Wave of Light 2025 ✨

Today, on International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we join together to remember all the babies who were taken too soon. At 7pm, we’ll join together to light a candle as part of the Wave of Light, bringing love, light and comfort to those affected by this loss.

We know this day can be incredibly difficult for many, so it’s important to take care of yourself. Take the time to do whatever brings you comfort. Whether that’s lighting a candle or spending time with loved ones, know that you are never alone on this journey.

We’re sending love to anyone who has experienced this loss. You’re in our thoughts today.

Merrion Fertility Clinic was delighted to take part in the 5th Annual CAYAS Conference at Croke Park on Saturday.

This inspiring event brings together parents, survivors, siblings, medical professionals, researchers and charities for a day of connection and shared experience.

We had the chance to meet some incredible young people, along with parents, healthcare providers and support groups. The talks and panel discussions were excellent and gave real insight into the challenges and progress in this area.

A big well done to Childhood Cancer Ireland and CanTeen Ireland for organising such a meaningful event, and to Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) and National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP) for supporting it.

At Merrion Fertility Clinic, we’re honoured to collaborate with the Irish Cancer Society and Children’s Health Ireland to provide fertility preservation for young people before starting cancer treatment. Through this partnership, we’re committed to making sure that lifesaving treatments don’t take away the dream of one day starting a family.

Our dedicated CAYA (Children, Adolescents & Young Adults) team is here to support patients and families through every step of their fertility journey. By offering fertility preservation, we hope to give them one less thing to worry about during such a challenging time. Knowing that their fertility is being looked after can provide comfort and hope for the future, not just for the patient but for the whole family.

What’s involved in a diagnostic ultrasound scan.

If you’re starting fertility investigations, one of the first steps is a diagnostic ultrasound scan. This scan usually takes place between day 2 and day 8 of your cycle.

When you arrive at the clinic, you’ll check in at reception and take a seat in the waiting area. When it’s time for your appointment, the nurse will call you in, introduce themselves, and explain what will happen before starting the scan.

The scan is performed using a small va**nal ultrasound probe, which is gently inserted into the va**na. This gives a clear view of your ovaries, womb, and pelvic area. The procedure usually takes around 20 minutes and is generally comfortable for most patients.

During the scan, the nurse will check:

▪️The appearance and size of your ovaries
▪️The number of follicles (tiny fluid-filled sacs that may contain eggs)
▪️The thickness and condition of the womb lining
▪️Any signs of cysts or fibroids

After the scan, a report is sent to your Merrion Fertility Clinic doctor. They’ll go through the results with you at your consultation, alongside your AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) test results, to assess your ovarian reserve.

💛 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

💛 Every year in Ireland, around 200 children under 18 years are diagnosed with cancer, and while treatments can save lives, they can also impact future fertility.

💛 At Merrion Fertility Clinic, we’re honoured to collaborate with Irish Cancer Society and Children’s Health Ireland to provide fertility preservation for young people before starting cancer treatment. Through this partnership, we’re committed to making sure that lifesaving treatments don’t take away the dream of one day starting a family.

💛 Our dedicated CAYA (Children, Adolescents & Young Adults) team is here to support patients and families through every step of their fertility journey. By offering fertility preservation, we hope to give them one less thing to worry about during such a challenging time. Knowing that their fertility is being looked after can provide comfort and hope for the future, not just for the patient but for the whole family.

💛 Thank you to everyone who is helping raise awareness this month

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 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.
