S3 EP09 Helen's instant family
"We found a different way to have a family." Helen talks about why she didn't want IVF after struggling to conceive and chose to adopt instead.
In this podcast Amanda White and Natalie Glanvill talk through their struggles tying to conceive and hear from others talking honestly and openly about their fertility challenges in a podcast with both hope and despair in equal measure.
In this week's episode, after unexplained fertility and knowing her chances of IVF being a success at the age of 40 were low, Helen and her husband decided to adopt.
"It seemed to be a desperate act to do IVF and I felt that I was sort of saying my genes are more important than someone else's genes...I just thought there are all these kids out there that already exist."
