Episode 77: Raine Holcombe (Part 2)

This week, I'm thrilled to welcome back Raine Holcombe. Raine shared her incredible struggle with fertility back on Episode 28. It was a heartbreaking journey that took them across the country for treatments, thousands of kilometres away from their remote cattle station in the northern territory. Finally, there was a breakthrough, and an undiagnosed rare genetic condition was discovered. Both Raine and Potter carry the same DQ alpha gene, which causes an embryo to self-abort. They had one option left; a rare treatment in Melbourne... And it worked! Six months ago they welcome a beautiful, healthy baby girl. It was very special to chat to Raine again, and this time, we pick things up from her pregnancy and beyond.SPONSOR: Every family deserves access to quality health care and support; regardless of their location.
