Today I’m joined by Becky, whose diagnosis of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency led to a long and difficult fertility journey, one that included multiple IVF cycles and miscarriage, before she and her husband made the decision to grow their family through egg donation. They are now parents to three beautiful girls; Mila, Eska and Lena.From her experience, Becky went on to create DefiningMum, a platform helping others feel less alone, as well as Paths to Parent Hub, a space supporting donor conception families, along with its accompanying podcast.She is also co-founder of Fertility Matters at Work, where she works alongside Natalie & Claire to raise awareness of fertility struggles in the workplace and support employers to create more compassionate and supportive environments.In this episode, we talk about her experience of donor conception and the conversations that come with it. We also chat about the reality of navigating fertility treatment while working as well as the amazing platform she has created from her own experience, the work she now does in the area of fertility in the workplace, and why more support and awareness is so needed across all areas of fertility.This conversation was recorded in September 2025 so be sure to follow Becky to see the amazing work she has continued to do since.As always, please take care as you listen. This episode includes discussion around infertility and pregnancy loss.Connect with BeckyInstagram (Defining Mum): https://www.instagram.com/definingmum/Paths to Parent Hub:https://www.instagram.com/paths_to_parenthub/Podcast: Paths to Parenthood:https://open.spotify.com/show/0RVVTwIJYTUjC9eiL2juWPutm_medium=share&utm_source=linktreeFertility Matters at Work:⁠https://www.fertilitymattersatwork.com/⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/fertilitymattersatwork/⁠Fertility Matters at Work Research:https://fertilitymattersatwork.com/fertility-research/#signupLinktree:https://linktr.ee/definingmum?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bioConnect with Me:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Findingspace_dk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: findingspacedk@gmail.comResources & Support:Miscarriage Association of IrelandTel:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 01 873 5702⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.miscarriage.ie⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ectopic Pregnancy Ireland ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.ectopicireland.ie ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FéileacáinTel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠085 249 6464⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.feileacain.ie⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Irish Fertility Counsellors Association⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fertilitycounsellors.ie/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pregnancy and Infant Loss Ireland⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.pregnancyandinfantloss.ie⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Gateway Women⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://gateway-women.com/bio/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.iacp.ie⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sands NIhttps://www.sands.org.uk/White Butterfly Foundationhttps://thewhitebutterflyfoundation.co.uk/Miscarriage Association⁠https://www.miscarriageassociation.org.uk/⁠https://www.instagram.com/miscarriageassociation/Miscarriage Association Northern Ireland:https://www.instagram.com/ma_group_ni/The Ectopic Pregnancy Trust⁠https://ectopic.org.uk/⁠Simbahttps://simbacharity.org.uk/Other Support Groups:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.hse.ie/eng/about/who/acute-hospitals-division/woman-infants/bereavement-care/bereavement-support-groups/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music Credit to Purple Planet 55245402
