186. Ozempic, egg freezing and the fertility timeline: your questions answered
48:45||Ep. 186JOIN US LIVE IN EDINBURGH ON 3RD SEPTEMBER - Head to SIDTLive.com for more information and to purchase tickets.Today - we’re discussing a topic that’s deeply personal, sometimes overwhelming and often very difficult to talk about: fertility. We are joined by an incredible guest - Mr Ali Al Chami - a leading fertility doctor and the medical director of the Avenues fertility clinic in London. We asked you on Instagram for your questions for Ali - when is the right time to freeze your eggs? Could taking Ozempic or a GLP-1 help you to get pregnant? How can our lifestyles affect our fertility? We asked Ali all of those questions - and many more - to attempt to demystify fertility. Whether you're actively going through treatment, thinking about your future, or just want to better understand the emotional and medical realities of fertility... we hope this episode is a useful tool.
