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.

- Pros and cons of conceiving abroad

Here you will get honest advice from someone who TRULY gets it and learn how to get over the obstacles you are currently facing such as overwhelming high costs, the pressure of the ticking clock and being stuck in limbo.

What nobody tells you about planning fertility treatment abroad
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Thinking about fertility treatment abroad… but not sure where to start?
Or maybe you’ve already decided it’s something you want to explore, but now you feel overwhelmed by all the clinics, countries, costs, and conflicting information out there.
You’re not alone.
In this episode, I’m sharing what nobody tells you about planning fertility treatment abroad — the things most people only realise after they’ve wasted time, felt overwhelmed, or gone round in circles trying to figure it all out themselves.
Because the problem usually isn’t that you’re not capable of doing this.
It’s that nobody has shown you how to approach it properly.
In this episode, I cover:
• Why fertility treatment abroad can sometimes feel easier than staying stuck where you are
• Why “going abroad” is not one thing — and how countries differ hugely
• Why researching clinics first often creates overwhelm
• What to focus on before looking at clinics
• How the right support can save you time, stress and money
• Why this process doesn’t have to take over your life
If you’ve been curious about treatment abroad, feeling stuck with your current options, or overwhelmed by researching…
this episode will help you see a clearer way forward.
Because you do not need to have the whole plan figured out today.
You just need the next right step.
