Mariah Riney is an Oocyte Donor from the USA. She kindly offered to tell her story and give us a little insight into the process in America with the agencies that manage the donations.
Donating oocytes is a huge commitment of time, needles, testing, ultrasounds and a medical procedure to retrieve the oocytes.
Mariah is lucky to have the flexibility of working for herself as a Full Stack Marketer and Content Creator. Her website link is below –

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Ella Mannix. She shared her fertility journey with me, how she met her wonderful husband and the decisions that she faced when she realised that her idea of parenting required a different approach to the standard one!
Inspired by her own fertility journey, Ella was keen to use all her research and create Sydney’s first ever Fertility Expo.
Whether you are thinking of having a family in the near future, in the middle of fertility treatment or had not considered your fertility options at all (storing oocytes or sperm perhaps), the expo promises to have something for everyone!
All About Fertility Expo is on Saturday, 17th August 2019.

When an Embryologist starts a fertility clinic, you know that this will be a unique experience!
Alpesh is bringing the magic, which is usually behind the scenes in the laboratory, to all his patients.
It is all about the journey and the emotional support.
I have worked with his patients and they are certainly feeling the more personalised approach to treatment.
The future of IVF clinics is happening now at IVF London.
It is mid February and by now 99.9% of the New Years Resolutions that you have made have fallen behind schedule or simply been abandoned! You are not alone though, change is really hard to achieve for most of us, we are hard wired to do what we know and stay within our comfort zone, it is safer there!
So what are the 3 changes and how can you make these work for you?
During my conversations with clients over the years, it is apparent that Finances are a considerable area of concern for most people when they require fertility treatment. Next to relationship problems and breakdown, finances are a significant reason that prevent people from seeking further treatment.
In Australia the average cost of an IVF cycle is approximately $10,000, however in that cost you must also consider the extras and the hidden costs that you may not have budgeted for when embarking on your treatment.
This podcast episode is all about Communication … so often this gets strained and a difficult when you are undergoing fertility treatment. Not only with your loved ones, also with your work colleagues, family and friends.
