Behind every patient's journey at Femicare Fertility is a team that is led with care, and today we want to say thank you to the two people who lead it.

Dr Biko and Dr Maoto, thank you for the expertise you bring to every case, the time you give to every patient, and the example you set for all of us. Your guidance makes our team stronger, and our patients feel seen.

Here's to the leaders who make Femicare what it is.

If you'd like to meet the team, chat to us at Femicare Fertility, we'd love to hear from you.

To every parent carrying a baby who didn't come home, through miscarriage, stillbirth, or the loss of a newborn, we are thinking of you today. Your baby mattered, your grief is real, and you are not alone in it.

Tonight at 7pm local time, you can join the Wave of Light by lighting a candle in remembrance. However you choose to mark today, whether quietly, loudly, or not at all, there is no right way to grieve.

If you need someone to talk to, we are here, with no pressure and no timeline.

Our advice: test with a purpose, not out of worry.

If you test, you need to be ready to act on the result. Routine testing when there's no problem and you're not trying to conceive can create a lot of unnecessary stress, for you and for those around you.

Testing makes sense when there's a reason: you've been trying to conceive without success, or you have a medical concern. And if you're facing cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, that is the time to look at your options and consider fertility preservation.

Watch Dr Biko's video to hear more. If you're unsure whether testing is right for you, that's exactly what a conversation is for. Chat to us at Femicare Fertility, we'll help you decide what makes sense, without adding to the worry.

It helps to weigh the chances of success with your own eggs against donor eggs, the costs involved, and how you feel about using a donor. Donor conception is not for everyone. Some patients know they would never consider it, while others are more open to the idea, and both are completely valid.

When the chance of success with your own eggs becomes very low, and you and your doctor decide donor eggs would serve you best, that is the time to consider them. There's no rush, and no right answer, only the one that feels right for you.

Chat to us at Femicare Fertility, we'll talk it through with you, gently and without pressure.

At a recent fertility congress in Cape Town, a professor joked that instead of a car for her 21st, you should freeze your daughter's eggs. The room laughed, but the message stuck.

Egg quality declines with age, and chances of conceiving with your own eggs fall much lower after 40, and further after 43. That's biology, not anything you did or didn't do. Freezing eggs earlier can preserve the quality they have today.

Watch Dr Maoto's video to hear more, then chat to us at Femicare Fertility, we'll talk you through your options at your own pace.

Beginning again is its own kind of courage

Fertility treatment rarely follows a straight line. A negative result, a cancelled cycle, or a hard conversation can leave you wondering how you're meant to start over.

But many of the families we care for will tell you the same thing: they began again, more than once, even when their hearts were heavy. That's not weakness, it's strength you didn't know you had.

If you're in the middle of a hard chapter right now, there's no rush to be okay. Take the time you need, and know that when you're ready to try again, you won't be doing it alone.

Chat to us at Femicare Fertility, we're here whenever you decide your next step is ready.

It's one of the most common worries during stimulation, and a completely understandable one.

During your morning monitoring appointments, your care team uses ultrasounds and bloodwork to estimate how many follicles are growing in your ovaries. But not every follicle holds a mature, retrievable egg. Smaller follicles often contain eggs that are still immature, and these may not release from the follicle wall.

Your doctor will do their best to estimate your egg count ahead of time, but the final number isn't known until after the retrieval procedure itself. A difference between the follicle count and the egg count is normal, not a sign that something has gone wrong.

Chat to us at Femicare Fertility, your questions are always welcome here.

Dr Maoto carries on to say...
"I think America did the first study where they found that actually more than 50% of women over the age of 30, for the first time in history, actually don't have kids. It is a worrisome stat because of the difficulty of falling pregnant after that age.

It's not just for the women, for the men. I mean, fertility rates have been going down. In fact, we define normal differently now compared to the past, because our parameters, our semen parameters, have actually been going down over time. So already you can see. Yeah, it's tough for the species...."

Finding a partner is harder than it used to be. More of us are having our first baby after 30. And fertility is changing for men too.

If any of this feels close to home, you are not alone.

Watch the video to hear Dr Maoto's thoughts.

Over the past month, we've talked about what PMOS actually is, the myths that still follow it around, how it's diagnosed, how it's treated, and what it can feel like to live with day to day.

If there's one thing worth carrying forward, it's this: PMOS is common, it's manageable, and it's not something you have to figure out alone, whether you're chasing a diagnosis, a pregnancy, or just some peace of mind about your own body.

Thank you for being part of this month with us. Our door stays open well beyond September.
