IVF abroad: TTC and infertility for those considering conceiving abroad
Trying to conceive (TTC) and navigating fertility testing and treatment like IVF can be a long complicated conception rollercoaster - especially when navigating infertility challenges like high BMI, Low AMH, PCOS, Endometriosis, secondary infertility, Unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarrage, baby loss, or being part of the LGBTQI+ community.
Struggling with infertility and access to fertility treatment in your home country? Feeling frustrated by the lack of options, long waiting lists, NHS/state funded constraints, BMI restrictions, not getting answers, multiple failed IVF cycles, the high cost of private fertility treatment and at best average customer service?
My friend, you're not alone.
But what if there is another way?
Welcome to IVF abroad, the podcast designed to support, inform, and empower you on your journey to parenthood - wherever that path may lead.
I'm Emma Haslam, Founder of Your IVF abroad - the UK’s only independent reproductive agency. I am a fellow fertility warrior and now Mama of one thanks to fertility treatment abroad.
With my experience of helping hundreds of people worldwide since 2019 I will help you to understand and explore fertility options abroad in mainland Europe, like IVF, IUI, egg freezing, egg donation, sperm donation and double donation - making fertility treatment abroad safe, ethical, more affordable, accessible and a stress-reduced experience.

Online Clinic Matching Tools vs. Real Expertise: What’s the Difference?
Clinic Matching Tools vs. Human Expertise: What’s the Difference?
Have you ever filled out one of those online clinic-matching tools, hoping it would tell you exactly where to go for fertility treatment — only to feel more confused or unsure?
In this short and powerful solo episode, I’m breaking down why those tools often don’t work the way you think they will — and what you really need instead.
We’ll look at the very real limitations of online match tools, why they often lead people down the wrong path, and what true expert support actually looks like.
Because this isn’t just about choosing a clinic — it’s about protecting your time, money, and emotional energy on a journey that matters more than anything.
In this episode, I cover:
- What clinic-matching tools really do — and don’t do
- The common traps people fall into when using them
- What makes human expertise and lived experience so different
- How a real strategy can save you from trial-and-error
- What to do if you’re currently feeling stuck or unsure
Whether you’ve already tried some online tools or you’re still considering your options, this episode will help you take a more confident next step.
