Fertility Action

Yesterday at Brighton College was exactly why we launched the #FertilityEducationProject 💥 Fantastic conversations, deep curiosity and genuine impact. From male fertility and prevention, (@drana.nd & @chrisgu03 👏) to IVF (@emmatheembryologist 👏) periods, sexual health and reproductive choices (👏Michele) we had such a brilliant team to deliver the presentations! The students explained to us that they want honest, practical education that actually matters to their futures. 👏 This isn’t about ticking PSHE boxes. It’s about empowering the next generation with knowledge before there’s a problem. With 3.5 million people affected by infertility in the UK, the time to act is NOW - and thanks to our incredible experts, volunteers and supporters, together - we’re making that change happen. 🚀 #FertilityAction #FertilityEducation #ReproductiveHealth #IVF MensHealth FertilityAwareness SexualHealth FutureFertility

**Fertility Awareness in Education Starts Here** Today, at the end of National Infertility Awareness Week, we (Emma & Katie) were in West Sussex with the National Education Union, (@westsussexneu ) delivering part of the Fertility Action Education Project - and it was a powerful reminder of why this work matters. Through science, real-life experiences, and honest conversation, we explored what fertility journeys can look like for teachers - and how school environments can evolve to better support them. From understanding the biology, to recognising the emotional impact, to acknowledging the many different paths to family building, this event was about one thing: creating more inclusive, informed, and compassionate education settings, so that teachers can thrive with the support they need when entering a family-building pathway. What made today especially impactful was hearing real stories from teachers navigating fertility challenges alongside the demands of the classroom. These experiences highlighted something important - there is no single journey, and workplace cultures need to reflect that. Different cultures, different circumstances, different pathways - all deserve understanding and space. The Fertility Action Education Project has launched for 2026 and is about giving schools, educators and organisations the tools, language, and confidence to support their teams - not just professionally, but personally too. When people feel seen and supported, they stay. And when they stay, education is stronger. Thank you to everyone who joined us today and who continue to be part of this important conversation. Let us know if you have a connection to a teacher, college, or educational setting that might be interested in this work - and if this is something you believe in, follow @onefullround who are running an excellent campaign on this topic! #FertilityAwareness #TeacherWellbeing #EducationMatters #FertilityAction NEU

Yesterday marked the start of the 4th @blackbabylossawareness Week, founded by the incredible @midwife_alicia and supported by many amazing grassroots organisations and passionate advocates. This week is about amplifying the voices of bereaved Black and mixed Black heritage families, whose experiences have too often been unheard, and ensuring they are connected with the support, care, and resources they deserve. It is a time to recognise the inequities that persist in maternity and reproductive healthcare, to hold compassionate, caring space for lived experiences of loss, and to commit to change that improves outcomes, dignity, and access for all families. At Fertility Action, we stand in solidarity with this mission and remain committed to advocating for equity across fertility and reproductive care, so that every person and family receives the respect, access, and support they need - without exception. #blackbabyloss #blackbabylossawareness #blackbabylossawarenessweek

We are growing into a shape that you've created🫶 You told us a while back that you wanted a space to connect and talk when you are in that incredibly lucky group that get to see the two-pink lines. Naturally, for many, this stage comes with some really complex feelings and emotions - so we followed your feedback and created this group. Today the group continues to grow and be a beautiful, compassionate and safe space to share anxieties, thoughts, feelings and feel free-from judgement in a group that truly get it. So if you are at this point on your family-building pathway and would like to join us, you will always be welcome :) And for those who are still hoping, we have the trying to conceive group twice each week on Tuesdays @ 8pm, and Thursdays @ 8:30pm. Link to sign up in our bio or go to fertilityaction.org. To join our WhatsApp community comment "☕️" or send it as a DM. We are running a short survey at the moment to gather feedback on how we're doing as a charity and how we could improve the support we offer. Please complete this if you have engaged with our support - we'd love to hear your thoughts 🫶 (link in bio) #FertilitySupport #InfertilitySupportGroup #InfertilityCharity #InfertilityCommunity

If you have Endometriosis, you will know that the pain and fatigue can feel relentless and while nutrition is not a cure, the right approach to food can make a real difference to how your body manages inflammation, metabolises hormones and supports you through the difficult days. Continuing the theme from last week when I spoke to Dr Shirin Khanjani @fitzroviafertility , this week I am joined by @janeaherne a registered nutrionist who specialises in fertility, reproductive conditions and chronic inflammation, and has worked with women dealing with endometriosis and PCOS and today in our chat we go deeper into what you can actually do with food, day to day. �This is not about a restrictive diet or a long list of rules, but understanding why certain foods make your symptoms worse, why others help, and how to make small, sustainable changes that your body will actually thank you for. Have a listen and let me know in the chat if it helps! #thefertilitypodcast #endometriosis #endodiet

That time we didn't let technology beat us! One of our founding Trustees Dr Carole Gilling-Smith kindly answered your Fertility treatment questions on an Instagram Live recently, and despite the fact that Instagram was clearly "having a minute" we did what we do best... we found a solution! 💪 So excuse the slightly dodgy "holding up a phone" on this one but we wanted to still share it as Carole's wisdom was not to be wasted and some great topics were covered! (We would however recommend that you listen to this one like a podcast as watching the phone wobble around might make you seasick...!) Thank you very much Dr Carole for kindly supporting us for this Q&A 🙏🏻 #FertilityEducation #FertilityFacts #InfertilitySupport #ivfinformation

TFMR is an abbreviation of the term "Termination For Medical Reasons" and today we want to bring a focus @tfmrawarenessday Again we see a situation where language holds such a weight of emotions. Many find the word "termination" feels wrong as it implies choice - when in reality TFMR is a heartbreaking and devastating decision, based on complex reasons for both the mother and baby. No parent would ever choose this, and each parent that was part of this pathway endures the heavy weight of grief that follows. So today we want to highlight the immense need for genuine compassion when anyone has the courage to share that this was their story. And if this is you, we are always here if you need support 🫶 We'd also like to share some incredible TFMR communities (and please tag any more in the comments that you have found comfort/support from); @tfmrmamas @tfmr_ireland @tfmrsocialworker timetotalktfmr @thetfmrdoula @tfmrpsychologist @the_worstgirlgang_ever @tommys @sandscharity #tfmrisbabyloss
