tatiana sits down with married couple Jacky & Eleanor to explore their five-year battle to start a family: three miscarriages, three rounds of IVF, DNA fragmentation, surgery, over £50k spent, and the miracle pregnancy that finally changed everything. From Jacky's past as a world-touring DJ fuelled by drugs, alcohol and afterparties, to the moment he realised he had to rebuild his entire life to become a father, this conversation goes far beyond fertility touching on love, addiction, shame, sex, resilience and staying together when everything keeps falling apart. Eleanor opens up about chemical pregnancies, being hospitalised from fertility medication, discovering PCOS and immune issues years into their journey, and the silent heartbreak of watching everyone else’s baby announcements while grieving her own losses. Together, they share how everything they endured inspired them to create Aloomah Fertility an online fertility community and podcast supporting both partners, especially men who are so often overlooked in infertility conversations.
