Today's episode is with mum of two, Gemma Sanders. she takes us through what it was like to have no complications naturally conceiving her first son, Max, but then she and her husband, Ev experienced unexplained secondary infertility, they had two miscarriages, and eventually chose to undergo IVF to have their second son, Jasper.

This episode is a reminder that you just don’t know – no one knows - how quickly or how long it could take to conceive, whether it’s your first pregnancy or a subsequent one. I have no doubt that in Gemma bravely sharing her very personal story with you today, this episode will shift perspectives on what we think we know infertility to be.
