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.

How to Access Affordable Fertility Medications, Supplements & HRT Privately (Wherever You Live)
If you’re struggling to access the fertility medication, supplements, or HRT you’ve been prescribed—whether due to high costs or limited availability - this episode walks you through a safe, reliable way to get what you need privately.
Or maybe you suspect (or know) you are in peri-menopause or menopause but you are not being taken seriously by medical professionals, or you are on a long NHS waiting list to see a Consultant and are struggling with symptoms that are impacting on your daily life.
For many women in the UK and other countries like the USA the system can feel unpredictable:
- Meds are expensive and frequently out of stock
- HRT shortages happening without warning
- Menopause 'care' is dismissive for many or stuck behind long waiting lists
- Private menopause clinics that are expensive for most people
In this episode, you’ll learn exactly how to source genuine, fertility and HRT medication with availability and sometimes at a more accessible price too, no matter where your prescription was written, as long as it’s in English.
Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating IVF, managing symptoms of peri-menopause/menopause, or simply trying to follow your treatment plan without constant disruption, this is a practical guide to getting your medication safely and stress-free.
