Available for over a year

Trying to conceive should be a happy time but for couples struggling with infertility it can be a monthly rollercoaster of emotions. There's the pressure of having sex at certain times and then there's the dreaded 'Two Week Wait' after IVF to find out if you're pregnant. We hear what it’s like to keep trying for a baby for years and having to go through that two week waiting period repetitively. Jane Garvey speaks to podcaster Izzy Judd and writer Katy Linedmann who've both experienced the highs and lows first hand.
