Valentine’s Day can feel tender when you’re in the thick of fertility treatment.

When your body feels sore.
When your hormones feel loud.
When your heart feels hopeful… and tired at the same time.

If you’re struggling to pour love into anyone else right now, that’s okay. Truly.

Maybe this Valentine’s Day isn’t about grand gestures.
Maybe it’s about coming back home to yourself.

🤍 Run the bath. Let the water hold you.
🤍 Place your hand on your heart and breathe deeply.
🤍 Moisturise slowly, gently — with gratitude for a body that is trying so hard.
🤍 Choose food that nourishes, rest that restores, moments that feel soft.
🤍 Do one small thing that makes your younger self smile.

You have carried appointments, injections, waiting rooms and what-ifs.
You have shown up again and again.
Of course you are exhausted.

But you are also brave. And worthy of deep, unconditional love — especially from yourself.

Let today be less about pressure and more about permission.
Permission to rest.
Permission to pause.
Permission to prioritise you.

You deserve tenderness and a moment of ‘time out’ . 💛 Sending you all so much love

💛 8 Loving Tips for Valentine’s Day When TTC

Valentine’s Day can feel complicated when you’re trying to conceive. Between hope, pressure and waiting, it’s easy to forget that your relationship deserves tenderness too.

Here are some gentle ways to protect your connection today:

🤍 Create a “no baby talk” space — just for today. Let it be about you as partners, not plans.

🤍 Revisit your early memories — look through old photos or recreate your first date. Remember why you chose each other.

🤍 Unplug from phones — even for an hour. Sit close. Be present.

🤍 Write a few simple words — tell them what you love most about who they are.

🤍 Make space for laughter — a silly game, a funny film, something light.

🤍 Indulge in a cosy spa night at home — candles, blankets, warm baths.

🤍 Do one small act of kindness — their favourite meal, a note in their pocket.

🤍 Capture a new memory — a walk, an ice cream, a quiet moment that says “we’re in this together.”

Most importantly, be gentle with yourselves. TTC can take so much emotional energy. Choosing connection — even softly — is powerful.

Sending so much love to you today. 💛
And remember, everyone at IVFbabble has got your back — today and always.

🚨 The IVF postcode lottery is getting worse

Millions in England are still only entitled to ONE round of NHS IVF — despite NICE guidelines recommending three full cycles.

📍 Nearly 70% of areas now fund just one cycle
⚠️ Many offer only partial treatment
💔 Your postcode can determine your chance of having a baby

Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples globally. IVF isn’t a luxury — it’s essential healthcare.

It shouldn’t matter where you live.
It shouldn’t depend on your bank balance.
And it shouldn’t be this unfair.

🧬 PGT-P: Know the Facts

🇬🇧 UK:
PGT-P is not legal. The says it’s not supported by evidence.

🇺🇸 USA:
Some clinics offer it — but the ASRM says PGT-P is unproven and shouldn’t be used routinely.

Always ask if a treatment is safe, evidence-based, and right for you.

🎗️ When facing cancer, the focus is always on treatment first.

In this thoughtful conversation, James Nicopoullos from Lister Fertility Clinic gently explains why, where possible, it can still be worth talking about fertility before starting radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

Some cancer treatments may affect future fertility — and for some patients, having a quiet, supportive conversation about fertility preservation can help keep options open for later in life.

There’s no pressure.
No right or wrong decision.
Just information, care and choice — at a time when so much can feel uncertain.

If this conversation helps even one person feel more informed or supported, it matters 🤍

🧠 “Infertility made me feel like less of a man.”

When we talk about fertility, men are too often left out of the conversation — yet male factors contribute to around half of all infertility cases.

In this powerful story, one man shares how infertility affected his identity, confidence and mental health — and why silence only deepens the stigma.

Infertility is not a personal failure. It’s a medical condition — and in so many cases, there is help through lifestyle tweaks or medical intervention.

👉 Talking about male fertility matters.

Today is World Cancer Day 💜
This year’s message is United by Unique — because while 1 in 2 of us will be affected by cancer, no two journeys are ever the same.

Different diagnoses. Different paths. Different hopes.

But we’re united in the need for compassion, research, early detection — and better care.

It’s also about awareness that for many people, there are options to preserve fertility and keep future family dreams possible after a diagnosis.

Sending so much love to everyone who has been touched by cancer. 🤍
Every story matters. United by Unique.

💔 “We feel robbed of the chance to start a family.”
In one part of the UK, a couple are being denied IVF simply because of where they live — and in another, an Ipswich couple who survived cancer were told NHS-funded IVF isn’t available to them, even after fertility was affected by treatment. 

This isn’t just two stories — so many people across the UK face the same postcode lottery that decides whether they can access IVF. How can that be right? 🇬🇧💬
