Bulgaria Update and IVF, Miscarriage & Donor Conception w/ author Myriam Steinberg
Lots has been happening in Bulgaria since the last episode. As always we share the highs and the lows!
Romana also chats to author of new graphic novel Catalogue Baby: A Memoir of (in)fertility, Myriam Steinberg. In her past life, Myriam was a visual artist, and event organizer. For 11 years, she was the brains and brawn of the In the House Festival, which brought live performances of all kinds into people’s living rooms and backyards throughout her hometown of Vancouver, Canada. Myriam was nominated for the YWCA Women of Distinction Award for her work on the festival. Myriam has been on an EPIC journey and speaks candidly about trying to conceive as a single woman in her 40's. She also discusses miscarriage, termination for medical reasons, PGS testing and the path to donor conception. (There is also a tiny section of pregnancy chat near the end).

Endo, MTHFR, 6 rounds of IVF and SMBC with Ravid Israel, founder of Embie
This week we update you on our 7th and FINAL round of IVF.
Romana also chats to Ravid Israel (@embie2baby) founder of Embie, the first app exclusively designed for women going through fertility treatments.
Ravid’s fertility journey began in 2012 with a Cervical Cancer diagnosis, followed by severe endometriosis, multiple fibroids, and an MTHFR mutation. This prompted a move abroad for more affordable reproductive care which was followed by six full IVF cycles, 4 transfers and a lot of experimentation. After five IVF cycle attempts with a partner, Ravid succeeded on her SMBC/first donor cycle, which resulted in the birth of her son in Nov 2020.
Embie (@embieapp) launched in Oct 2020, is the world’s only tracking app exclusively made for women going through IVF, IUI and Fertility Preservation Cycles. It enables women to stay organized and feel empowered through their journeys. The app provides one place where women can log their medications, keep track of symptoms and appointments, track results, get insight and support from the community http://embieapp.com/
