Our guest today is Dr Caroline Fiddler, a medical doctor and new mother to baby Alice who was conceived via IVF.
IVF can be overwhelming and keeping track of appointments, self-injections, procedures etc only adds to this.
So, Caroline developed the CycleGuide App during treatment to keep track of treatment instructions on her phone.
It helped her stay organised, feel more in control and gave her some peace of mind during treatment.

So should I freeze my eggs or shouldn’t I?
This is a very personal question.
What will having frozen eggs mean to you?
How likely are you to use your eggs later?
Could having a baby now be an option you would ever consider?
What are the factors here?
How much is the cost of eggs freezing a burden to your current goals versus the opportunity cost of taking no action?Resources:

Over 10 years in the making, there is now Medicare funding towards preconception genetic testing. Our discussion includes
What is preconception genetic screening? Who is a recessive genetic carrier? (tl:dr we all are) How could I be a carrier for a serious genetic condition and yet not be aware of it through my family history? Why has there not been a Medicare rebate before? When will the new Medicare rebate apply from? What will this mean in terms of choosing a genetic screening test? What is achieved by the panel funded for CF/SMA and Fragile X? What about the Ashkenazi Jewish screening panel and why is that separate? Why should I consider putting my rebate towards expanded panel screening options? Results are relevant to a reproductive relationship - what does that mean?Find us on Instagram - @knockeduppodcast
