I Conceive But Can't Carry Children

  • Summary

  • Linzi (Ryan's sister) can conceive but struggles to carry children full term due to a blood disorder where her blood doesn't clot. She also has lipodystrophy syndrome, meaning she can't produce fat. She talks in full about conception and the reasons why she can't carry babies, the signs to look out for and the journey of going through IVF treatment. She also discusses living with children in the family despite not having her own.----more---- 0:00:00.000,0:00:06.799 you have to have a bmi of under 35 0:00:03.840,0:00:08.320 now i struggle to lose weight but i 0:00:06.799,0:00:11.840 pushed and pushed and i got 0:00:08.320,0:00:12.719 myself down to 32.5 i went up to the 0:00:11.840,0:00:14.920 hospital 0:00:12.719,0:00:17.400 and they told me that the guidelines had 0:00:14.920,0:00:18.500 changed 0:00:17.400,0:00:23.680 [Applause] 0:00:18.500,0:00:26.160 [Music] 0:00:23.680,0:00:28.240 hi welcome to the show this is is it 0:00:26.160,0:00:30.400 just me the podcast which 0:00:28.240,0:00:31.840 you don't usually have me stop so that's 0:00:30.400,0:00:34.480 a bit weird for a start 0:00:31.840,0:00:34.880 and the reason why i've it is weird that 0:00:34.480,0:00:37.200 i'm 0:00:34.880,0:00:37.920 like taking over hosting g's ha ha this 0:00:37.200,0:00:38.250 is my show 0:00:37.920,0:00:40.960 i'm off 0:00:38.250,0:00:42.320 [Laughter] 0:00:40.960,0:00:44.079 so paul and i are with you again as 0:00:42.320,0:00:44.960 always and the reason why this one is a 0:00:44.079,0:00:48.559 little bit different 0:00:44.960,0:00:51.199 is that our guest is family 0:00:48.559,0:00:53.039 so that's always a bit weird right 0:00:51.199,0:00:54.640 definite first time for everything 0:00:53.039,0:00:56.320 there is a first time for everything so 0:00:54.640,0:00:59.039 we've done a few episodes now 0:00:56.320,0:01:00.719 based on um what factors and 0:00:59.039,0:01:03.280 considerations you have to make 0:01:00.719,0:01:04.479 in order to have children whether you're 0:01:03.280,0:01:05.760 going to have children or not have 0:01:04.479,0:01:07.680 children 0:01:05.760,0:01:09.680 and the choices and the considerations 0:01:07.680,0:01:11.760 that go hand in hand with that now 0:01:09.680,0:01:12.880 we're trying to cover kind of mundane 0:01:11.760,0:01:14.560 things or 0:01:12.880,0:01:16.240 things that are normal you know real 0:01:14.560,0:01:18.400 life real people 0:01:16.240,0:01:21.119 and the reason why we think this is 0:01:18.400,0:01:23.840 really interesting is because people 0:01:21.119,0:01:24.720 don't really talk about it openly as 0:01:23.840,0:01:26.799 much as 0:01:24.720,0:01:29.280 you would think they would since this is 0:01:26.799,0:01:30.960 meant to be so normal and so mundane 0:01:29.280,0:01:32.799 um and we found some really really 0:01:30.960,0:01:34.320 interesting people up till now 0:01:32.799,0:01:37.280 and unfortunately now all we're left 0:01:34.320,0:01:37.280 with is my sister 0:01:37.680,0:01:42.720 thanks for watching 0:01:40.120,0:01:45.439 [Laughter] 0:01:42.720,0:01:47.360 i know so my sister has some unique 0:01:45.439,0:01:50.560 insight on this this is lindsay 0:01:47.360,0:01:52.159 she's with us today and she has a unique 0:01:50.560,0:01:55.040 insight on this because it's 0:01:52.159,0:01:56.560 um the other side of the coin to what 0:01:55.040,0:01:59.040 the other episodes have 0:01:56.560,0:02:00.719 been looking at and we thought that it 0:01:59.040,0:02:01.920 was good to explore kind of different 0:02:00.719,0:02:03.920 angles different avenues 0:02:01.920,0:02:07.040 and and get kind of a rounded picture 0:02:03.920,0:02:08.399 for the entire season so we're probably 0:02:07.040,0:02:11.360 paul and i have discussed it and we're 0:02:08.399,0:02:14.000 hoping that it's not going to be 0:02:11.360,0:02:15.920 um a one-sided thing and that we might 0:02:14.000,0:02:18.400 find another couple of people who can 0:02:15.920,0:02:20.080 kind of flesh out the other side of the 0:02:18.400,0:02:23.920 the conversation 0:02:20.080,0:02:26.239 so lindsay hello i'm sorry i've already 0:02:23.920,0:02:27.680 already made fun of you in the first in 0:02:26.239,0:02:29.200 the intro which is 0:02:27.680,0:02:30.640 which is mean so i'm sorry but i 0:02:29.200,0:02:33.360 wouldn't usually do that to a guests i 0:02:30.640,0:02:35.040 know i'm sorry i apologize already 0:02:33.360,0:02:36.239 it's what happens when it's familiar you 0:02:35.040,0:02:37.920 can get you can get away with that have 0:02:36.239,0:02:38.720 you noticed i haven't said anything mean 0:02:37.920,0:02:40.879 because 0:02:38.720,0:02:43.440 that's not something that's going to end 0:02:40.879,0:02:43.440 well for me 0:02:43.680,0:02:48.160 no what have you got to say this mean i 0:02:46.319,0:02:51.280 could say things about you but i would 0:02:48.160,0:02:53.440 i won't do that i've got a bad 0:02:51.280,0:02:54.400 bad good cup going on here then yes you 0:02:53.440,0:02:57.440 do you do 0:02:...
