Found this little swimmer hanging about the lab.

He looks a little cross-eyed to me — but thankfully, real s***m assessment is much more scientific than judging facial expression on a plush toy.

S***m may be small, but they play a very big role in fertility, and semen analysis is often one of the first simple tests we organise when a couple is trying to understand why pregnancy has not happened yet.

Have you ever wondered how ICSI works?

In this animation, you can see one of the most precise steps in the IVF laboratory.

With ICSI, our embryologist carefully selects a s***m from the prepared sample and injects it directly into the egg. This can help facilitate fertilisation for couples where natural fertilisation may be compromised, including situations where s***m number, movement or appearance makes conventional IVF less suitable.

It does not guarantee fertilisation or embryo development, but it can be an important technique when s***m factors are part of the fertility picture.

It is a tiny moment in the lab — but one that requires enormous skill, steadiness and experience.

Fertility conversations are rarely simple. They often involve chances, risks, probabilities and uncertainty — and many patients arrive already feeling overwhelmed by Dr Google, social media, family advice and IVF data.

My role is to slow the conversation down. To translate the medical information into plain English, explain what the numbers may mean for the person or couple in front of me, and help them make a decision they understand — and can live with.

Patients should not feel rushed into a fertility treatment pathway. They should feel informed enough to take the next step with clarity.

A very happy update to receive. 💛 Baby-K has arrived safely, and it is lovely to hear that both mother and baby are now home and doing well after a brief stay in hospital following the birth.

This journey was not a simple one. After a previous ruptured ectopic pregnancy (— a serious and potentially dangerous situation) the main fertility issue became tubal factor. When the fallopian tubes are damaged or no longer functioning normally, IVF is often the most effective treatment, because it bypasses the tubes completely. She conceived on her first IVF attempt, and now Baby-K is here. 🍼✨

One of the most important parts of fertility care is understanding why pregnancy is not happening, so the treatment chosen matches the problem we are trying to solve. In some situations, IVF can be a very direct and effective pathway forward.

Wishing Mummy-D all the joy ahead as they settle into life with their beautiful new Baby-K! 🍼✨

A surprising number of people feel they need to struggle for long enough before they are allowed to seek fertility advice. They tell themselves they should wait because others have it harder, because they do not want to seem dramatic, or because they worry a specialist will think they came too early.

I think this mindset is incredibly common and almost never helpful. Seeking advice is not overreacting. It is not cheating. It is not giving up on nature. It is simply choosing information over prolonged uncertainty. Sometimes the answer is reassurance. Sometimes it changes the plan. Either outcome can be valuable.

There is no virtue in spending extra months feeling confused, isolated, or increasingly pressured if there are reasons an earlier conversation would help. You do not have to earn clarity by suffering for longer.

Want to see your embryo grow?

This incredible machine is called a Geri, and it is a time-lapse embryo incubator.

One of the things I love about this system is that each patient’s embryos are kept in their own individual chamber. This means embryos can be monitored closely while they continue developing in a stable environment — and if one embryo needs to be removed for transfer or freezing, another patient’s embryos are not disturbed.

The built-in cameras allow the embryology team to watch embryo development without repeatedly taking embryos out to check them under the microscope.

And through Genea’s Grow app, patients can also receive updates, images and videos of their embryo development, in real time, as part of their treatment experience.

It is such a special part of modern IVF care — and still something I find amazing to watch.

When people prepare for fertility treatment, most of the focus naturally goes to the medical side: appointments, blood tests, injections, timing, and logistics. All of that matters. But emotional preparation is often the part people underestimate until they are already in it.

Treatment can bring uncertainty, vulnerability, hope, disappointment, impatience, and comparison, often all at the same time. It can help to think ahead about who you want involved, how much you want to share, and what actually helps you feel grounded when stress rises. For some people, that means keeping things private. For others, it means deliberately building a small support team.

Emotional preparation is not about becoming perfectly calm. It is about making the process feel a little more held and a little less chaotic. That is worthwhile in its own right.

In my fourth year of obstetrics and gynaecology training, one rotation at the Royal Women’s Hospital changed the direction of my life.

It was my first real exposure to fertility medicine, and something about it just clicked.

This is where it all began — and why I still love what I do.

I love popping into the embryology lab and seeing some of the careful work that happens behind the scenes.

This is where eggs are checked, prepared for ICSI, or prepared for freezing — all with incredible precision.

These scientists are incredible — we couldn’t do what we do without them!

The two-week wait is stressful because it asks for patience from someone who has already been patient for so long. The emotional weight comes from uncertainty — not knowing what the outcome will be, and having no ability to influence it.
What helps is structure and boundaries. Plan activities that occupy mental space. Protect your emotional wellbeing. Avoid googling symptoms — pregnancy symptoms and progesterone side effects are identical, and googling will only fuel anxiety.
You are allowed to prioritise yourself during this time. Give yourself permission to feel tired, hopeful, frustrated, scared — all at once.
