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.

The Advice I’d Give You If We Were Sitting Having a Coffee
If we were sitting having a coffee together, and you told me how stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure you feel right now…
this is what I would say to you.
In this episode, I’m sharing the advice I’d give you if we were having that conversation in real life - not just as an expert and teacher, but as someone who has been there and who understands just how confusing and emotionally draining this process can feel.
Because when it comes to struggling to conceive and thinking about and fertility treatment, especially if you’re navigating options, different clinics, or even considering going abroad…
it’s not that you’re doing anything wrong and this is not your fault.
In this episode, I talk about:
• Why feeling stuck and overwhelmed makes complete sense and what you can do about it
• Why you don’t need to have everything figured out right now
• The difference between having more information and having the right information
• Why you are not the problem
• How to start thinking about your next steps differently
• Why you’re allowed to explore options outside of what you’ve been told is 'normal'
💛 Want help taking your next step?
If you’re listening to this before 7pm on Wednesday 29th April, I’m running a free live training and Q&A that I very rarely do.
In it, I’ll walk you through:
• Your options if you’re feeling stuck with fertility treatment in your home country
• What going abroad can look like for advanced testing and treatment
• The highlights — and the watchouts you need to be aware of
• Plus a live Q&A where I will answer some of your questions
You can join however you like - cameras on or off, in your PJs, eating your dinner - I really don’t mind!
