While sperm need to be strong swimmers to reach the egg, they’re certainly not acting alone in their mission! A woman’s womb naturally contracts and relaxes to help the sperm on their way to their fallopian tubes. It’s a team effort. #Fertility

It’s true. Some of your lifestyle choices may affect which genes you pass on to your children. Research suggests certain factors like nutrition leave ‘epigenetic marks’ on your egg or sperm cell’s DNA. These are tiny chemical footprints that affect which genes are switched on and off. So living a healthy lifestyle may influence more than just your own life – it can affect future generations too! #Fertility

Fibroids are common, benign growths that can develop in the uterus. Many people have them without experiencing any symptoms, but in some cases, they can make it harder for an embryo to implant. As part of your initial consultation, we’ll use an ultrasound scan to check for fibroids, alongside other factors that may be affecting your fertility. If you’re seeking answers about your fertility, call or email our team to book a consultation. #fertility #fibroids
