In this deeply moving episode of The Worst Girl Gang Ever, we sit down with Laura, a courageous voice from a same-sex couple navigating the emotional and physical challenges of fertility treatment, IVF failure, and recurrent miscarriage.
Laura shares her powerful story – from choosing a sperm donor and enduring invasive procedures, to experiencing three missed miscarriages, including a rare identical triplet loss.
Whether you’re undergoing IUI, considering IVF embryo transfer, or seeking solidarity after pregnancy loss, Laura’s journey offers rare insights into the complexities of queer family planning. Her resilience through a harrowing four surgeries, the psychological weight of trying again, and the nuanced grief of fertility trauma will resonate with anyone who’s felt isolated in their path to parenthood.
In this episode, we discuss:
Same-sex parenting and fertility planning decisions
Choosing a sperm donor and accessing sperm banks in the UK
The emotional and financial toll of IUI vs. IVF
Subchorionic hematoma explained during early pregnancy
Coping with miscarriage after IVF
Genetic testing (PGTA) and low ovarian reserve concerns
Recurrent pregnancy loss and retained products of conception (RPOC)
Partner dynamics in LGBTQ+ fertility struggles
Transitioning roles: from genetic parent to emotional support partner
This conversation is essential listening for LGBTQ+ couples exploring fertility options, anyone navigating private fertility treatment in the UK, women experiencing recurrent miscarriage and IVF grief, supporters, partners, and healthcare professionals seeking insight into the mental toll of assisted conception
You are not alone. If you’re facing a similar battle, Laura’s story will provide the compassion, community, and clarity you need.
