National Fertility Awareness Week

National Fertility Awareness Week runs from Monday October 28 to November 3.

Monday is #MentalMatters day – infertility is a disease that is not only about your physical health, but one that can affect your mental

health too. It is so important to look after and be kind to yourself.

Tuesday is #FertilityInTheWorkplace day – most people going through fertility treatment are of working age. It’s important to both know your rights as an employee, and how to provide a supportive work environment as an employer.

Wednesday is #MenMatter day – men are half of the fertility equation but may find it harder to express their feelings. Unfortunately, there is a severe lack of promotion of male voices in this community. To raise awareness of this, Fertility Network UK will spotlight he male voice and share testimonials from men facing infertility.

Thursday is #FertilityEducation day – 71 per cent of young people are not aware of lifestyle factors that could affect their fertility. We share results from our own Fertility Education project #FutureFertility, which was funded by the Scottish Government.

Friday to Sunday is #TheFertilityShow – Fertility Week culminates in The Fertility Show at Olympia, London – the biggest and best-attended fertility show in the world. Fertility Network is proud to be a partner of the show. Join us there https://www.fertilityshow.co.uk/london
