We have got an extra episode on the podcast this week as we are celebrating the launch of the new fertility support charity- ⁠Fertility Action Network.⁠

I am joined by Katie Rollings, founder of the Fertility Action Network, about her personal journey through infertility and the establishment of this charity aimed at improving access to fertility treatments and mental health support.

For more information on ⁠Fertility Action Network check out their website ⁠and ⁠Instagram account.⁠

  • How The Fertility Action Network aims to improve access to fertility treatments.
  • Why there is a significant disparity in fertility treatment access based on location.
  • Why mental health support is crucial for those undergoing fertility treatments.
  • How male fertility issues are often overlooked in the fertility conversation.
  • How education and resources for patients are lacking in the current system.
  • The importance of community support for those struggling with fertility.
  • How the campaign seeks to address inequalities in fertility treatment access.
  • How Therapy played a vital role in Katie’s recovery and advocacy work.
