S5 E2. Kat's Story! PCOS, TTC as a same sex couple, Choosing a Donor, Home Insemination, Miscarriage, Success with Two Children

Infertility Sisters

Today I am joined by Kat, who I went to high school with! She talks us through her personal women's health journey, her first marriage and then her TTC journey with her wife, which has resulted in their beautiful children.
Today's episode covers;

• Missing periods
• TTC journey in first marriage
• PCOS diagnosis
• Tumor in her uterus
• Lichen Sclerosus
• Deciding to have children when in a same sex relationship
• Finding a sperm donor
• Miscarriages
• Common misconceptions and questions around how same sex couples have children
• Legalities
• Maternity leave
• Toxic positivity

This is our first same sex TTC chat and it's a goodie. There is still so much to learn in this space, especially for those of us who are in heterosexual relationships. And at the same time there are also a lot of similarities between Kat's story and where we are personally with our journey.
Thanks so much for being an open book Kat!
