Assisted Conception & Family Building in 2023

The start of 2023 provides renewed opportunity to reflect on future goals, personal relationships and family plans. The decision to have a child is a big step and the journey to parenthood can be long and complex, especially when it involves assisted conception. Furthermore, fertility treatment does not guarantee conception or delivery of a much-wanted child, with reducing prospects of success due to age-related fertility decline. This makes it important to plan ahead, make informed decisions and put together a viable action plan.

Making Fertility Treatment Fair: Equality in Access, Equality in Outcome

Progress Educational Trust’s third virtual annual conference took place on 7 December 2022 entitled “Making Fertility Treatment Fair: Equality in Access, Equality in Outcome?”. Louisa Ghevaert was delighted to attend the event and join the debate addressing global reproductive issues and access to fertility care. Overall, Progress Educational Trust’s 2022 AGM shone an illuminating light on the wide-ranging and complex challenges which continue to impact access to health and fertility care, underpin gender and racial inequities and undermine successful outcomes.

Is it important to protect my fertility and genetic legacy?

Individual fertility is precious and fragile. It can be lost or impaired for a variety of reasons, making it important to maximise and protect it for future family building purposes. Recognition and protection of individual genetic legacy is also becoming increasingly important from a medical standpoint, personal identity perspective, for personal privacy and security reasons and for the benefit of future generations as scientific, medical and genomic technology continues to rapidly advance. As such, it is important to take steps to protect individual fertility and genetic legacy not just for yourself but for the benefit of your partner/spouse and family too.

Changing Face of Family Life and Fertility in England and Wales in 2022

Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) give important insight into the changing face of family life and fertility in England and Wales. They show that for the first time last year (2021), more babies were born outside of marriage in England and Wales than within marriage. They also show long-term trends in decreasing live births and increasing later-life parenthood as more people delay having children to focus on their careers. These trends indicate growing acceptance of non-traditional family building and family forms in England and Wales.
