Lauras IVF Journey: Known donor, Unsuccessful Home Insemination, Successful Second IUI, RIVF
Laura shares her and her wife Georgies fertility journey to their little boy Rupert. Laura initially opens up about her journey in discovering her sexuality and how it led her to her now wife Georgie. For their fertility journey, she speaks on how anonymous sperm donation did not align with their family building goals due to previous family history. Laura shares their journey with a known donor and how they navigated that alongside a fertility clinic. In this episode she discusses in detail the known donor world, their unsuccessful home insemination and everything surrounding what was involved in that and then onto their (surprise) successful IUI on their second attempt. Laura explains all of these topics so beautifully and in so much detail, she also touches on their discussions around RIVF for their second baby and the journey they're about to embark on with that.
