Apparently my glasses have officially been one-upped šŸ˜Žā€¦and that’s saying something.

One of the lovely parts of what I do is getting to meet the little people who were once only hoped for. And then, sometimes, having them join us in the consult room as we start talking about the possibility of a sibling.

Always very special. Even if they do have cooler glasses than me.

One of the things I enjoy after a day of consulting is debriefing interesting cases with my colleagues.

Today Dr Lily Liew and I were talking about a lovely couple who initially came in because of a fibroid. But as we unpacked their story, it became clear that recurrent miscarriage was the bigger issue.

What really stood out was the conversation with the husband. He was sitting there quite innocently, not realising that fertility investigations don’t just stop with the woman. We organised some tests for him as well.

It’s a good reminder that fertility is a couple’s journey. Sometimes the answers are where you least expect them, which is why it’s so important to look at the whole picture rather than just treating the obvious problem.

Interesting case. Hopefully one step closer to the family they’re hoping for!

If you’re considering surgery for endometriosis, don’t be afraid to ask your surgeon about their approach.

There are different techniques, such as excision (cutting out the disease) and ablation (burning the surface), and they can lead to very different outcomes.

Who performs your surgery can be just as important as the surgery itself. It’s your body, your future and your right to understand your options.

When it comes to endometriosis surgery, how it’s treated matters.

Excision removes the endometriosis at its source, while ablation simply burns the visible surface. Think of it like pulling out a w**d by the roots versus just trimming what’s above the ground.

Research consistently shows that excision is associated with better long-term pain relief, lower recurrence rates and improved fertility outcomes.

If you’ve been told surgery is your next step, it’s worth asking an important question: Will my endometriosis be excised or ablated?

The right approach can make all the difference.

If endometriosis was always easy to see on a specialist ultrasound, my job would be much simpler.

The reality is that some endometriosis hides very well, particularly when it’s spread across the pelvic lining, behind the uterus, around the bowel or in areas that aren’t easily visible on imaging.

A scan can be normal, but the pain is still real and so are the fertility struggles. Sometimes the only way to know what’s actually going on is to look directly with a laparoscopy.

I’ve learned over the years that when a woman keeps telling you something isn’t right, it’s worth listening.

Some days in fertility stay with you.

Not because of a procedure or a result, but because of the determination of the person sitting across from you.

I’ve met patients who have been through years of disappointment, been told their options are limited, or felt like they were running out of hope. And yet they keep going. That’s something I never stop admiring.

is a chance to acknowledge the reality of this journey, but also the incredible resilience of the people living it.

To every patient navigating infertility right now, your strength does not go unnoticed. It is a privilege to be part of your story šŸ’›

A few weeks ago, and I operated on a wonderful patient with severe endometriosis after previous IVF treatment had been unsuccessful.

The disease had significantly distorted her anatomy, affecting the function of her fallopian tube and reducing her chances of conceiving naturally. Through surgery, we were able to remove the endometriosis, restore normal anatomy, and see the tube functioning again.

Moments like these are a reminder that fertility treatment is not just IVF.

Sometimes, treating the underlying disease and restoring anatomy can create opportunities that weren’t there before.

For us, creating a life is creating a life, whether that happens through IVF or naturally. We’re equally excited, equally invested and incredibly grateful to play a small part in these journeys.

It’s a privilege to do this work, and we’re looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Hope and fertility go hand in hand. Keep your chin up, we’ll do our best šŸ’›

When our fertility nurse, Brianna, was pregnant she craved watermelon, and I may have kept eating it…

Now she’s back from mat leave, so we had to make it right šŸ‰ Welcome back, Brianna!
