Focus on: PCOS Awareness Month
It is estimated that as many as 1 in 10 women in the UK suffer from PCOS, making it one of the most common causes of infertility. According to our consultant Dr Arpita Ray, Regional Lead Consultant, women with PCOS may find it more challenging to conceive, due to an imbalance of sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which may lead to irregular or absent periods. Other symptoms of this increasingly common condition may include ovarian cysts, acne, excess hair and obesity, but also none of these.
September is PCOS Awareness Month, with PCOS charities and organisations, such as Verity in the UK and PCOS Awareness Association in the US, aiming to raise awareness and increase understanding of the condition. If you would like advice on how PCOS may impact fertility do get in touch.

Kate Brian of Fertility Network will be talking about the range of support available for people with infertility at Bourn Hall's Fertility Fair.“Finding out that the reason we couldn’t conceive was that both of my fallopian tubes were blocked was actually a relief,” says Kirsty from Norfolk.
“The ‘not knowing why’ seemed like the worst part. With a fertility diagnosis we were able to move forward with the appropriate treatment which enabled us to have a baby.”
After over a year of trying to conceive, Kirsty and Dan came to us for fertility tests. After their problem was diagnosed, they went onto have successful treatment, leading to the birth of baby Jenson in October 2020.

One of the most common questions we get asked is ‘What are the funding options for IVF?’
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that for the best chance of a successful outcome from IVF treatment, patients should be offered up to three cycles of IVF on the NHS but there are few places where this level of funding is available.
The availability of IVF treatment through the NHS is inconsistent across the country as each Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) can set its own priorities. This means that, although NICE recommends best medical practice, budget restrictions mean these guidelines are not followed by many local NHS services
