18: Lovely lining, BPAs and author Richard Mackney

Both Gabby and Emma are playing the waiting game this week as they get ready for big dates with their clinics. Before that, though, they're joined by Richard Mackney, co-author of Get A Life: His & Hers Survival Guide to IVF. He talks about IVF from a male point of view, and describes (in pretty graphic detail, FYI) his disastrous first attempt at producing sperm during a round of treatment.

It's an adult one this week - graphic descriptions, F bombs from the beginning. #sorrynotsorry
