We discuss our last week of being a Covid household and how we've both managed. Then we have some old-school IVF/infertility messages from listeners, including an egg signal about having a thin lining and thoughts on recurrent miscarriage. Plus, a listener shares that our advertiser Bombas really IS all that.
