Share your TTC story ✨What happens when two funny, brutally honest humans decide to document their IVF journey in real time?You get this episode.Today I’m joined by Lauren and David Finn, the duo behind The Baby Making Business, and this conversation is equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, raw and refreshing. We chat about what infertility and IVF actually look like behind the glossy clinic brochures and the weirdly chirpy “stay positive” energy floating around this space.We get into the real stuff here. The emotional chaos. The pressure on relationships. The grief. The waiting. The money. The miscarriages. The uncertainty. And the bizarre realities of sperm sample rooms, sad hospital teddy bears, and why dark humour can sometimes be the only thing keeping you from losing it.Lauren and David share their fertility journey with so much openness, vulnerability and wit. Conversations like this remind you that you are not the only one crying in a clinic car park, rage-Googling uterine lining thickness at midnight, or trying to hold hope and heartbreak in the same body.In this episode we chat about:• how The Baby Making Business came to life • what it’s really like navigating infertility and IVF as a couple • the emotional, physical and financial toll of treatment • why humour has become one of their biggest coping tools • how IVF impacts relationships, work, friendships and everyday life • the importance of advocating for yourself inside the fertility system • what actually feels supportive from friends and family (and what really doesn’t) • the emotional whiplash of hope, grief, waiting and uncertainty • what they wish they’d known earlier in their journeyThis episode is for anyone who is in it right now. Trying. Waiting. Injecting. Hoping. Grieving. Advocating. Holding it together by a thread and a dark joke.Lauren and David bring so much heart to this conversation, along with the kind of humour that makes the unbearable feel a little more survivable.Think infertility chat with a side of emotional support sarcasm.Connect with Lauren & David🎧 Listen to The Baby Making Business Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-baby-making-business/id1837964220📱 Follow them on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thebabymakingbusiness/They’re sharing their fertility journey in real time and creating a space where couples navigating IVF can feel a little less alone.Loved this episode?If this conversation resonated with you, please share it with someone who might need it and leave a review for The Wilde Way.
