Kelly and Louise decided it was time they found out some answers about the realities of freezing eggs, however eye rolling inducing it is for Louise to be asked that question. They are joined by an expert in fertility to fill in the gaps, do some myth busting and well, to help educate us in general.

Dr. Karolina Skorupskaite Carlyle is based in Edinburgh and set up her private clinic Genus Medical Fertility to deliver more personalised fertility care with All-In-One Fertility Health Assessments.

She is also a Consultant in Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecology at NHS Greater Glasgow and ClydeDr Karolina has made significant contributions to the field of reproductive medicine. With a background in clinical practice and research. Her work has contributed to the University of Edinburgh receiving The Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education award for innovations in women’s health.

Louise shares her age-related fertility concerns with Dr Karolina who offers some very practical and useful advice for those in a similar situation. Both Kelly and Louise are surprised with some of what Dr Karolina has to share, which you may be surprised leads to chat around turkey basters.

The useful websites Dr Karolina suggests are;

Making bad decisions like moving to the other side of the world for someone or moving in together too quickly is a brutal way to learn about love - we are not immune. In this episode, we share some bad mistakes, heartache and the hard lessons we learnt.

“If it has to happen, baby do you want to know?” is the question Lily Allen has to contend with in her new album ‘West End Girl’ so of course we had to discuss the album's impact and moments of relatability.

We also get to some of your annoying questions and comments that you’ve had and sent in. And blimey! Thank you for those. Please continue to send them on instagram or email and we will discuss them on the pod (it can be anonymous).

We found the speech Louise remembered during our chat about a wife's excuses not to get intimate - watch for yourselves here:

Louise has become an auntie for the first time and it’s brought into sharp focus this new role and how that reflects on her life. Kelly shares some stats on egg freezing but has been finding it a challenge to get clear information. Louise recently discovered that some big tech companies pay for egg freezing as an employee benefit to help women avoid having to choose between motherhood and career progression, but is this a good thing?. Louise and Kelly mull over what the feminist arguments are for and against this. Later in the podcast as they bottom out what it means to be called auntie, they discover Louise’s indifference to cats and Kelly introduces Mylo, our resident pussy.
