David Rawlings |
David is 35 years old and has been married for twelve years. He and his wife did the ‘responsible’ family planning thing and delayed having a family four years into their marriage. They then took the next five years to conceive and carried all the baggage associated with it – the uncertainty, the emotional pain, the confusion and living with a gibbering mess of hormones every 28 days (and that was just David). They have three children, all conceived through four years on IVF treatment. David is a copywriter, editor, public relations consultant and lecturer. He is a governor on Australia’s national infertility network, ACCESS. |

Karen is one
of Australia’s most experienced infertility counsellors. She started working
in infertility counselling in the mid 1980s. She was the first resident infertility
counsellor in the state, working with the University of Adelaide clinic, Repromed.
This was followed by a decade with the Flinders University clinic, Flinders Reproductive
Medicine. She has literally helped thousands of people deal with the roller coaster
emotions of infertility. Karen has spoken at medical industry conferences –
both nationally and internationally – and is a prize-winning presenter.
She was a Deputy member of the South Australian Council on Reproductive Technology
and a member of the National Reproductive Technology Accreditation Committee.
