Focus on: Fertility Week
Fertility Week, organised by Fertility Network UK, is a chance to talk about the impact of infertility and also to get the knowledge you need to regain control.
Some people worry about their fertility for years before they seek help – but it could be that a quick blood test, semen analysis or some words of advice might be all that is required to reassure them or explain their options.
For those that have been actively trying for a baby, we know that 8 out of 10 couples will be successful within a year – so if you have been struggling for longer, now is the time to ask some questions.
Fertility Week 2023 takes place from 30 October – 5 November, with the overall theme of raising awareness and moving #forward4fertility, and within that, focussing on a particular theme each day:
Monday: #FertilityFairness
Tuesday: #FertilityEquity
Wednesday: #ChildlessNotByChoice
Thursday: #LGBTFamily
Friday: #FertilityintheWorkplace
Saturday: #HIMFertility
Sunday: #FertilityEd
