Notes from my clinical practice

Stories, questions and reflections inspired by real fertility consultations.

I write these after the consulting room has emptied. They aren't advice and they aren't case studies — they're what stayed with me.

The Memory of Treatment

For a long time, I thought that fertility treatment decisions were mostly about probabilities and statistics. I'm no longer sure that's true.

In the quiet of the consulting room, the word "negative" carries more weight than any clinical textbook can describe.

"How do I keep my relationship from becoming just a 'project' while we're trying to conceive?"

There is a specific silence that falls during an early pregnancy ultrasound scan.
