This week is National Fertility Awareness week (2nd - 6th November) and today we're chatting to Jacky Maughan a hairy lad from Durham (his words, not ours) 
We chat about male infertility, sperm DNA fragmentation, how fertility affects relationships and what advice Jacky wishes he and his partner Eleanor had when they started on their TTC journey 5 years ago. 
The book Jacky mentions in this episode is called 'Your Nuts' By Michael Carroll and can be found in waterstones (along with, we're sure, many other places!) 
Jacky himself can be found on IG here and Aloomah, the community that he and Eleanor have created can be found here.

This week we speak to Louise, the founder of Little Forget me Nots Trust https://littleforgetmenotstrust.com/ a charity based in Northern Ireland. Louise shares her own journey through grief after the loss of her son, Reuben. 
She discusses the challenges of navigating pregnancy after loss, the importance of creativity in healing, and her role as a funeral director. Louise emphasizes the need for open conversations about grief and the support Little Forget me Nots trust offers. 
It's an empowering and inspiring conversation this week, one that we think will resonate with many.

This week we chatted to Melissa, Founder and creator of Sibyl, an app for pregnancy loss. 
Melissa was hurt by the fact that, when she miscarried, she simply reported it on her pregnancy app and went 'back to the start' with cycle tracking, waiting for her period to come, no advice, no sympathy and no insights. 
Passionate about how after care 'should' look, she created Sibyl - available on apple now (but if you have an android phone, she has encouraged you to contact her through the website!) 
Other than that, we have a real chat, and a laugh about the Dutch word for shopping trolley. 
This is a great, animated episode - one for the way to work perhaps. 

Sending all our love, always
