How does it feel to have your fertility treatment paused because of the pandemic? 40-year-old Sam Baldry began her IVF journey last March just before lockdown. But then everything was put on hold鈥� indefinitely. With research from the University of Aberdeen suggesting that these delays are reducing the amount of births from women over 40 by almost a quarter, Sam talks to Kalpana and Nicola about how devastating the last year has been, and her hopes for starting a family going forward.
