Every year we take part in the Vhi Women's Mini Marathon, and this year we’re running in support of the Irish Cancer Society, a cause that means a great deal to us.

The Merrion Fertility Clinic team is proud to support the Irish Cancer Society through the Childhood Cancer Fertility Project.

Every year in Ireland, approximately 200 children receive a cancer diagnosis. The treatments they undergo can have long-term effects on their fertility, impacting their hopes of starting a family someday.

This initiative ensures that they have access to fertility preservation options and that lifesaving treatment for children does not come at the cost of their future dreams of parenthood.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month 🎗️

Dr Horan, a consultant at Merrion Fertility Clinic and The National Maternity Hospital, is the Principal Investigator of the EndoFert Study. Her research is focused on improving understanding of endometriosis and how it affects fertility, with the aim of helping more women receive earlier diagnosis, better care, and improved outcomes.

Endometriosis affects around 1 in 10 women and is something many fertility patients live with, often for years before receiving a diagnosis. Research like the EndoFert Study is an important step toward better understanding the condition and how it impacts reproductive health.

We’re proud to see Dr Horan involved in work that has the potential to make a real difference for patients.

The EndoFert Study is funded by the NMH Foundation, whose wonderful supporters make this research possible.



• March is Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, impacting daily life, fertility, and long-term health. Research is essential to improving understanding, diagnosis, and care.

In this video, Dr Maebh Horan, Principal Investigator of the EndoFert Study, explains how her research at The National Maternity Hospital is investigating endometriosis and its effects on fertility, with the goal of improving outcomes for women living with the condition.

Today we celebrate the incredible women on our team, whose care, expertise and dedication make a difference every day.

We’re also thinking of the many strong and resilient women we support. Every fertility journey is unique, and we see the courage, hope and determination it takes to keep moving forward.

On International Women’s Day, we recognise and celebrate women everywhere, their strength, their stories and the support they give one another.

After weeks of preparation, scan appointments, blood tests, carefully timed medication and detailed guidance, the day of egg collection has arrived. It’s natural to feel a mix of emotions.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be supported by a dedicated team. Our healthcare assistant and nurses will help you get settled, guide you through the process, answer any questions, and make sure you feel at ease and informed before the procedure. The doctor performing the egg collection will be supported by a consultant anaesthetist, who will ensure you remain comfortable throughout.

Behind the scenes, our embryologist will be ready in the lab to carefully assess and care for the eggs as soon as they are collected. They play a vital role, ensuring that everything is handled with precision and attention.

After the procedure, you will rest in recovery with our nursing team until you feel ready to go home. Before you leave, our nurses will provide clear aftercare advice and let you know when to expect further updates.

Our priority is to make the experience as calm, safe and reassuring as possible.

On International Childhood Cancer Day🎗️we are proud to collaborate with the Irish Cancer Society and Children’s Health Ireland on The Childhood Cancer Fertility Project.

Each year in Ireland around 200 children are diagnosed with cancer, the treatments for which can cause lifelong damage to fertility, seriously impacting their future chances of ever starting a family of their own.

A partnership between The Irish Cancer Society, Children’s Health Ireland and Merrion Fertility Clinic aims to ensure that, where possible, lifesaving treatment for children does not come at the cost of their future dreams of parenthood.

New publication in ‘Human Reproduction’

“Contribution of endometrial microbiome to inflammation-mediated infertility in women undergoing ART”

Fascinating paper from Dr. Federica Giangrazi and the reproductive immunology team at Trinity College Dublin and Merrion Fertility Clinic.

Their latest study in Human Reproduction explores how the endometrial microbiome may shape local immune responses that are critical at the point of embryo implantation. It shows that women who don’t achieve pregnancy after ART tend to have a more diverse uterine microbial community with fewer lactobacilli, and that microbial metabolites like butyrate can influence epithelial barrier function and inflammatory signalling in the endometrium.

This adds important detail to our understanding of reproductive immunology and highlights how host–microbiota interactions might affect fertility outcomes.
