On Saturday, the FertilityPsych team exhibited at the Melbourne Fertility Expo!

It was wonderful to meet and connect with so many people at different stages of their fertility journey, and to share more about how we support individuals and couples through this process.

Dr Justine Schelle joined the Lived Experiences panel, offering insights from her own fertility journey and how this personal understanding shapes her work and our approach at FertilityPsych.

We really enjoyed having the chance to connect face-to-face with our community and look forward to doing it again soon.

Fertility treatment can be a deeply emotional journey. It can affect not only your body, but also your mind.

As we acknowledge Mental Health Month this October, we recognise the profound impact fertility treatment can have on mental wellbeing.

Be gentle with yourself throughout this process, and remember, seeking support is not a sign of weakness - it’s an act of self-care. 🩵
