Episode description

According to experts, Australia is on the cusp of a major fertility crisis. Dubbed 'The Infertility Trap' by reproductive biologist, John Aitken, we’re apparently having less children than we did fifty years ago and we're relying on assisted reproductive technologies to do so. To unpack this, Phoebe is joined by Vogue Australia's senior health and beauty editor, Remy Rippon, to discuss her own fertility journey, as well as Dr Courtney Fiebig, a general practitioner from Coogee Beach Doctors, who specialises in antenatal care and fertility.
