Stress & fertility: what your body might be trying to tell you🤔

When you're under prolonged stress, your body can send subtle (and not-so-subtle) signals and some of them can impact fertility.

From hormonal disruption and irregular cycles to gut imbalance and reduced libido, stress can show up in ways we don’t always expect.

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. And if you're trying to conceive, understanding these signs is a powerful first step.

Fertility health isn’t always about “trying right now.”

Here are 5 signs it might be worth speaking to a specialist:
Irregular or missing periods
TTC for 12+ months (or 6+ if over 35)
PCOS, endometriosis, or thyroid concerns
Multiple miscarriages
Wanting to freeze your eggs or plan ahead

Knowing more about your fertility can bring peace of mind — and open up more options.

GLP-1 meds and fertility: what you need to know🤔

Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Mounjaro are dominating headlines and social media feeds – and not just in conversations about weight loss. More and more people are asking how these medications might affect fertility, especially those preparing for IVF or trying to conceive naturally.

Originally developed to manage diabetes, GLP-1 medications are now used for weight management, and for some, they’ve supported hormone balance and even helped restore ovulation. But when it comes to fertility, they’re not a one-size-fits-all solution.

In this post, we look at how GLP-1s work, how they might impact your cycle, and what to consider if you’re trying to conceive.

💜Thinking about GLP-1 and fertility? Let’s talk. Care Fertility is here to help you navigate what’s right for you – with expert, personalised support every step of the way.

“We did it… we actually did it.”💜

Jolene and Sophie came to Care Fertility Birmingham with one shared dream: to grow their family.
Through difficult diagnoses, heartbreak, and the courage to try again, their journey brought them to the moment they met their little girl, Remi.

From their very first appointment just two weeks after getting married, to returning to the clinic cradling their miracle baby, Jolene and Sophie’s story is one of love, strength, and unwavering hope.

“We’re now the perfect family of four. She’s here. She’s real. And she’s absolutely incredible.”

Read their full story on our blog here - https://carefertility.com/patient-stories/jolene-and-sophies-ivf-journey, we’re honoured to be part of every path to parenthood.🙏

We apologise for so much, especially during fertility struggles. For expressing our feeling too much, needing space, asking questions, or simply protecting our peace.

But let’s be clear:
You don’t need to say sorry for being human.
You don’t need to shrink yourself to make others comfortable.

Every part of your journey, every emotion, every boundary, every pause is valid. Let’s stop apologising for surviving something we never asked for in the first place.

Which one of these spoke to you most? Or tell us what are you done apologising for?👇

Small changes can make a big difference.🙌

If you're trying to conceive and wondering how your weight might be affecting your chances, you're not alone and there are things you can do that truly help.

From eating well, moving more to prioritising sleep and emotional support, caring for yourself can support your fertility journey. 💜

You don’t need anyone’s permission to rest, feel, or protect your peace but if you’ve been waiting for a sign, here it is. 🤝

This is your permission slip to:
✔ Rest without guilt
✔Say no without explaining
✔ Cry without apology
✔ Hope again tomorrow
✔ Ask for what you need

Whether you’re on a fertility journey, supporting someone who is, or just navigating life, this one’s for you.

Save it. Screenshot it. Share it with someone who needs it today.💜

After becoming a mum through IVF at Care Fertility, Claire made the incredible decision to return not for more treatment, but to help someone else start their family.💜

“I just wanted to give something back,” she told us. Claire knew the heartbreak of fertility struggles, and chose to become an egg donor to support others on their path to parenthood.

From daily injections to emotional resilience, egg donation takes true strength and Claire brought that in abundance.

To Claire, and every donor who walks through our doors: thank you. You are changing lives.🤝

✨Festive Season Clinic Opening Hours✨

As the holiday season approaches, here's a quick reminder of our clinic opening hours to ensure you can reach us when you need us most! This shouldn't affect any of your scheduled appointments, but if you do have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the clinic.

At Care Fertility, we’re dedicated to supporting patients and ensuring everyone has access to the fertility care they need.

If you live in Birmingham, Tamworth, Northampton, Nottingham, or Sheffield, we encourage you to participate in this important survey about changes to NHS-funded fertility treatment across the East Midlands.

A new survey is open about proposed changes to fertility treatment access across five Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), including:

Derby & Derbyshire ICB
Nottingham & Nottinghamshire ICB
Northamptonshire ICB
Leicester & Leicestershire ICB
Rutland & Lincolnshire ICB

These changes will impact many local patients, including those in Glossopdale and Bassetlaw.

What’s Changing?

- Reduced access to IVF: Policies will be harmonised to offer just 1 partial IVF cycle (one ovarian stimulation and up to 6 embryo transfers) for women under 42. Currently, some areas offer up to 3 full cycles.

- New eligibility rules: Couples where one partner has a child from a previous relationship will no longer qualify for NHS-funded IVF.

- Expanded access for same-sex couples, single women, and trans men: These groups will now be considered to have a fertility issue (if all other criteria are met), making them eligible for NHS treatment.

Deadline for Feedback: January 10, 2025

How you can get involved:
Complete the survey: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0fjMkQ0
Attend a focus group: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0fjMqp0

At Care Fertility, we believe your voice matters. Let’s work together to ensure fertility policies are fair and inclusive for everyone.
