In this episode of The Space Between Two Lines, host Rosie sits down for a special conversation with Alex's husband, Nick, to explore the side of fertility that often remains in the shadows: the male perspective. While much of the focus during fertility treatments is on the physical and emotional load carried by women, partners navigate their own unique set of challenges, uncertainties, and emotional highs and lows. Nick shares an intimate look at their road to parenthood, from the surprise natural conception of their first son, Ollie, to the more clinical and demanding path of secondary infertility, ovulation induction, and IVF. This episode is a must-listen for couples navigating fertility treatments, offering a raw and honest look at how these experiences can impact a relationship and how partners can better support one another through the "thick of it".

In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Steph, a pediatric Occupational Therapist and mother of three, who bravely shares her intimate journey through recurrent pregnancy loss and secondary infertility.
While her first pregnancy was straightforward, the path to expanding her family was marked by heartbreak, resilience, and the quiet strength required to navigate grief while parenting.
 
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of fertility, the reality of miscarriage, and the enduring hope that carries families through their darkest moments.
