Our very first guest Kate joins the show to talk about secondary infertility and hers and her husband's journey for a second child in her early 40's.  Kate thought all of her dreams of another child had been shattered by the start of the big M but then someone mentioned egg donors and a week's holiday abroad and off they went, on their quest to make it happen.  If you'd like to ask Kate a question, please DM us or email [email protected] and we'll put you in touch.
