Against All Odds

Welcome back to “The Power of Choice” we are in the first series, which is all about fertility and babymaking. In this episode, Gerad introduces two guests who defied the odds to become parents, sharing their stories of soul-searching and strategic decision-making. David, alongside his husband, recounts their journey through egg donation and surrogacy, emphasising the determination to overcome challenges and honour personal histories. Our second guest, Sara discusses her physical and mental transformation under the care of our host Gerad Kite, and the unexpected conversation that led to exploring assisted fertility options. The episode concludes with an insightful discussion with Emma Kafton, Patient Services Director at the Evewell Clinic in London, shedding light on the role of professionals in influencing patients' choices and the close bonds formed in the journey of making babies. The importance of the right support, both personal and professional, emerges as a central theme throughout the episode.
