A clear explanation of infertility can’t always be found. Fortunately, we can still provide treatment if you’re diagnosed with unexplained fertility. This may be IVF, IUI or another treatment, depending on your age and medical history.

Meet Dr Sarah Evans, one of our consultants at King’s Fertility! From initial consultations to more complex elements of the journey, she is one of our key team members, playing an important role in supporting patients throughout their journey. We sat down with Dr Evans to find out what she loves most about life as a King’s fertility doctor. #Fertility #IVF

Hyperthyroidism means your thyroid gland is producing too much thyroid hormone. This can cause fertility problems by interfering with ovulation for women and sperm production for men. Luckily, it’s usually treatable and can be diagnosed with a simple blood test. #Fertility

Unfortunately, many women living with PMOS wait years for a diagnosis. This name change is a brilliant step in the right direction to reduce that wait time by improving understanding against GPs or what the condition actually looks like. #Fertility #PMOS

While your fertility is impacted by the perimenopause, it’s still possible to conceive naturally. You may also still be eligible for fertility treatments like IVF, though this depends on other factors too, such as your medical history and age.

Baby Loss Awareness Week is a time to honour and remember those who left us too soon. If you’re grieving, please be kind to yourself – remember there’s no right or wrong way to process your emotions. Whenever things feel too heavy to carry alone, reach out to your loved ones and support network, this week and every week.

It can certainly still be worthwhile to freeze your eggs over the age of 35. Dr Sarris explains why, and what you should consider before making a decision.
