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.

IVF abroad: TTC and infertility for those considering conceiving abroad
Lessons I've learned (and wish I had known) before having fertility treatment abroad
Lessons I’ve Learned (and Wish I Knew) Before Having Fertility Treatment Abroad
Show Notes:
If you’re considering IVF or fertility treatment abroad, you might be feeling excited about the possibilities - but also overwhelmed by all the unknowns. I get it, because I’ve been there myself.
In this episode, I’m sharing the key lessons I’ve learned through my own journey with fertility treatment abroad (as well as from guiding hundreds of others). These are the things I wish I’d known before I started — the truths that could have saved me so much time, money, and stress.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why waiting until you’re “desperate” to look abroad could cost you dearly.
- How to see through glossy clinic websites and actually find the right fit.
- The logistics no one talks about - and why they matter as much as the treatment itself.
- The importance of proper support (and what happens if you don’t have it).
- Why clarity and a step-by-step plan change everything.
✨ Whether you’re just beginning to explore going abroad, or you’ve already been through treatment and feel stuck, these lessons will help you move forward with more confidence and less overwhelm.
