Dear colleague,

Trying to conceive while keeping up with your job’s demands is hard. If you have upcoming fertility treatment, there’s a big chance you’re feeling uncomfortable discussing this with your headteacher. Not all employers are aware of what IVF means or how to support you.

If you’re like me, you might have already experienced a lack of empathy. I heard things like: “just relax and it will happen”. Nobody seems to understand the IVF process and the emotional turmoil.

I’m here to guide you through these challenges. I’m a fertility coach and workplace fertility consultant. Through specialist coaching, I can help you manage the uncomfortable feelings that come with fertility issues. You can take back control of these emotions whilst trying to conceive. So you can get back to living your life and continue to succeed in your career.

Over the past 2 years, I have supported women like you through infertility via my social media channels. Many teachers sent heartfelt messages to tell me about the difference the platform Fertility Issues in Teaching has made on their path to parenthood.

Based on my own experience and that of my clients, I created a guide that will equip you with the resources for that initial conversation with your headteacher. Everything is planned out for you, so you don’t need to think about what to say.
