We’re delighted to share that Dr. Ciara Nolan’s survey study of Ob/Gyn attitudes to injectable weight loss medications in women trying to conceive has just been published in the international journal (Reproductive, Female and Child Health).

This study showed that while most obstetrics/
gynaecology doctors support the use of weight loss medications like Ozempic in women with infertility to help them meet the BMI cut-off for public ART funding, many also indicated that they had concerns about prescribing responsibilities and long-term follow-up of patients. Almost all (97%) expressed the need for more education and guidance on safety data.

Congratulations to Dr. Nolan on this important contribution to the conversation on reproductive health and treatment access.

We’re so grateful to receive such kind words from one of our patients. The fertility journey can be one of the most challenging experiences for an individual or couple, so it means a lot to know we were able to make it a little easier.

From everyone here at Merrion Fertility Clinic, thank you and congratulations, we couldn’t be happier for you. ✨

We’re delighted to welcome Dr Roisin McConnell to the team at Merrion Fertility Clinic.

Dr. McConnell is a Fertility Specialist with a strong academic and clinical background. She graduated with honours in Medicine from University College Cork in 2016 and went on to complete a Masters in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 2020.

She’s a member of both the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists | RCOG. She is currently pursuing a Masters in Health Care Management with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).

As part of her commitment to medical education, Dr. McConnell has been awarded a place on the prestigious Irish Clinician Educator Training (ICET) programme, a two year national initiative led by the RCPI to develop future leaders in postgraduate clinical education. During the programme, she will spend time at the University of Oxford to further develop her skills as a Clinical Educator, and her research will focus on assessing postgraduate fertility knowledge among doctors to help shape more comprehensive fertility education.

Merrion Fertility Clinic is proud to be part of this important programme, which plays a key role in developing educational leadership in medicine. We look forward to supporting Dr. McConnell in this exciting stage of her career.

Today is World Embryologist Day, marking the anniversary of the birth of the world’s first IVF baby, a moment that changed the future of fertility care.

At Merrion Fertility Clinic, we’re proud to take this opportunity to recognise the expertise and dedication of our embryology team. Their knowledge, precision and care are central to every part of the fertility journey. Their commitment behind the scenes plays a vital role in helping our patients achieve the best possible outcomes.

While patients may never meet them, their work is at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you 💫👏🏻

Very proud of our wonderful Merrion Fertility Clinic team (past and present) who represented our clinic at the recent 2025 annual ESHRE meeting in Paris.

Former MFC Aspire Fellows Dr. S***a O’Brien and Dr. Niamh Joyce discussed our research on patient and practitioner attitudes to fertility treatment access in Ireland, as well as adolescent fertility preservation in cancer, part of the Childhood Cancer Fertility Project.

We were delighted to see Merrion Fertility Clinic research on the international stage, and excited for our clinical and embryology team members to learn about new, cutting-edge advances in fertility medicine and research. Already looking forward to next year’s conference!

New research from Merrion Fertility Clinic published in the Irish Medical Journal!

General practice nurses and maternity hospital midwives play a critical role in supporting the fertility patient journey. Our study surveyed nurses and midwives to explore their knowledge of and attitudes towards fertility care in Ireland. A majority (88%) responded that they would benefit from more education on fertility and assisted reproduction, while many voiced concerns that the current public fertility funding criteria creates unequal barriers to access.

Our Clinical Director, Dr. David Crosby, recently joined Clare McKenna for episode one of her new mini-series Pathways to Parenthood on the Newstalk Alive and Kicking podcast, alongside Helena Tubridy, Fertility Coach, and Annie Lavin, Relationship Therapist for an important discussion on preparing for pregnancy.

It’s a topic that deserves more attention, and this episode covers a lot of ground, from medical considerations and timing to the emotional and psychological side of fertility.

Thanks to Clare for hosting such an open and informative discussion.

We were thrilled to receive this lovely update from one of our patients:

“We welcomed our perfect little MFC baby on Monday June 9th, and have been floating on air since.

It’s impossible to find the words that fully express our gratitude to you all.

The work you do, on what feels like a normal day, has such a profound impact on patients and their lives.”

Messages like this mean everything to our team. We know the journey isn’t always easy, and we’re so grateful to be part of moments like these.

Congratulations from all of us at MFC ✨

This year, the Merrion Fertility Clinic team took part in the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon in support of The Irish Cancer Society, and we’re delighted to share that we raised an incredible €1,620.

We dedicated this year’s run to our former colleague and friend, Kara, who sadly passed away recently. Kara was known for her warmth, kindness, and a smile that lit up any room. She took part in the Women’s Mini Marathon with us in the past, supporting The Irish Cancer Society, a cause close to her heart.

Merrion Fertility Clinic works closely with The Irish Cancer Society through The Childhood Cancer Fertility Project. Each year in Ireland around 200 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer, the treatments for which can cause lifelong damage to fertility, seriously impacting their future chances of ever starting a family of their own. This partnership aims to ensure that, where possible, lifesaving treatment for young people does not come at the cost of their future dreams of parenthood.

Thank you to everyone who supported us and donated; we really appreciate it 💛
