If you're struggling to conceive and on the path to parenthood, looking to have a baby and are considering, planning or about to have fertility treatment like IVF, ICSI, Egg Donation, Sperm donation, Embryo donation treatment in Europe and in places like Spain, Greece, Portugal and Czech Republic then you're in the right place.
I'm Emma Haslam and since the birth of our son in 2018, I have made it my mission to make fertility treatment more transparent, accessible, supported and affordable. I now help people around the world just like you to find a safe, best fit clinic and navigate fertility treatment in Europe. And since 2019 I have helped 100s of people around the world to make informed decisions that are right for them and to have fertility treatment in Europe and achieve their dreams of starting or expanding their families.
If you are reading this in real time then I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year. I can’t believe that we are in 2025 already, another year gone past far too fast!
I hope you enjoyed the festive period, I know it can be a really difficult time for so many people, including those of you that are struggling to conceive. If you did find it hard, there is good news though as it’s over for another year now and I have more good news, which I will get to shortly!
Overcoming the IVF and fertility treatment roadblocks
People in the trying to conceive/ttc community are sharing with me a lot of the same things and I want to help. So many of you are feeling really stuck, another year has passed and you are stuck in a system at home for example here in the UK (or wherever you live) and whether it’s on the NHS or state funded, or privately through fertility and IVF clinics - you are facing so many challenges, obstacles wherever you look.
❗Financially - the average round of IVF in the UK costs just under £14,000.
❗Constraints around eligibility for treatment - higher BMI is an example of this.
❗Lack of solutions - leaving people feeling hopeless.
❗Lack of choice (or no choice at all) - leaving people feeling trapped.
❗Longer waiting lists - with the pressure of the ticking clock.
❗Lack of expertise in the support you need for your diagnosis, or lack of diagnosis.
❗Poor, or at best average customer service leaving people feeling like they cannot advocate for themselves and leaving them feeling powerless and out of control on their journeys.
❗The challenge of balancing waiting and the pressure of the ticking clock when you are trying to have a baby, especially over the age of 35 and it’s awful, right?
I suspect that you are probably here and reading this because you sadly feel the same and it’s likely that you are:
✨You are on a waiting list and sick of waiting
✨You've been told you have 'unexplained infertility' but you want answers and aren’t getting any
✨You've been told you don't qualify for treatment at home, despite being generally fit and healthy and offered no support or help with where to turn next
✨You are waiting to find out if you qualify for NHS treatment and you feel the clock ticking
✨You have finished NHS treatment and want to understand what options you have available
✨You have received poor customer service in your home country and you know you deserve better
✨You feel you are being given a one-size-fits-all all solution, when no one person is the same
✨You need private fertility treatment and you know it's a numbers game and want to stretch your budget further and receive better value for money.
Regardless of your reasons for reading this blog post, one thing that everyone in my community shares in common is that you are tired. Tired of it all and you have had enough.
You know that something needs to change, because being stuck in limbo sucks and you know that if nothing changes, nothing changes, right? I appreciate though having been there that you don’t know what to do for the best, but you know that you do not want to wait any longer, you are ready to make some decisions and you want to end 2025 in a much better place to how you are feeling right today. And you want to get on with starting or growing your family. Like yesterday.
