5 Things To Look For When Choosing a Fertility Clinic

05/10/21 • 23 min

As a veteran IVFer and someone who talks to women going through procedures at Fertility Clinics every day of the week, I decided to hone in on the 5 things to look for when choosing a fertility clinic and why.
Because we don't know what we don't know and it can feel like a scary thing to do.
So if you are looking at getting help with conceiving a baby and the next step is a Fertility Clinic then it's important that you feel informed about your choices.
So if you are currently asking yourself, what should I look for when choosing a fertility clinic? Then this podcast is for you.
So grab a cup of tea and maybe a pen and paper as I dive into:

What questions you should ask a fertility clinic
Why choosing a fertility clinic just on highest success rate isn't always a good way to choose a clinic and how those numbers can be skewed.
And how to find out what to expect at a fertility clinic

And if you want even more podcasts about IVF in particular and setting yourself up for success you may be interested in:

⁠- How I experienced insensitive doctors in my first month of trying⁠

Why I felt so lonely on my journey⁠

⁠- Why I don't believe it would have worked before it did⁠

⁠- How a dramatic decision actually set me up for success and opened up how I approached my fertility with a whole lot less pressure⁠

⁠- Why it is so important to have emotional and mental health on the journey⁠

⁠- How I approached IVF the first time and why it was so different to how other people approach it and why I believe that is why it worked.⁠

⁠There is so much to unpack this episode. Honestly, grab a cup of tea.⁠

Unexplained Infertility: What you need to know from an Embryologist and Fertility Educator

Send us a text

I don't normally stray from talking about mindset, emotions and energy but today it is my absolute pleasure to welcome an Embryologist and Fertility Educator onto the podcast - Lucy Lines!
After spending so long working as an Embryologist and Fertility Educator, Lucy saw that more needed to be done to help women feel more educated about their fertility.

There were soooo many questions I wanted to ask Lucy and really I only got to a small portion of them but today you will hear about:

The two things that Lucy thinks you should concentrate on when navigating unexplained infertility
Why Lucy thinks tracking your BBT isn’t always the best thing
How to find out how to cope with the grey area of science and how to know what the right next step is
Why the focus is skewed towards egg health rather than sperm health
Why some women produce more eggs than others and why you shouldn’t focus on anyone’s numbers but your own
Why Lucy thinks we as woman take the blame and why we shouldn’t
Why you shouldn’t focus on the grading of your embryos

It was a really fascinating chat with a really wonderful person. So I hope you enjoy!
