PODCASTS

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Ella Mannix. She shared her fertility journey with me, how she met her wonderful husband and the decisions that she faced when she realised that her idea of parenting required a different approach to the standard one!

Inspired by her own fertility journey, Ella was keen to use all her research and create Sydney’s first ever Fertility Expo.

Whether you are thinking of having a family in the near future, in the middle of fertility treatment or had not considered your fertility options at all (storing oocytes or sperm perhaps), the expo promises to have something for everyone!

All About Fertility Expo is on Saturday, 17th August 2019.

During my conversations with clients over the years, it is apparent that Finances are a considerable area of concern for most people when they require fertility treatment. Next to relationship problems and breakdown, finances are a significant reason that prevent people from seeking further treatment.

In Australia the average cost of an IVF cycle is approximately $10,000, however in that cost you must also consider the extras and the hidden costs that you may not have budgeted for when embarking on your treatment.

Routine Screening, what is it and when should it be performed for fertility assessment?

Currently there is no schedule for such testing, the reality is if routine screening was conducted early, different choices could be made, with potential treatment and/or intervention.

Most clients find out they have fertility issues after having tried to conceive naturally for some time, however if given the knowledge earlier, they would have made different plans with their lives and family planning.
