Show Notes

For many couples, it’s a tough decision to make when it comes to discarding unused embryos or donating them to science. But, there’s also a third option. Giving someone the gift of life anonymously; could you do it?  On this episode, we chat to Senior Embryologist and Embryo Donation Coordinator Rachel Wicks from Pivet Medical Centre about embryo donation. From the process to the hurdles and availability; Plus, tales from Rachel’s own fertility journey too.
