Meet Ailbhe and Patricia 🤍

Ailbhe and Patricia are part of our nursing team and are often the familiar faces you’ll see throughout your treatment.

They carry out scans and blood tests, keep a close eye on how your cycle is progressing, and just as importantly, support patients at every stage of their journey. From answering questions to offering reassurance on the days that feel a bit heavier, they’re there to guide you through each step.

Merrion Fertility Clinic at ‘Fertility 2026’ in Edinburgh.

Our team attended Fertility 2026 in Edinburgh, a valuable few days spent connecting with colleagues across the fertility community, listening to fantastic presentations and keeping up to date with current research and clinical practice.

We're very proud of our Clinical Team for their strong contribution to the programme and the quality of their research presentations.

Dr. Roisin McConnell:

🔵 How much do doctors know about fertility?

🔵 State funded IVF: time to look at male obesity?

🔵 Predictive value of anti-Müllerian hormone in assisted human reproduction: a retrospective cohort study.

🔵 Public AHR: the face of Irish infertility?

Dr. Niamh Fee:

🔵 Low anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level as a marker of unsuccessful biopsy in patients planning preimplantation genetic testing.

🔵 Understanding patient perspectives on preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in Ireland.

🔵 Fertility preservation in adolescent and young adult females prior to gonadotoxic treatment: an Irish experience.

Dr. Sarah Petch:

🔵 Single cell RNA sequencing revealing reduced expression of mitochondrial related genes in granulosa cells of women with diminished ovarian reserve.

Thank you to The Association of Reproductive and Clinical Scientists (ARCS), British Fertility Society (BFS) and Society For Reproduction and Fertility (SRF) for hosting such a well run and engaging event, and to everyone involved in making it a success. We look forward to building on what we have learned and continuing our work in fertility research and patient care.

We’re delighted to share that Abby, Fertility Nurse at Merrion Fertility Clinic, recently featured on the IANO Podcast alongside hosts Sheilah Broderick and Ada Kinneally.

In this episode, Abby discusses fertility preservation for children, adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer. She speaks about the fertility risks associated with cancer treatment, the options currently available in Ireland and the importance of timely support at the point of diagnosis. Abby also highlights the vital role nurses play in initiating early, compassionate conversations and supporting referral pathways that help protect future reproductive choices.

The discussion covers fertility preservation options for male and female CAYA (children, adolescents and young adult) patients, coordination and eligibility at diagnosis, sensitive communication with patients and families, multidisciplinary and psychosocial support.

We’re very proud to see Abby representing our clinic, sharing her expertise, and advocating for proactive fertility discussions, so that young people facing cancer have the information and support they need to make informed choices about their future.

We’re pleased to share this update from the UCD School of Medicine and to celebrate the work of our colleague, Dr. Niamh Fee.

Her newly published study in Human Fertility looks at how patients feel about the use of AI during fertility treatment. More than 200 patients took part, giving a clear picture of where they see potential value and where they still have reservations.

Many felt AI could support clinicians and embryologists in tasks such as administration and decision-making, but there was far less comfort with AI acting alone in areas such as embryo selection, semen analysis, or reporting scans. The findings underline the importance of keeping human expertise and empathy at the centre of care, even as new tools emerge.

This is one of the first studies to examine patient views in this space, and it offers an important perspective for anyone developing or applying AI in reproductive medicine.

We’re very proud of Niamh and delighted to see her work recognised.

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.
