Focus on: Fertility Fair
Fertility Fair offers support for your fertility journey
For many couples who struggle to conceive it can come as a complete shock. Others may already have had a reason to suspect they might struggle to conceive – irregular or painful periods, a sports injury, chlamydia infection in their teens, or a family history of premature menopause.
Accessing the right information can play a key part in making the fertility journey a less lonely and daunting experience and support people to move forward.
