Description:

Jen writes a blog called Hoping TTC

and we met online after I saw her tweeting about starting a Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) and I wanted her to share her story. You'll hear Jen shares the sad truths about how she felt the clinic showed a lack of compassion in how her and husband have been treated, how they didn't explain different scenarios properly to the pair, leaving them extremely anxious at times. 

Jen also talks about her cycles having to be abandoned, which might be something that has happened before, but not something I've heard of. It highlights how essential it is to try and remember to ask questions when you are in front of an expert rather than going home wondering what the outcome might be and spending the time between your next appointment fretting. 

I've spoken to a wide range of clinicians and fertility nurses and they always highlight how no questions is a stupid one. Also don't be afraid to challenge your clinic. When Jen was told there was nothing she could do to improve the lining of her uterus, she knew from the Emma Cannon book she was reading that there was lots of changes she cold make to her diet, to at least give her best chances possible of a successful outcome.
