Could fertility patterns be passed from one generation to the next? 🧬💗

Fascinating new research published in Fertility and Sterility has explored whether the time it takes parents to conceive (time to pregnancy) may be associated with the future fertility of their children.

The study found that sons whose parents took more than 12 months to conceive had a higher risk of infertility later in life. For daughters, a longer parental time to pregnancy — 7–12 months and particularly more than 12 months — was also associated with a higher risk of infertility, with evidence of a dose-response relationship.

These findings raise an important possibility: lower fertility may have an intergenerational component.

This does not mean that children of parents who experienced difficulty conceiving will necessarily experience infertility themselves. Fertility is complex and influenced by many genetic, biological, environmental and lifestyle factors. Rather, research like this helps us understand fertility across generations and may ultimately support more personalised reproductive healthcare.

At London Fertility Clinic, we believe that understanding your reproductive health is an important part of planning for the future. Whether you are considering a fertility assessment, trying to conceive, exploring IVF or simply want to understand your fertility better, our team is here to provide evidence-based, individualised care.

Could the immune system help prepare the uterine lining for implantation?

New research published in Nature Immunology suggests that uterine monocytes—immune cells that can develop into macrophages—change throughout the menstrual cycle. These cells may contribute to the carefully timed inflammatory activity associated with implantation, while also supporting endometrial renewal and repair.

In Asherman’s syndrome, researchers observed persistently increased inflammatory monocytes and macrophages, together with disruption of their usual cycle-related rhythm.

This is promising early-stage research, but it does not establish a new diagnostic test or treatment. It may, however, help shape future research into implantation, endometrial repair and recurrent intrauterine adhesions.

“The Moon, though nearly 400 times smaller than the Sun, is also almost 400 times closer to Earth—an extraordinary celestial harmony that allows it to perfectly eclipse the Sun. In moments like these, it feels as though nature itself is performing a cosmic dance before humanity, reminding us how exquisitely our Earth is placed within the vastness of the universe, and how privileged we are to witness its wonders.”

Where world-class fertility science meets deeply personal care—because your dream deserves both.

A Special few July 2026 days at the annual meeting of European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in London.
As fertility rates continue to decline globally, reproductive health is becoming far more than a clinical specialty—it is increasingly a societal and public policy priority.
There are many cutting edge generation of technologies that have the potential to redefine fertility care for years to come in our labs.

Thinking about egg freezing? Your future fertility deserves today’s planning. ❄️🥚

Egg freezing (also known as oocyte cryopreservation) has transformed fertility care, giving women the opportunity to preserve their eggs while they are younger and potentially healthier. Whether you’re focusing on your career, waiting for the right partner, planning a family later in life, or facing a medical condition that may affect fertility, elective egg freezing can provide greater reproductive choice and peace of mind.

At London Fertility Clinic, we offer personalised, consultant-led egg freezing in London, using the latest vitrification technology and an evidence-based approach. Every treatment plan begins with a comprehensive fertility assessment, including AMH testing, antral follicle count (AFC), advanced ultrasound scanning, and an individual consultation, allowing us to tailor your care to your age, ovarian reserve, and future family goals. The younger the eggs are frozen, the greater the likelihood of achieving a healthy pregnancy in the future, although no treatment can guarantee success.

If you’re considering fertility preservation, egg freezing, freezing your eggs, or simply want to understand your fertility potential, now is the ideal time to seek expert advice. Knowledge today can create more options tomorrow.

🧬 Not all aneuploidies are created equal.

For decades, embryos have often been classified simply as euploid or aneuploid. But modern reproductive genetics is revealing a far more sophisticated story.

The timing of when a chromosomal error occurs during early embryo development may be just as important as whether the error exists. An aneuploidy arising during the early cleavage stage may behave very differently from one developing later in the blastocyst stage. Some early embryonic errors may have a greater potential for self-correction, whereas later events may be more persistent. This evolving understanding has the potential to transform how we interpret PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy), embryo selection, embryo mosaicism, and personalised IVF treatment.

At London Fertility Clinic, we believe the future of fertility care lies beyond a simple “normal versus abnormal” classification. The next generation of reproductive medicine will combine embryology, genetics, artificial intelligence (AI), time-lapse embryo imaging, molecular biology, and precision medicine to better understand the biological origin of chromosomal abnormalities and what they truly mean for each individual embryo.

The future of IVF, PGT-A, embryo biopsy, embryo selection, genetic testing, and personalised fertility treatment is changing rapidly. As research advances, our goal remains the same—to help every patient make informed, evidence-based decisions while maximising the chance of a healthy pregnancy.
