Having babies! It’s a part of so many people’s life plans. But for those who want kids, when is the ideal time to start trying? Our knowledge of fertility (our ability to conceive a pregnancy) and of how age affects fertility has a real impact on our aspirations and plans for family. But how much do we really know? And what could be skewing our knowledge? In this episode we cover some super important fertility research, including a study led by our own Dr Aleena Wojcieszek! Plus, Janine vents about one of her particularly triggering "bug bears" (hint) and Aleena has been staring into the eyes of The King (King Bowie, that is).
