After
Empowered to advocate for herself, change providers when needed, and pursue experimental treatments internationally
Rosanne opens with a passionate teaching about winners and losers on the fertility journey, emphasizing that the only real losers are those who give up. She sets up Claire's story as the perfect example of a woman who refused to leave without her baby, no matter what obstacles she faced.
Claire shares how she met her husband in her mid-thirties, got married at 37, and discovered fertility challenges when she didn't ovulate after coming off birth control. What started as a plan for natural conception quickly became a complex medical journey involving multiple clinics and treatments.
After years of failed treatments, Claire hit her lowest point and was ready to leave everything behind. Finding Rosanne's book at exactly the right moment became the turning point that shifted her from focusing on problems to pursuing solutions with unwavering determination.
Claire's willingness to pursue experimental PRP therapy in Spain, combined with donor eggs and the mindset tools she learned, finally led to pregnancy at 44. Her story demonstrates how persistence, medical advocacy, and openness to all options can overcome seemingly impossible odds.
“After having tried many different rounds and having lots of tears and a few meltdowns, we are finally pregnant.”

Yes, Claire's story proves it's possible. After 7 years of failed treatments, she conceived at 44 using donor eggs combined with experimental PRP therapy in Spain, showing that persistence and the right approach can overcome age-related challenges.
“There is something that I think you could be interested in. We can't recommend it because it's not licensed in the UK. However, our Spanish clinic is running a research project on PRP, which is plasma rich playlist.”
— Claire▶ 19:48
PRP (plasma rich platelet) therapy is an experimental fertility treatment where your own plasma is used to improve endometrial lining. Claire traveled to Spain for this treatment when it wasn't available in the UK, and it helped her achieve pregnancy after years of thin lining issues.
“Only tell me something if you think it's gonna help or it's something I need to think about. If it doesn't help me, I'm not interested.”
— Claire▶ 38:28
Focus only on information that helps you move forward. Claire learned to tell her husband to only share research and statistics that would help their decisions, not negative data that would make her feel worse. She also maintained a gratitude journal and surrounded herself with supportive people.
“What's more important? Do you want a baby, or do you want a baby that's a hundred percent genetic than you? And she's like, I want a baby. And I was like, well, there's the answer.”
— Claire▶ 44:04
Ask yourself what's more important - having a baby or having a baby that's genetically yours. Claire initially preferred adoption over IVF but ultimately chose donor eggs after asking herself this crucial question, leading to successful pregnancy at 44.
“I need someone who is who is on my side completely and who is open to trying anything because I will try anything.”
— Claire▶ 28:03
Change providers if they won't support your treatment goals. Claire moved clinics twice when doctors weren't open to the treatments she wanted to try, ultimately finding providers who would perform experimental procedures that led to her success.
“The problem that I started with and have had throughout is that having gone from having really heavy periods to the point of being slightly anemic, my lining was really thin.”
— Claire▶ 13:01
Thin lining can be challenging but isn't insurmountable. Claire struggled with lining thickness throughout her 7-year journey but ultimately achieved pregnancy through experimental PRP therapy that helped improve her lining quality.
Claire's approach to finding providers who supported her treatment goals
Identify your goals
Be clear about what treatments you're willing to try and what your ultimate objective is
Assess provider alignment
Evaluate whether your current provider supports your vision or keeps saying no to treatments you want to explore
Research alternatives
Look for clinics that offer the treatments you're interested in, even if it means traveling internationally
Change providers when needed
Don't stay with a clinic that won't support your goals - find someone who is completely on your side
Focus on helpful information
Only accept opinions and data that help you make decisions, ignore negative or irrelevant information
There are winners and losers on the fertility journey - the only real losers are those who succumb to their fears and give up
Claire persevered through 7 years of treatment failures, multiple clinic changes, and countless setbacks before conceiving at 44 with donor eggs and PRP treatment in Spain.
Success requires leaving it all on the dance floor and wanting your dream more than clinging to fear or excuses
Claire moved clinics twice when they wouldn't support her openness to new treatments, traveled to Spain for experimental PRP therapy, and tried every available medication to maximize her chances.
You must be ready to receive what you're praying for, or you will subconsciously block it
Claire hit rock bottom before finding Rosanne's book, transformed her mindset from focusing on problems to solutions, and only then achieved success after years of treatment failures.
Ask yourself what's more important - having a baby or having a baby that's genetically yours
Claire initially said she'd rather adopt than do IVF, but when faced with the choice, she pursued every option including donor eggs and ultimately conceived at 44.
Only accept information that helps you - if it's negative or irrelevant, ignore it completely
Claire told her actuary husband to only share statistics and research that would help their decisions, leading them to pursue experimental PRP treatment in Spain when UK clinics said no.
Anyone's opinion is just information - it's what you do with it that matters
Claire changed clinics multiple times when doctors weren't supportive of her treatment goals, ultimately finding providers who would perform PRP therapy and donor egg procedures.
Focus on maximizing your chances rather than doing everything perfectly
Claire drank alcohol during lockdown, maintained her preferred gym routine, and only modified behaviors when it felt right for her, yet still conceived successfully at 44.
Don't try to do everything at once - that's what causes burnout on the fertility journey
Claire learned through coaching that trying to control every aspect simultaneously was counterproductive, leading her to focus on what felt right for her body and situation.

“There are winners and there are losers. The only real losers on this journey are the people that succumb to their fears, succumb to their excuses, and just fucking give up.”
“If it doesn't help me, I'm not interested. If it's not positive, don't wanna know because it's either negative, in which case it makes me feel worse, or it's irrelevant, and it's just taking up space.”
“What's more important? Do you want a baby, or do you want a baby that's a hundred percent genetic than you?”
“I need someone who is who is on my side completely and who is open to trying anything because I will try anything.”
“Don't give me problems. Give me solutions. That's what I need.”
