💙 Understanding Donor Options in Fertility Care

Sometimes, building a family may mean exploring donor options and that’s completely okay. We provide compassionate, evidence-based care to guide you through every step.

Here are the main donor pathways:

🧬 Donor Eggs – For women with reduced egg quality/quantity, genetic concerns or age-related decline in fertility.
🧪 Donor S***m – For single women, same-sex female couples or where significant male factor infertility is present.
👶 Donor Embryos – When both egg and s***m are needed for couples who are having challenges with their own eggs and s***m.

✨ Choosing a donor option is a deeply personal decision. Our team supports you with counselling, medical guidance and a transparent process that prioritises your emotional and physical wellbeing.

🔬 ICSI vs IVF: What’s the Difference?

💙 IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation):
Eggs and s***m are combined in the laboratory, and fertilisation happens when one s***m penetrates the wall of the egg. IVF is often used if s***m assessments are normal. However other fertility factors may be present (such as blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis or unexplained infertility).

💙 ICSI (Intracytoplasmic S***m Injection):
A single healthy s***m is carefully selected and injected directly into the egg. ICSI is often recommended when s***m count, movement or shape has been found to be abnormal or when IVF hasn’t worked previously.

✨ Both are highly effective treatments, and the best choice depends on your fertility. Our team are to guide you every step of the way.

⏳ How long should you try before seeking help with fertility?

For many couples, it’s natural to wonder when it’s the right time to see a specialist. Here’s what the evidence and clinical guidelines recommend:

👩 Under 35 years old → If you’ve been trying to conceive for 12 months without success, it’s time to check in with a fertility specialist.

👩 Over 35 years old → Fertility naturally declines more quickly, so it’s best to seek help after 6 months of trying.

💡 Why it matters: Fertility challenges can come from many factors egg quality, s***m health, ovulation, hormones or other medical conditions. Early support can provide answers, treatment options, and reassurance.

✨ Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or already trying, our team are here to guide you with evidence-based care and compassion.

💬 Three Words of Fertility Advice

When asked to share her wisdom in just three words, Dr Rebecca Mackenzie Proctor’s answer was simple but powerful:

✨ Hope. Science. Patience.

💙 “Maintain the hope to keep going, have the patience to keep going, and rely on our wonderful science.”

We believe these three words capture the essence of every fertility journey strength, resilience and trust in the care guiding you forward.

Dr. Rachael Knight shares her excitement about ongoing studies in ovarian rejuvenation exploring whether it may one day be possible to regenerate eggs. 🧬✨

While still in early stages, this area of science offers hope and inspiration for the future of fertility care. 💙

🩸 Why Tracking Ovulation Matters

Understanding your menstrual cycle is one of the most powerful tools in your fertility journey. By tracking ovulation, you can:

📅 Identify your fertile window - the days when conception is most likely.
🔍 Spot irregularities - patterns that might signal hormonal changes or underlying conditions.
🤰 Plan or prevent pregnancy - timing is everything, whether you’re trying to conceive or not.
⚖️ Understand hormonal health - your cycle can be a window into your overall wellbeing.

Tools like apps, basal body temperature tracking and ovulation predictor kits can make it easier to stay on top of your cycle however, many of these tools are inaccurate and can give false information. Our team are here to help interpret and guide you every step of the way, let them take the stress of this away for you.

🧬 What is PGT? (Preimplantation Genetic Testing)

PGT is a specialised test that screens embryos for certain genetic conditions before they are transferred to the uterus during IVF.

Here’s why it matters:
✨ Helps identify embryos with the right number of chromosomes
✨ Reduces the chance of transferring embryos with inherited genetic abnormalities
✨ May lower the risk of miscarriage
✨ Supports families with a history of inherited genetic conditions and vastly reduces the risk of passing on genetic problems.

PGT doesn’t change or alter embryos it simply gives us information, helping patients and specialists make the best decisions for a healthy pregnancy. 💙

💙 Fertility Options for Single Women

You don’t need a partner to start building your family. We support single women on their path to parenthood with evidence-based, compassionate care.

Here are some of the most common fertility options available:

🧬 Donor S***m – Using carefully selected donors through IUI or IVF
💉 Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – Placing donor s***m directly into the uterus around ovulation
🧪 In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) – Combining eggs with donor s***m in the lab, then transferring an embryo to the uterus
❄️ Egg Freezing – Preserving your eggs today for use in the future, if you’re not quite ready yet

✨ Every journey is unique. Whether you’re ready now or planning ahead, our team are here to guide you through your options with clarity and care.
