How technology is making fertility treatment more accessible to all

Fertility Limbo – How to Get Unstuck and Take Control
“I suddenly felt in ‘limbo’, which is a particularly apt description as it implies a temporary state, a lack of movement forwards or backwards in life. And let me assure you, being in limbo, and all that it entails, is incredibly uncomfortable.”

Hello, I’m Sophie, one of the hosts for The Fertility Show’s new “Let’s All Talk” webinar series. I am so pleased to see the launch of our free webinar series do so well! If you haven’t already discovered us, here’s some background…

Coping at Christmas When You’re Struggling to Conceive
By Sophie Sulehria, Peanut
‘Tis the season to be jolly, they say. But jolly is the last thing anyone wants to be at Christmas when you’re struggling to have a baby. I know, I’ve been there, and I can safely say that it’s one of the year’s most painful triggers for anyone wishing for their own family (alongside Mother’s Day, Eid, Thanksgiving, and any other significant holiday).
It’s Not Just Good To Talk, It’s Essential
Sophie Sulehria, Peanut
“I have always said it; my struggle with fertility is a mental health condition far more than a physical one. Ok, so the injections and scans and blood tests and pain and all the rest of the stuff that comes with treatment is awful, of course it is… but it’s bearable, right? What’s not so bearable is the circular thinking, the bad dreams, the feeling of isolation, the anxiety, depression, and the myriad of other feelings that come with it. Sadly this part is harder to bear.”

In fact, figures from the HFEA’s latest report showed that from 2008-2018 the number of female same-sex couples undergoing IVF in the UK rose 154%, accounting for 6.4% of all IVF cycles in the UK – an encouraging, and welcome nod to the growing diversity in our society.”
We know there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to fertility, so that’s why we offer a wide range of resources and support.
