April is Stress Awareness Month.

There’s no doubting that the path to parenthood can be a stressful time for all involved. The treatment, the waiting, the setbacks and the victories – the entire process is often a rollercoaster of emotions.

We wanted to share some ideas about how you can look after yourself when trying to have a fertility baby. While the end goal is to bring the joy of new life into the world, it’s so important to make sure you look after yourself along the way.

If you want to find out more about the help we can offer our patients, feel free to get in touch via the link in our bio.

What you need to know about… Blastocyst Culture.

We’ve had a good number of queries recently about what a blastocyst culture is and what it involves. To help answer the key questions, we’ve pulled together a handy, quick-flick guide – courtesy of the knowledge of our experts here in the LFC fertility team.

We welcome any questions related to fertility and are always delighted to assist wherever we can. Get in touch via the link in our bio.

Yesterday was International Women’s Day – the perfect opportunity to celebrate some of the women who helped to pioneer modern fertility treatment.

👩‍🔬 Miriam Menkin fertilised the first human egg outside the body in 1944, proving that in-vitro fertilization (IVF) could work.

🔬 Anne McLaren’s groundbreaking research on embryo development in the 1950s laid crucial scientific foundations for IVF.

🧬 Jean Purdy, an embryologist, played a central role in the team that developed IVF, leading to the birth of the world’s first IVF baby in 1978.

Their amazing work helped to shape the fertility treatments that have supported millions of families around the world today, and we are proud to be continuing that incredible legacy here at Leicester Fertility Centre.

Our services wouldn’t be what they are today without the talent, dedication and kindness of the women in our team, both past and present. We thank and salute you all!

True or false?
One cycle of IVF takes 8 to 10 weeks.

Many people know what IVF involves, but fewer are sure how long a cycle actually lasts. So, is it really 8 to 10 weeks?

The answer is false. In most cases, an IVF cycle takes around 3 to 6 weeks from start to finish. That means that, while IVF can feel physically and emotionally demanding, the treatment phase itself is often shorter than people expect.

Knowledge can bring reassurance, and every journey is unique.

If you’re trying to conceive in 2026, we know how stressful that can be.

Starting a family can be an exciting and transformative time, but also one filled with worry. The path to conception is not always straightforward.

At LFC, we’ve put together this ‘looking after your wellbeing’ blog to help those on the family journey. It provides tips and advice designed to help alleviate some common anxieties.
