In this episode, Charlie is joined by embryologist Jessica Manns, who practices out of Radiance Fertility Clinic, Western Pennsylvania's only private fertility practice. She is also a massive advocate for wanting to help people further understand IVF and everything surrounding it.
They discuss the complications that both men and women face when starting chemotherapy and the prospect of being left infertile post treatment. The options they then have to hand should they want to explore starting a family post treatment.

Cryopreservation of sperm and eggs and what is involved. As well as a detailed discussion about IVF including the process, side effects and over-riding costs.

And whilst IVF can be one option to explore, there are also other alternatives including surrogacy. Something that Jessica is now more than familiar with, as she is currently 36 weeks pregnant with another couples child.

Chemotherapy can leave you infertile but that doesn't mean to say you can't start a family. This episode is for anyone looking for that reassurance and for those who might be considering IVF.
