Fertility treatment can be a numbers game, like a cruel game of Roulette, which can, if you’re lucky, let you hit the ultimate jackpot. This is not meant to be a podcast about the miracle that is Rosie, it’s about the road Chris travelled with his partner Patricia and recognises that for many, dreams just don’t come true, but for some, they really do. It’s a very personal story, with some difficult and uncomfortable truths, expert comments, different male perspectives and facts that hopefully help anyone going through the highs and lows that Chris went through. Throughout the podcast we’ll go behind the curtain at the clinic and meet the consultants, embryologists and those who helped us through the whole process.

13) Is everything Rosie?
As fertility treatment ends, pregnancy begins... After another set back we finally get the news we have been waiting for and we are let out into the big wide world! It came as a shock leaving The Lister Clinic to go and deal with the normal pregnancy dramas that others go through. There are still lessons to be learned; this isn't a 9-month journey, this is a six years and 9-month journey, and there is a lot of anxiety and pressure that goes with "Being pregnant after fertility treatment." The final episode tells the last chapter in our story and the miracle that is now our daughter Rosie. I talk through some tips on how to get you through this final exciting, but stressful stage. *The importance of hope and never giving up *Facts around bleeding in pregnancy *What to do if you are still on your own personal journey A bonus montage right at the end. Keep listening! A shout out to all those that made this journey and podcast possible Thank you for listening, this has been series 1 of IVFDAD, stay healthy, stay positive and remember, it only takes one.

12) The last throw of the dice.
What do you do when you think that you are at the end of the Fertility Road and you have one last throw of the dice? In this episode Trish and I took the hard decision to put our fertility treatment on hold and recharge our batteries. We had one "good" embryo and we put it in the freezer. We get married, come back and go again but nothing goes according to plan. We were running out of time and cash, but remember "It only takes one." *How do you decide when enough is enough or when to carry on? *Reflections from Dr Alison Taylor on tough conversations and miracles *Top Tips for Embryo Transfer day. *Managing expectations with your best mate and family. *What does a pregnancy test actually measure?

11) Superstitions, diets and belief in anything
We tried everything. Wacky diets, rituals, natural remedies, strange looking herbs. Some things for 2 days, some things for 5 years, will we ever know what made the difference? I delve deep into the hit, misses and maybe we found throughout the process - and look at what did and didn’t work for us. We talk to a Reflexologist and the Doctors at the Lister Hospital to get their take on alternative approach. This includes: *Ways to reduce stress *Drink and nutrition *Reflexology at Soma Therapies in North London *Supplements, herbs and vitamins *Alternative therapy *Keeping a positive mindset *And just doing your best.
