from ’The Infertility Gal’ Podcast · host danielleconrad19

In this episode Dani and her partner Phil share their first joint NHS fertility appointment on 24 December 2024, meeting a gynaecologist and urologist to explore ICSI after private testing. The consultants discuss Phil’s very low sperm count, possible sperm collection or surgical retrieval, Dani’s PCOS and the positive effects of metformin, and the pathway to NHS funding for one ICSI attempt. The episode captures the emotional highs and uncertainty of starting IVF, next steps including a private sperm collection, an open evening, and the couple’s plans moving forward.   The Infertility Gal website: www.theinfertilitygal.co.uk    If you are curious about how Proov can help you to test for your PdG levels or ovulation within your cycle then check out my affiliate link for 15% off at:  https://proovtest.com/THEINFERTILITYGAL Code: THEINFERTILITYGAL   The latest research continues to be poured into the Hertility products and leading diagnostic tools are utilised to guide the experts to analyse your test results.   If you are interested in purchasing your own hormone testing kit from Hertility consider using my affiliate link:   https://hertilityhealth.com/hormone-and-fertility-testing?source=aw&utm_source=awin&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=2814396&utm_content=Social+Content&aw_affid=2814396&awc=47085_1774444174_04ee13e0e8c6bc4b3f7f48bff7cf8586   Hertility Code: TIG10 for 10% off any order over £249
