10) What's the alternative ?

This episode discusses alternatives during fertility treatment. Adoption, sperm and egg donation - anything that may give us the family we so desire. The reality of this can be difficult, and there are a huge amount of emotions. At this point it’s easy to blame each other, but the blame game is a game no one wins.

Once more we found that that the decision making process is a difficult one with complicated legal or ethical issues.

  • *List of the alternatives and some facts on success rates.
  • *A discussion with Zoe Townsend, Counsellor at The Lister Hospital on the moral and legal considerations.
  • *How to decided when it is time to give up, take an alternative or when to stay determined.
  • *A shout out to the excellent Conception Donor Network
