When people prepare for fertility treatment, most of the focus naturally goes to the medical side: appointments, blood tests, injections, timing, and logistics. All of that matters. But emotional preparation is often the part people underestimate until they are already in it.

Treatment can bring uncertainty, vulnerability, hope, disappointment, impatience, and comparison, often all at the same time. It can help to think ahead about who you want involved, how much you want to share, and what actually helps you feel grounded when stress rises. For some people, that means keeping things private. For others, it means deliberately building a small support team.

Emotional preparation is not about becoming perfectly calm. It is about making the process feel a little more held and a little less chaotic. That is worthwhile in its own right.

In my fourth year of obstetrics and gynaecology training, one rotation at the Royal Melbourne Hospital changed the direction of my life.

It was my first real exposure to fertility medicine, and something about it just clicked.

This is where it all began — and why I still love what I do.

I love popping into the embryology lab and seeing some of the careful work that happens behind the scenes.

This is where eggs are checked, prepared for ICSI, or prepared for freezing — all with incredible precision.

These scientists are incredible — we couldn’t do what we do without them!

The two-week wait is stressful because it asks for patience from someone who has already been patient for so long. The emotional weight comes from uncertainty — not knowing what the outcome will be, and having no ability to influence it.
What helps is structure and boundaries. Plan activities that occupy mental space. Protect your emotional wellbeing. Avoid googling symptoms — pregnancy symptoms and progesterone side effects are identical, and googling will only fuel anxiety.
You are allowed to prioritise yourself during this time. Give yourself permission to feel tired, hopeful, frustrated, scared — all at once.

Confused about embryo grading? You’re definitely not alone! Embryo grading is one of the most common topics patients ask about during IVF. Check out the slides (and my linked blog on the topic) to find out why you shouldn’t fixate on this result. There’s more to the picture than grades.

One of my favourite parts of this job? Moments like this. 💛 When babies come back to visit, the cuddles are always a highlight — but they also remind me how much work, perseverance, and emotional strength goes into every journey to parenthood. The road is not always easy, and it’s never walked alone.
I will always do my best for my patients and remain committed to them throughout their care, but outcomes like this are the result of working together — patience, resilience, trust, and determination from parents every step of the way.
Moments like these make the long days, difficult conversations, and careful planning all worth it. 🍼✨

When people think about fertility, they often jump straight to ovulation, IVF, or egg quality. But before any of that, there are some quieter foundations that matter more than they are often given credit for. General health, medications, nutrition, smoking, alcohol, weight changes, sleep, and management of existing medical conditions can all shape the environment in which conception happens. Reproductive health is not separate from overall health.
This is one reason preconception planning can be so valuable. It is not about trying to create a perfect body or a perfect lifestyle before pregnancy. It is about reducing avoidable risks where possible and making sure there is a thoughtful plan in place. For some people, that includes reviewing medications, making sure vaccinations are up to date, starting folate, or checking whether cycle patterns suggest anything worth investigating.
A lot of patients tell me they assumed they should just “start trying and see what happens.” Sometimes that is completely reasonable. But for others, especially if there are known health issues, irregular cycles, painful periods, or previous reproductive concerns, a little preparation can make the process feel more informed and less chaotic.

Supplement advice online is often overwhelming. Many women trying to conceive are bombarded with long lists of vitamins, powders, and “fertility boosters,” and it can quickly start to feel as though falling pregnant requires a shopping trolley full of products. Usually, the reality is far less dramatic.
The supplement that matters most before pregnancy is folate, because it reduces the risk of neural tube defects and works best when started before conception rather than afterwards. Beyond that, what is appropriate can vary. Some people may benefit from a general preconception vitamin, while others may need something more tailored depending on medical history, diet, medications, or blood results.
What I think is most helpful is stripping away the noise. The aim is not to do everything. The aim is to cover the important basics and avoid spending money, energy, and emotional bandwidth on things that may add more anxiety than value.

Baby-L is just too cute ! 💛 I was so grateful to receive this lovely update and photo — thank you for sharing such a special moment!
Mummy-B’s story is one I see often: secondary infertility. She conceived her first child naturally, but trying for baby number two didn’t happen as expected. Secondary infertility can feel particularly difficult because couples often don’t anticipate challenges the second time around. There can be many reasons — sometimes it’s simply being older, and sometimes new fertility factors arise. In situations like this, IVF can offer an effective way to move forward when natural conception isn’t happening. This was the case with Baby-L. He was the result of Mummy-B's first IVF cycle!
Wishing this beautiful family so much joy as Baby-L grows. 🍼✨

Fear of the unknown keeps many people from booking their first fertility consultation. In reality, the first appointment is largely discussion — not procedures or decisions.
The aim is to understand your reproductive health, explain options, and answer questions honestly. There is no pressure to proceed unless and until you are ready.
Knowing what to expect can make taking that first step feel much easier.
