Couples often face stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation.
Studies show that support groups and counselling improve outcomes by reducing stress and improving lifestyle habits.

๐‘๐ž๐ฆ๐ž๐ฆ๐›๐ž๐ซ: seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Spring reminds us that growth takes time, emotionally and physically.
Nurture yourself as you nurture hope.

๐Ÿ’ก The future of conception is evolving rapidly.

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) success rates are increasing, and new methods and approaches are always emerging to help people facing infertility.
Fertility preservation (egg/s***m freezing) allows planning for the future.

Thereโ€™s hope in science, and with knowledge, innovation, and a positive mindset, new beginnings are always possible

โณ Time matters more than you think.

Womenโ€™s fertility begins to decline after age 30 and drops faster after 35.
Menโ€™s fertility declines gradually but can be affected by chronic health conditions.
Early evaluation can make a big difference, sometimes the solution is simpler than expected.

Spring is a reminder that new beginnings are possible at any stage.

Surprisingly, s***m quality can change every 72 days, meaning improvements in lifestyle can quickly affect fertility.

Fertility is a team effort, both partners matter.

๐Ÿงฌ Did you know?
Infertility isnโ€™t just a โ€œwomanโ€™s issue.โ€
About 40% of infertility cases are related to male factors, 40% are related to female, and 20% is unexplained.
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected s*x (6 months if over 35).
Understanding the causes is the first step toward new beginnings. ๐ŸŒฑ

Stay tuned this September as we explore different aspects of infertility and ways to find hope and solutions.
