🌱 World Fertility Day : The Importance of Counselling 🌱

Fertility challenges can be one of the most emotionally demanding journeys a person or couple may face. World Fertility Day is a time to raise awareness, foster understanding, and remind everyone that emotional wellbeing is just as vital as physical health in the path to parenthood.

Counselling provides a safe and supportive space to explore the complex feelings that often accompany fertility struggles—grief, frustration, guilt, or isolation. It helps individuals and couples build resilience, improve communication, and regain a sense of control during what can often feel like an uncertain process.

Professional fertility counsellors understand the unique pressures of treatments, decisions, and outcomes, offering tools to manage anxiety and strengthen coping strategies. Whether you’re starting fertility investigations, considering IVF, or processing outcomes, seeking support is not a sign of weakness—it’s an act of courage and self-care.

Today and throughout National Fertility Week, let’s continue the conversation about fertility and emotional health. No one should walk this road alone—help and hope are always within reach. 💚

Drogheda couple share their fertility story and say “When I think about how far we’ve gotten to today, and how our family of two became a family of three, I think about science, and how I made a baby with science and got magic”

Drogheda couple Emma Kavanagh (35) and Seán Gillivan (33) always suspected having children would be difficult for them, so she was not surprised by her unexplained infertility diagnosis

According to a 2015 study published in the National Library of Medicine, approximately 30pc of infertile couples across the world are diagnosed with unexplained infertility.

This phenomenon is defined by the lack of medical evidence to point to a specific cause for a person’s inability to conceive.

'Before putting any of our own money into treatment, we decided to hold off and see if we could avail of the Government-funded IVF treatment we were hearing whispers about', Emma says.

'We waited patiently and eagerly throughout the summer and the start of autumn. There was ongoing talk about the launch of the new scheme, but it kept getting delayed. We managed to cling on to whatever hope was left in between all the setbacks.

'Then, in September, 2023, the State-funded fertility treatment was officially rolled out.'
